WASHINGTON — A new study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that beef production and consumption causes the largest environmental impact, compared to other meat products.

It used to be enough for chefs to prepare a selection of the requisite “meat and two veg” on a plate and call it done. But those days are over,since restaurant-goers are now craving specific cuts or types of meat prepared in innovative ways and paired with creative sides. Across Canada, beef, pork and chicken remain the preferred proteins, continuing to shine on menus from Vancouver to Newfoundland. In fact, when combined, these three proteins account for nearly 3.4-billion servings at Canadian restaurants in the 12-months ending February 2014, according to Joel Gregoire, account manager, Foodservice at The NPD Group in Toronto.
