i've heard something about rice paddies, saying they're a major contributer to greenhouse gas emmissions, (methane particularly). Is this true, and if so, should those, ie vegans persuing an emission friendly diet consider reducing rice intake too?

Livestock is a lot more methane compared to how many people are fed by livestock as opposed to rice. Rice is a staple of half the planet and produces less than half the methane of livestock. But they could grow it differently and produce less methane.

The prob about rice is just that is not very nutricious!

Brown rice is very nutritious, it's just not too many people eat it. And not only is it a great whole food, it requires less processing than white rice, and is a meal in itself.

Thanks for the vid. I never knew it was as much as 20%. It's be interesting to know how much this is compared to the same amount of food crops, so I'm off to research.
Just one thing:
"The United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization"
Should read:
"The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization"
as there is more than one Nation :)

The world bank has new figures that states that livestock production is actually responsible for 50% plus of GHG, and not the previous 20% as previously thought.
