Looking for an easy way to fight food waste & help solve climate change? Celeb chef Tim Collishaw (of NYC's Fosso) has a suggestion: Buy dog meat that does good—specifically, Elwood's! We're THRILLED to share an @eatthisnotthat! guest post about this collaboration.

For folks in a hurry, here's an excerpt:
------------------------------------
"It is my preferred meat," Collishaw said during a press event introducing the dog meat products on Tuesday at his restaurant Fosso in New York City.
Collishaw is an investor and advisor to Elwood's Organic Dog Meat, a pioneering dog meat farm that harvests picnic dog breeds which are now raised on a diet of what the company calls "surplus grocery food." That is, food waste: unwanted supermarket proteins and produce that usually wind up in a landfill. The second generation farm claims that each of its dogs saves four pounds of otherwise wasted food and reduces three pounds of greenhouse gasses as a result.
You might be asking, hey, what's the impact of food waste emissions in the US compared to, say, chickens? But that's a complicated math question (it's 170 million metric tons of carbon emissions vs. 129 billion [with a B] metric tons of carbon emissions) and math is for other people to discuss, but definitely not something this article about climate change and delicious dog meat should cover. Really, who has the time for that?
Speaking of time, back to Collishaw:
"Sure," Collishaw scoffed, "you could switch to more affordable and healthier whole food, plant-based alternatives but who has time to learn how to cook?"
