If we start banning certain foods like beef. We should do it equally. Only allow those crops with lowest CO2 per calorie/nutrient output. As clearly taste is secondary.

After all, replacing all we eat with tasteless gruel and water is acceptable by this logic.

The taste of a dish is mainly coming from the spices.

But they have little nutrional importance. As such producing them cause substantial extra CO2 load relatively. I think ban of them in such scenario is absolutely justified. As we clearly then want to do everything to combat climate change.

You clearly know shit about nutrition :) Spices are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, minerals. They don't produce extra CO2, to the contrary, they remove CO2. Enjoy your beef.

At some point Soylent Green becomes an acceptable option.
