- Tofu (20 lbs): 9.07 kg (9,072 g)

Ok Ok. Lemme convert that.

One kilo of beef is roughly equal to 8 kilos of pork, 10 kilos of chicken, and 20 kilos of tofu in CO₂ emissions.

Though I agree with you that using metric system is better, here's what's important is the ratio, so the unit is not really relevant.

Nobody is eating a pound of beef anyway, or at least I hope not. And certainly nobody is eating a kilogram of beef!

Over what time interval?

Anything reasonable. Not in a single meal, not really in a day, and doesn't fit a week either I think.

Well a family could easily get through 4kg of meat a week
