Book Review
How Bad Are Bananas - The Carbon Footprint of Everything by Mike Berners-Lee
The quick answer is "not bad at all". The longer answer, about carbon footprints in general, is considerably more complex.
The author attempts to assign a carbon footprint value to a wide variety of activities that are part of our modern world. As he says, several times, it's not an exact science and is really more of an indication of how various activities influence our carbon footprint.
The book is worth reading from cover to cover, or as a quick lookup of whatever item or activity you're interested in. Items are categorized by amount of CO2 they contribute and there is a good section on Food in general and how one could go about understanding the scope of the problem and where to get trusted information.
