It’s because they assume the most carbon intensive route possible at every step. They grow corn in Texas, ship it to Brazil to raise a cow, import water, and then ship the beef to New York. Of course it comes out to some absurd number.

That isn’t how most people actually get beef though. The beef I get comes from the cow eating grass in the field at the end of my street and the water comes out of the local well.
