Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
According to the PB&J Campaign, changing the world is as easy as packing yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch each day. They say that eating a single peanut butter and jelly (although I'm actually quite partial to honey instead of jelly) instead of a lunch based on animal protein can save the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of carbon emissions and 280 gallons of water. Makes you think twice the next time you find yourself reaching for a burger. Their website also offers alternatives to PB&J if you aren't partial to that combo (or you eat your lunch at a place that forbids peanut products). Remember that peanut butter is also delicious spread inside celery, on apple slices or atop a piece of toast in the morning. If you're looking for ways to mix up that nutty spread, try stirring in a little cinnamon.

That's the goal of the Fight Hunger with Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches Campaign. This is a link to the first event, but there are now a few events per year, I believe.

Peanut butter is very fortifying. The USDA lists 188 calories per serving: http://calorielookup.com/food/view/16098.
The calories are mostly from fat, but there's 8 grams of protein in there as well. They list a serving as 2 tablespoons, but I think most people probably use closer to 1 tablespoon.

Or if you're allergic to peanuts, like me, and even a teaspoon of peanut butter could kill you.
The basic point of this movement is just that the most common (and typically inhumane) methods of raising and butchering animals for human consumption generally create a lot of carbon emissions which obviously contribute to global warming - thus, simply eating less meat and reducing the demand for meat products would, in theory, be helpful to the environment. Eating a PB&J for lunch is a very specific example of how you could accomplish this, but really all you'd need to do is to simple eat more exclusively vegetarian meals than you normally would and eat less or no meat.

@ # 2...2 tablespoons per serving? Ha! Try 4 or 5 for this guy! :)
