If you want your chili to be truly eco-friendly, ditch the meat.

I don't care for the texture of tofu, but I found that I could hide it in dishes like chili. After my oldest was born, I went back to eating meat in moderation but I've kept using tofu in my chili because it's so much lower in calories than even extra-lean beef or chicken (94 per 4 oz. of tofu vs. 190 for extra-lean ground beef and 170 for ground chicken).
