More veg, less meat: The latest update on a diet good for people and planet​

​

A long-awaited expert update on the dietary changes needed to support both human and planetary health comes out clearly in favour of a plant-based approach.​

​

The EAT-Lancet Commission says a shift towards its planetary health diet, released last week, could prevent 40,000 early deaths a day across the world and cut agricultural methane emissions by 15 per cent by 2050.​

​

The diet promotes more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and nuts, with only modest amounts of meat, fish, poultry and dairy.​

​

The most contentious aspect is the commission’s recommendation on meat: Just 14 grams a day of red meat and 29 grams a day of poultry – that’s roughly one small steak, one lamb chop, or two chicken drumsticks a week.​

DUDE, I have no clue who you are, but I see you posting EVERYWHERE and you are always speaking THE TRUTH!!! (Spreading the good word)

EAT-Lancet got hammered by the meat industry last time it was released and I think there's a solid sense with many people that it's been debunked. The question might be just how widespread that sentiment is. Big Meat just hates any suggestion we should reduce meat consumption...

The Study Big Meat Tried to Bury — and Why It Matters Again

When a sweeping scientific study called for eating less meat, the meat industry launched a full-scale attack. And we could be in for a repeat.

I watched a documentary about the total amount of animal products that could be safely be consumed in a diet. 4oz. per week of dairy products, meat, chicken, fish and eggs. This was a total amount, not 4oz each.

They examined the Blue Zone diets in Sardinia and Okinawa, and found they were only consuming animal products about 3-4 times per month

So true. So sad.
