Dietary Panel: Eating Less Meat is Better for the Environment
If you want to help save the planet, eat less meat.
That’s the conclusion of freshly-minted federal recommendations that could radically alter the way Americans eat.
“A diet higher in plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and lower in calories and animal-based foods is more health promoting and is associated with less environmental impact than is the current U.S. diet,” states the report from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
