The Best & Easiest Strategy For Weight Loss, Health & The Planet
Our food choices matter right from the get-go
I often wonder about the environmental impact our dietary choices impose on the planet.
Food systems are responsible for more than a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s probably unrealistic to expect that we could reduce greenhouse emissions by altering our food consumption — although it would be an ideal goal.
However, the issue is becoming increasingly urgent as the population keeps expanding and hunger results from Covid or war.
Livestock is our main culprit of emissions at 14 per cent, after energy 35 per cent and transport 23 per cent.
To make a difference, adapt to a plant-based only diet or add a lot more plants to your nutritional plan than meat.
People tend to have a high attachment to meat because of their inherent beliefs and the media’s infiltration of false information.
