"The report finds that the diets of the world’s richest 30% of the population contribute to more than 70% of environmental pressures from food systems.

The 2019 report faced a “massive online backlash” against some of its findings, particularly on cutting meat consumption, “stoked by a PR firm that represents the meat and dairy sector".

Rockström said the commission is “ready to meet that assault” if it arises again."

" Closely following a planet-friendly diet of mostly fruits, vegetables and whole grains reduces the risk of premature death by nearly one-third in people, while also dramatically cutting the release of greenhouse gases devastating the planet, a new study found.

“Eating more whole plant foods, less animal foods, and less highly processed foods is better for people and planet alike,” said Dr. David Katz, a specialist in preventive and lifestyle medicine. "

"#SustainableDiets have been around for ages, but an emerging #cookbook genre signals a new appetite for change.

In 2016, the term “#climatarian” entered the Cambridge Dictionary — referring to a person who bases their diet on the lowest possible carbon footprint. In 2020, a survey by the global market research company YouGov found that 1 in 5 U.S. millennials had changed their #diets to help the #climate."

Too many gadgets & #meat-centred #cooking: TV can make us think #unsustainable is normal. But switching to just a #climatarian diet (no #beef, lamb, goat; little #poultry, #pork, #fish) is one of the most impactful #climate actions people can take: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/27/tv-cooking-shows-climate-change-sustainability #vegan

@mariaq yes, been working on #climatarian eating for a few years now. It's been surprisingly fun :)

"I think the impact of our #diet matters. I write about it because I care about it. But I also think #food needs to taste good, and #climate-friendly options won’t win friends and influence people if they don’t."

This article talks about which climate-friendly food are also tasty, with a link to the more nuts-and-bolts data.

#Climatarian (and #pasta lover) tip: The most energy efficient method of cooking dried pasta is to pre-soak it in cold water before adding it to a pan of simmering water or sauce for one to two minutes. Keeping a lid on the pan is another simple thing you can do.

Are you a #climavore, #reducetarian, or #climatarian? Manufacturers, restaurants, and supermarkets are now catering to the demand for lower-carbon choices: packaging, ingredients air freighted, and foods that are environmentally damaging to produce.

Climatarian? Regenivore? New diets take aim at climate change

by Jennifer A. Kingson

Move over, locavores: A slew of new labels — from "climavore" to "reducetarian" — reflect the trend of people eating with sustainability in mind to reduce their climate "foodprint."

What does #SustainableSeafood look like in action? Perhaps like a ban on Maine lobster.

@greenback Thank you for sharing that! I hadn’t seen these specific recommendations yet, but it’s very much in line with what I just wrote about #flexitarianism and Lloyd’s definition of #climatarian. I like how you can see percentages here about plant vs. animal protein plus the downsized role of refined sugar. This could be useful for people who need more guidance than “eat fewer animal products.”

Care about the planet, but the thought of going #vegan just does not vibe with you? How about eating a #climatarian diet?

Learn more about what that means exactly in this piece from @lloydalter at #TreeHugger
