Abstract in brief

  • Rising incomes and urbanization are causing a shift in global diets towards more refined sugars, fats, oils, and meats, which could significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions and land clearing by 2050.
  • These dietary changes are also leading to higher rates of chronic diseases like type II diabetes and heart disease, reducing overall life expectancy worldwide.
  • Adopting healthier and more sustainable diets globally could help cut greenhouse emissions, prevent environmental damage, and decrease the burden of diet-related health issues, posing both a challenge and an opportunity for global health and environmental efforts.]

Most importantly it is consistent with the overwhelming weight of research on this issue which explains why there is never a reasoned response https://t.co/NsZXkdGJT2
