After clinic today, I will be mostly reading the report (EAT-Lancet commision on healthy diets from sustainable food systems); published last night.
The report says that diet and food production must radically change to improve health and avoid potentially catastrophic damage to the planet.
The key messages , in (extreme) brief, seem to be that unhealthy and unsustainable produced food poses a global risk to people and the planet and that the aim is to transform to a healthier and more sustainable diet by 2050. This will mean a more than 50% reduction of foods like red meat and sugar and with massive increases in foods such as fruit, vegetable, nuts, legumes . This suggest a shift to a plant based diet. This backs up the recent One Blue Dot report, produced by the British Dietetic Association at the end of last year.
I will check back when I’ve read the full report.
