What is the planetary diet?

A: The planetary diet, or the flexitarian diet, does not mean that you will have to get rid of all the meat and dairy products of your life. "If we only downplayed greenhouse gases, we would say that everyone is vegan," said researcher Walter Willet. But according to him, a vegan diet was not necessarily the best health option. For meat lovers, however, it will always mean making important adjustments and relying on nuts and legumes for protein. According to Willet, "global consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes should double, and consumption of food such as red meat and sugar will need to be reduced by more than 50%. A diet rich in plant-based foods and containing fewer foods of animal origin confers both improved benefits for health and the environment. "
