Prevention’s test kitchen will no longer create recipes that include beef, for the health of people and the planet.
by researchers at the University of Minnesota connects the health of our bodies to the health of our environment.
“Foods associated with the largest negative environmental impacts—unprocessed and processed red meat—are consistently associated with the largest increases in disease risk,” the study concludes. “Thus, dietary transitions toward greater consumption of healthier foods would generally improveSujatha Bergen, director of health campaigns at the National Resources Defense Council, says that when consumers make informed choices about beef, they can affect change on a huge scale.
Brian Kateman, president and co-founder of the Reducetarian Foundation, places an emphasis on at least reducing the amount of meat we eat. “Buying a Tesla is not something everyone can do," he says. But"there’s plenty of opportunity for people to move meat away from the center of their plates, and make vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes the stars of their meals.”
"Meat consumption isn’t an all-or-nothing premise," Kateman explains."[You] might feel intimidated by veganism or vegetarianism, but if we can get a large majority of people to cut back by a small amount, that’s going to make an even greater difference than a small number of highly committed people going vegetarian or vegan.” And if you have the opportunity to buy from a local farmer committed to sustainable practices, that’s a strong show of support for the planet.
