Late last week a group of scientists and nutrition experts unveiled an updated global diet plan. This diet is a bit different. It's not just about what you put into your body to make you healthier. It's also about how we produce food to keep the planet healthy.
The EAT-Lancet Commission says adopting its diet recommendations could prevent 40,000 early deaths per day across the world... and cut emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The diet's key message: eat way less meat and more plants.
Fill your plate with veggies, fruits, whole grains, legumes and nuts... and keep meat, especially red meat, for special occasions... maybe one small steak or lamb chop a week.
