🤝Because, in the end, everyone will benefit from a more #sustainable #FoodSystem
The #HiddenCosts of current #diets are estimated to be $10 trillion globally, with the largest proportion of these costs in Europe & North America being health costs—particularly due to excess consumption of red and processed meat: www.fao.org/agrifood-eco... - pp. 4, 12 (fig. 6), 14 (fig. 8b)
Not only does meat (particularly red meat 🥩) have high environmental impacts (inc GHG emissions, pollution, land & water use), excess consumption also has negative #health impacts—increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
This comes as no surprise, as concern about #climatechange and #environmental impacts are also generally divided along generational lines.
