Planetary Health Diet 2025: Meat Consumption Must Fall for Planet's Sake
The eagerly awaited update to the 'planetary health diet' has been published in The Lancet. Led by renowned scientists like Walter Willett, the report from the EAT-Lancet Commission reiterates its 2019 recommendation to limit meat consumption for the sake of both human health and the planet.
The updated report, like its predecessor, emphasizes the importance of a predominantly plant-based diet. It advises minimal consumption of added sugars, saturated fats, and salt. Animal-sourced foods, including meat, should be consumed in moderation. The commission, which includes Willett, maintains this stance despite initial resistance from the food industry. The report highlights the need for dietary adjustments to ensure both individual health and planetary sustainability.
The updated 'planetary health diet' in The Lancet reaffirms the 2019 study's recommendation to reduce meat consumption. The report underscores the importance of a balanced, mostly plant-based diet for both personal well-being and environmental protection.
