A diet has been developed that promises to save lives, feed 10 billion people and all without causing catastrophic damage to the planet.
Scientists have been trying to figure out how we are going to feed billions more people in the decades to come.
Their answer - "the planetary health diet" - does not completely banish meat and dairy.
But it requires a ginormous shift in what we pile onto our plates and turning to foods that we barely eat.
What changes am I going to have to make?
If you eat meat every day then this is the first biggie. For red meat you're looking at a burger a week or a large steak a month and that's your lot.

There are also the vegans and vegetarians for stupid reasons. They tend to look like they are three days dead. They are also fat. And boy do you hear about their diet. All the time. It is like dealing with democrats, which most of them are. You say, "nice day" and they will tell you how much nicer the day would be if all the world quit eating animal products.
What is funny is when the two groups meet. Oy vey! I just sit back with a meat stick and watch the show.
I have an alternative idea. How about we just let the market handle it? Last I checked we have an obesity epidemic in most first and even second world countries. It seems to me the market is doing an awfully good job of providing more food than we even need. Pretty sure we could grow more if we needed to.
If not....well then I guess some poor backward 3rd world countries better start embracing birth control hadn’t they?
Those 76 “scientists “ aren’t gonna feed too many
Might have to throw in the thousands they weeded out of the survey to get to the 76 out of 78 that fit the pre-determined outcome
Look at the verbiage of the article. It’s filled with examples of control language. “One big steak and that’s your lot.” Or this gem: “What changes am I going to have to make?
I flip the bird at these “scientists” and “experts”. When SHTF, I hope someone grabs these fools and eats THEM.
Bugs. The Dems want us to eat bugs. Roachburgers anyine?
Wait,what, so it’s no more Big MagaMacs at the White House?
Sounds worse than the depression
Who is “We” Kemosabe??
F U
I could tell THEM what to eat ...
Or they can develop clean energy sources (nuclear) and combine that with vertical farming and grow all the food anyone could ever want.
Nah - its about control.
Abundance scares the Left. No one would need them.
I have a really pessimistic attitude about these things. If they really think humans are that smart and empathetic to do things like this they are fooling themselves. The truth is rich people in nice countries will eat whatever the hell they want, and lots of poor people will starve. Like what has happened for centuries.
It’s like glabal warming, even the people who know its true don’t really do anything different. Theres an extremely small percentage of people who actually make sacrifices in their lifestyle. I don’t even think it’s worth talking about any of it anymore
“So who is going to tell the ETB cardholders that they cannot eat Ribeye, T bones and Prime Rib every day like they do now?”
The EBT cards I see being used are buying Red Bull and Gummy Worms mostly. Oh, and cigarettes if they have cash loaded.
Too much work and travel the last few years and I’ve slipped a lot but at age 45 not too many years ago i subsisted on red meat, eggs, almonds, cashews, cheese, and a little bit of broccoli and yams and could run a 5 minute mile, bench press more than twice my weight and hike 25+ miles a day with a rifle and pack at altitude for days on end
Got back on a more normal diet the last few years and those numbers have probably dropped 50%
Humans need meat and fat to be healthy and strong...and i suspect that is why these experts dont want us to have it
wow!
282 grams of carbs and 31 grams of sugar!
diabetes and heart disease guaranteed!
Soylent Green is people.
“I work with several vegetarians and they’re quite healthy.”
vegetarians perhaps, but not vegans, whose diet it so unnatural and so unhealthy, that the only way they can stay alive is to consume a synthetic vitamin B-12 supplement, since B-12 can be obtained only from animal products in nature, which is why our maker gave all of us our Wolfish canine teeth ...
That is the truth. The elites want us to eat bugs for our one meal a day while they have high quality food 3 times a day.
“For red meat you’re looking at a burger a week or a large steak a month and that’s your lot.”
Ummm, no WE aren’t.
