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.

“this is what you are allowed each day”
That’s the real issue. These leftscum want control and power - tell us what we are ALLOWED EACH DAY. Of course they will be “allowed” whatever they want. The rules will just be for us little people.
Nanny State to the rescue again.
I do not agree to this.
Fork that.
A government that can control what you eat can control who you have sex with and if you ever have children.
Yes we are
Then just like the climate-change pimps that fly around the world to spread their "gospel" while saying how we need to use solar and wind only, what they are is
FAKE
Believe it or not, there is a product on the market called “Soy-Lent.” Just not color coded yet.
Really only Africa is out of control with their birth rate. Even Muslim nations are starting to have their birth rates decreased, look at Iran. A quick Google search shows that their birth rate is now 1.66, which is lower than USA. Right now ours is 1.77.
REAL MEN eat whatever they d*mned well please, including Quiche.
We have 125 lbs of new deer meat in our freezer. We had about 25lbs left over from last year. We intend to eat it all and then replenish it with new game next season off my own land. I could even have cattle but they are to much work. Deer taste better.
And if we do this and the 10 billion people have an additional 10 billion people then what do we do?
Oh I know, the ‘elites’ take over and ‘control starvation’ while living high on the hog themselves... The eternal leftist solution for everything.
A government that can control what you eat probably does not believe in God, but eventually will believe it is them.
I considered a.vegetarian diet.
Then I decided they’re too scrawny, and have little meat on them.
Vegetables are what food eats.
We should eat a varied, healthy diet and avoid eating too much. I’ve know a couple of vegetarians. Both were women. They eventually had health problems and were advised by their doctors to eat some meat (that is, fish, chicken, beef, etc.).
If we need to grow some trees to eat beef, so be it. Plants love warmth and CO2. With a little bit of help in terms of irrigation, we can accelerate the greening of the planet.
How about liberals stop eating, or just feed them shredded coexist bumper stickers and shredded birkenstocks.
I know this wasn't the point you were making but:
The projections I've seen are that the word's population will top out at about 11 billion before starting a slow decline. We're at 7.7 billion now and no one is starving. There isn't any mass starvation on the horizon.
