The real Mediterranean diet contains plenty of meat. The US-style Med diet based on post WWII populations without regular food supply and sampled during Lent. My book has full story. https://t.co/wsbMgj2x1G
Everybody cites that livestock contributes to 14.5% greenhouse gases (i.e. FAO estimate). However, this is the GLOBAL livestock GHG number. In the US it is 3.8, in Paraguay 50, and in Ethiopia 90% that livestock contributes to respective country’s carbon footprints.
Why we need a range of recommended diets. For instance: zero carbs works for some. Going low-ish carb had many of same effects for me. https://t.co/yV4HLmpxr7
