Yet more evidence of the multiple benefits of diet shifts towards more, or only, plant foods!
"The indicators clearly highlight the environmental and health advantages of plant-based diets compared with the omnivorous baseline."
"The indicators clearly highlight the environmental and health advantages of plant-based diets compared with the omnivorous baseline."
Switching from an omnivorous to a vegan diet can reduce daily greenhouse gas emissions by 46%, while also lowering land and water use and maintaining nutritional balance.
Vegan diet can halve your carbon footprint, study finds
Only around 1.1% of the world's population is vegan, but this percentage is growing. For example, in Germany the number of vegans approximately doubled between 2016 and 2020 to 2% of the population, while a 2.4-fold increase between 2023 and 2025 to 4.7% of the population has been reported in the UK.

Briefing paper warned proscription could also heighten Muslim-Jewish tensions and be seen as favouring Israel
Ministers banned Palestine Action despite being told by their advisers it could “inadvertently enhance” the group’s profile, an official government document shows.

In other words, US politicians and pressure groups can pipe the party line directly into millions of households unchallenged, in a way that is much harder in the UK.
This has a huge impact both on trust and cohesion, and on whether politicians feel the need to appeal to moderates or just partisans.
