A disappointing read given the many challenges we face collectively as a nation with obesity and globally with climate change.This article comes across a wildly overcooked reaction to what ultimately will be seen as a pivot point for our relationship with food as a species in years to come.

It is hard to find any scientific evidence that would disagree with the theory that eating less meat is better for the planet and the individual. The Eat Lancets suggestion should be welcomed for their informed contribution to the public debate around healthy eating habits, they should not demonized as some sort of partisan militant group.

This article could be better served by dialing down the use of populist language and recognising where food trends are going internationally, which is away from the resource intensive rearing of animal protein, towards a more sustainable system of plant based alternatives.
