Red meat isn’t always the best decision when it comes to dietary habits and we all know that. But if only that was it. Turns out, every time you reach out for a serving of meat in your meals, you’re harming the planet. Going at the current rate, by 2050, food and diet based pressure on the environment would increase by 90 percent, according to the study which was published last week in the journal Nature.
There has to be a significant shift to plant-based diets, away from meat and poultry, says the study. However, the study is limited in its approach to Western meat-heavy diets only and does not offer much on its Eastern counterparts.
