Up for discussion this month in Lady Bay is the new diet that a group of 37 scientists from around the world were brought together as part of the EAT-Lancet commission.
There is a Facebook page called Lady Bay Cuts Carbon that offers great tips from locals on how to lead a life that contains less plastic, recycles more and is better for the environment. Recently they have shared the news covered by The Guardian, the Independent and the BBC. It seems that scientists have been trying to figure out how we are going to feed billions more people in the decades to come. The answer seems to be to eat far less meat and to be more plant based with our diets, to eat more nuts and legumes to get our protein.
Although the recommended diet does not cut out red meat all together it suggests only eating a burger a week or a large steak a month and that's your lot.You can still have a couple of portions of fish and the same of chicken a week.
So this is what, according to researchers our daily food should look like:

A great time to try out veganism, or indeed a more flexitarian approach; trying to cut out meat on most days and eat a vegan diet instead. Any move we can make to reduce our consumption of meat from what we currently consume can only be a good thing. Not only for the environment but also for the growing population and the welfare of animals.
