New life cycle assessment research finds the current American diet carries the highest environmental burdens while performing relatively poorly on nutrition.

Food and sustainability commentators are sharing the findings as evidence that dietary shifts away from beef could cut environmental impact.
Why now: New research linking the typical American diet to high environmental costs is circulating among food and sustainability commentators.
