A new life-cycle assessment finds the typical American diet carries the highest environmental burden among diets studied while also performing poorly on nutrition. Researchers attribute this mainly to high consumption of animal-derived proteins, especially beef, alongside refined grains and processed fruit products. The findings are prompting discussion among nutrition and sustainability experts about the climate and health costs of US eating habits.
Why now: New research links American dietary patterns to top environmental damage and weak nutrition outcomes.
