US diet flagged for high environmental burden and poor nutrition

A life cycle assessment finds the current US diet imposes the highest environmental burdens while delivering relatively poor nutrition, largely due to high consumption of animal-derived proteins, particularly beef, along with refined grains and processed fruit products. The findings point to diet composition as a key driver of both food-system emissions and public health shortcomings.
Why now: A new life cycle assessment linking American eating habits to both environmental damage and weak nutrition is drawing attention.
