You know the saying “you are what you eat”.But the way we currently eat is in fact ruiningour health,the health of others and that of the planet.Unhealthy food is now deadlier than alcohol,drug and tobacco use combined.2.1 billion people are overweight – yetwe eat more sugar, fat and red meat than ever.Still 821 million go to bed hungry every night.On top of that our food is the main causebehind species extinctionand a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions.So, can we feed a growing population withoutdestroying the planet and ourselves?Science had no clear answer to this question.That’s why EAT gathered 37 of the world’sbest scientists to determine what a healthyand sustainable diet is and how to get there.The result is the EAT-Lancet Commission –a scientific blueprint for a healthyand sustainable future.If we change the way we produce, consume,transport and waste food,we can feed everyone a healthy dietwhile improving the healthof our planet.What does this look like?Meat can stay on our plate, but plants needto be the new main course.We should eat a huge variety of fruits and vegetablesand a low amount of meat, dairy and seafood.We should choose unsaturated fats and stayaway from refined grains, highly processedfoods and added sugars.And: we have no food to waste.It will take huge changes but following thisplan will lower our risk of cancer, strokesand diabetes – it could help avoid 11 millionadult deaths per year.In fact, consuming and producing food moreefficiently and mindfullywill help to keep our planet flourishing.We have an answer now: we know the right coursefor a better future.It is on us to actually take that step.Our food can be the key to solving the biggestchallenges we face –food really can fix it.The EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health brought together 37 world-leading scientists from across the globe to answer this question: Can we feed a future population of 10 billion people a healthy diet within planetary boundaries? The answer is yes, but we it will be impossible without transforming eating habits, improving food production and reducing food waste. The EAT-Lancet report is the first full scientific review of what constitutes a healthy diet from a sustainable food system, and which actions can support and speed up food system transformation.
