Planetary Diet - Created To Save The Earth

There has been a lot of talk lately about the future of the planet and the expected overpopulation of the Earth in the coming years. By 2050, the population is expected to be around 10 billion, and food remains the most serious problem. How can it be enough for everyone and be complete enough to ensure a healthy life and at the same time not destroy the planet?

Experts are already working to create a diet that includes all major food groups and limits the harmful effects on the environment caused by industrial food production.

Many people spend a lot of time learning how to eat healthily, and the possibilities are so many. Should we be vegan? Should we consume dairy products or not? Is almond milk production really more environmentally friendly than cow's milk production? Which is the better choice - farmed fish, wild or not? There are times when we all feel like chickpeas are the only food choice.

The report of the Committee on Food and Health of the planet Eat-Lancet shows that the food system of the planet is disrupted. The figures show that more than 2 billion people are micronutrient deficient, almost 1 billion are starving, while 2.1 billion adults are overweight or obese. Unhealthy diets are considered to be the biggest problem in the modern world, and mortality due to harmful lifestyles is higher than that caused by unsafe sex, smoking and drugs, even in combination.

The diet is based on the Mediterranean, but with fewer eggs, less meat and fish and no sugar. The amount of animal products is declining, and foods that are adaptable to the diet are being preserved in most of the world, such as potatoes, cassava, and meat, vegetarian and vegan diets are being restricted. The regime also restricts many of the things people cook with - alcohol, seaweed, dried fruit, coconut milk.

The calories in this diet are about 2500, which is estimated to be the ideal amount for men and women with medium or high activity, aged about 30 years and with weights of 70 for men and 60 for women, respectively.
