It May Be a Healthy Diet But I'm Not Sure I Could Take It?


It is certainly the case that much is wrong with our diets in the UK, with obesity reportedly being a bigger killer than the contribution made by smoking, unsafe sex and every other unhealthy activity. What we eat also clearly has a major detrimental influence on the environment of the planet. I am not sure, however, whether I would be able to live on the menu proposed in this article (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jan/17/seeds-kale-red-meat-once-a-month-diet-save-the-world). It certainly would be an end to cookery programmes and eating out. I also suspect that, if red meat was only consumed once a month, it would become a very expensive item. The described diet also appears to take no account of the body size and level of activity of the eater?
