How true is it that our dietary choices can affect our planet's health?
It's clear that our dietary choices particularly the ones that tend to have meat in them, do contribute significantly to climate change. If we choose to act on this, how do we go about it. Here are some doable acts or tips
1. Meat free Monday. Green entrepreneur Craig Sams said: If everyone stopped eating meat every Monday it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 200 million tons of carbon dioxide a year and save tens of millions of hectares of rainforest from being destroyed to grow animal feed. The health benefits are a nice bonus, too."
2. Considering going vegetarian or vegan. The well being of the environment has become another reason to embrace vegetarianism.
3. Support organic stores and shops. Organic refers to the growing, raising or processing of food without drugs, synthetic chemicals or hormones using methods that conserve natural resources and limit the effects on the environment.
4. Avoid genetically modified foods.
5. Know what's in your plate. Read food labels, particularly those of processed food, which most likely contain additives.
