"The study's authors warn that a common deficiency has been identified in every region of the planet: Diets consistently lack sufficient fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains. And in many places, there is an excess of meat, dairy products, animal fats, sugar, and overly processed foods. In fact, only 1% of the world's population lives in a safe and just environment, from a social, environmental, and health perspective."
"But, as Walter C. Willett, co-chair of the EAT-Lancet Commission and professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, points out, the PHD proposal is very consistent with the traditional Mediterranean diet and with other traditional diets from many parts of the world. Basically, what they propose is a variety of whole or minimally processed foods, mostly plant-based. The fats, they explain in a study released on October 2, are primarily unsaturated, with no partially hydrogenated oils."
An updated Planetary Health Diet model projects that worldwide adoption could avoid 15 million premature deaths annually (about 27%). Global diets commonly lack sufficient fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains, while many regions consume excessive meat, dairy, animal fats, sugar, and highly processed foods. Only 1% of people live in safe and just food environments by social, environmental, and health criteria. The recommended pattern emphasizes diverse whole or minimally processed, mostly plant-based foods, primarily unsaturated fats, minimal partially hydrogenated oils, limited added sugars and salt, cultural flexibility, and lower animal-protein intake.
