The western diet
And its impact on the environment and our
health
The western diet
 The western diet consists mainly of fast food
and processed foods with minimal intakes of
fresh produce.
 High in salt, sugar and fat
 Contains mostly animal products
Environmental footprint
 Studies show that a vegetarian diet could feed more people
than a meat-based diet: 20% of the corn grown in the
United States is eaten by people, with about 80% of the
corn eaten by livestock.
 Approximately 25 gallons of water are needed to produce 1
pound of wheat. Around 2,500 gallons of water are needed
to produce 1 pound of meat.
 The animal industry is responsible for 15% of global
greenhouse gas emissions.
Health implications
 Increases the risk of diabetes,
heat disease and some cancers.
 Increases the risk of obesity and
hypertension.
 Diets with little fruits and
vegetables can be low in
vitamins minerals and fiber
crucial to our health.
The solution
A change in people`s dietary habits
 Stimulating sustainable food production
 Promoting sustainable food consumption
 Lower livestock production will lead to 25–40% lower
greenhouse gas emissions.
