Sustainable Food Trust Rebuts EAT-Lancet Recommendations
|
|
The Sustainable Food Trust responded to the EAT-Lancet recommendations with a rebuttal, pointing out that it would be impossible to have a sustainable food system in many countries including the U.K. Without basing agriculture on ruminant livestock because in many countries a high proportion of land is suitable only for growing grass. They also objected to the recommendations to increase poultry at the expense of ruminant meat and milk, pointing out that birds can't live on grass whereas ruminants convert grass and other forage that is indigestible for humans into highly digestible and nutritious meat and milk. 
They went on to point out that the plant oils recommended by the EAT commission are associated with "devastating environmental destruction " and are major causes of pollinator (bee) decline "due to the high need of these crops for insecticides." And they take the EAT dictocrats to task for ignoring the large number of studies that have challenged the belief that saturated fats are harmful and say that the EAT commission "may be driven more by ideology than a balanced assessment of the evidence." Ya think? �
