Many people eat vegan or vegetarian diets to help the environment, but going totally animal free isn’t necessary, according to this new study. Red meat and pork are strongly limited, but seafood, poultry, and dairy can be enjoyed in moderation.
Dr. Roni Neff, an assistant professor of environmental health and engineering at John Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF), suggests to seek out sustainable produced options when consuming red meat, eating fresh produce in season, consuming organic and local foods, and eating less processed foods are ways to reduce the environmental impact of the foods we eat.
