Study: Vegetarian food may not be an effective way to curb warming.

BEIJING, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- According to the
Central
News Agency" reported that on September 17, local time,
U.S.
Johns Hopkins Livable Future Center released a new research report shows that eating meat properly has little impact on climate change, vegetarian food is not necessarily an effective way to curb climate change.
, scientists surveyed 140 countries and estimated greenhouse gas and freshwater consumption from nine different eating habits. They found that in most of the countries they surveyed, people ate meat, fish or dairy products only once a day, which had a smaller impact on warming and water resources than some vegetarian diets.
researchers say diets, including ingesting insects, small fish and mopeds, have a similar environmental impact to vegetarians, but have relatively higher nutritional value.
world, many climate campaigners and scientists are calling for a vegetarian diet to curb warming and reduce deforestation, according to a report in the United States. But Keeve Nachman, the study's leader, says there is no one-of-a-number solution.
low- and middle-income countries, such as Indonesia, generally need to eat more animal protein to get adequate nutrition, he said.This means that poorer countries must increase their diet-related greenhouse gas emissions and water use if they are to reduce hunger and malnutrition, but high-income countries can eat meat, dairy products and eggs relatively frequently, according to the
study.
