EAST ANGLIA, UNITED KINGDOM: October 26, 2010: Scientists from the University of East Anglia analyzed existing data on the nutritional and environmental effects of different kinds of foods and recommended eating less beef, sugar, and cheese, as well as drinking less tea and coffee. The report was commissioned by the Food Standards Agency to try to change the way people cook and eat.
The report suggests that schools, hospitals and other public bodies should be expected to lead a change in national behavior by putting food on their menus which has contributed little to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The report noted: “The highest GHG emissions are associated with beef, cheese, coffee, tea and cocoa consumption.”
