The “At Ease With the Earth” Podcast Sets Its New Chapter on Greener Diets by Comparing the Change in Nutrition to the Emergence of New Food Lines: Vegetarian, Vegan, and Flexitarian Diets
Food connects the countryside and the cities (European Medical Institute of Obesity).
Henar Fernandez, driver of ‘The Scalpel’, and Noelia Lopeza Nestlé nutritionist, analyze each type of food in search of the most sustainable diet.
Strict vegetarian diets are those that do not allow any foods of animal origin. In addition to meat and fish, they also exclude foods such as dairy products, eggs and honey.
The same goes for vegan food. Added to this case is an ethical component of the utmost importance, such as animal protection.
“Vegans and vegans maintain a strong respect for animals. Try to avoid their suffering and mistreatment, and of course also their death. The involvement of this group of people goes beyond diet,”
says the Nestlé nutritionist.
This group also avoid the use of skins and cosmetics that are not certified with the label of free of animal abuse and products tested on animals.
flexitarianism
What is known as a flexitarian diet refers to a less restrictive and sustainable diet. His followers have allowed to include dairy, eggs and honey.
Flexitarianism is a trend that consists of a homolacteovegeratian diet most of the time.
“The difference is that it does exclude meat, fish and shellfish, but occasionally they allow it in very tight portions,”
the nutritionist points out.
In other words, chicken will never be the main ingredient of a flexitarian diet, but it can be part of a recipe where its quantity is minimal.
This type of diet has a positive impact on the environment, gradually reducing the intake of products excluded in other stricter diets such as veganism.
The flexitarian practice allows to give a turn to the diet starting with the progressive reduction of meat and fish.
food sustainability
The proper sustainable diet reaches its peak in a specific diet: the planetary diet
This is seen as the most complete nutrition from the point of sustainability.
“Beyond the reduction of food of animal origin or the production of extensive livestock, it also contemplates actions such as local consumption and curbing food waste,”
adds Noelia López.
It is estimated that with this diet you can reach reduce around 30% of greenhouse gases. Reduced wildlife loss by 46% and agricultural land use by 40%.
It even increases the quality of life reducing by 20 percent the number of premature deaths.
The fair meat, the same fish
- Beef, lamb, and pork should be adjusted between 0 grams and 28 grams per day.
- Poultry, such as chicken, between 0 grams and 58 grams.
The most practical, exposes the nutritionist, is to add the amounts and group them into weekly intakes.
