Experts say world needs a new diet
We should eat less
beef, more beans
By CANDICE CHOI

The Clatsop County Fairgrounds has offered the
use of the fairgrounds for an evening of bow and arrow
shooting for $5 per person. If there are enough people
to make it worthwhile for the fairgrounds, it is possible
to develop a regular shoot.
There are a number of buoys already set up that are
used as backstops for a 4-H archery club. It can also be
arranged to be able to shoot from 10 to 30 yards.
Some bows and arrows are available to borrow for
those who have no gear, and there are some knowl-
edgeable archers to help beginners. For experienced
archers, this is a chance to sight the bow inside, where
there is nothing to affect the fl ight of the arrow.
Those who are interested should call Jim Bergeron
at 503-458-6829.
4-H hosts family
bingo night Saturday
The Daily Astorian
NEW YORK — A ham-
burger a week, but no more
— that’s about as much red
meat people should eat to do
what’s best for their health
and the planet, according to
a report seeking to overhaul
the world’s diet.
Eggs should be limited
to fewer than about four a
week, the report says. Dairy
foods should be about a
serving a day, or less.
The report from a panel
of nutrition, agriculture and
environmental experts rec-
ommends a plant-based
diet, based on previously
published studies that have
linked red meat to increased
risk of health problems.
It also comes amid recent
studies of how eating hab-
its affect the environment.
Producing red meat takes up
land and feed to raise cattle,
which also emit the green-
house gas methane.
John Ioannidis, chair of
disease prevention at Stan-
ford University, said he wel-
comed the growing attention
to how diets affect the envi-
ronment, but that the report’s
recommendations do not
refl ect the level of scientifi c
uncertainties around nutri-
tion and health.
“The evidence is not as
strong as it seems to be,”
Ioannidis said.
The report was organized
by EAT, a Stockholm-based
nonprofi t seeking to improve
the food system, and pub-
lished Wednesday by the
medical journal Lancet.
The panel of experts who
wrote it says a “Great Food
Transformation” is urgently
needed by 2050, and that the
optimal diet they outline is
fl exible enough to accom-
modate food cultures around
the world.

A plant-based burger made from wheat protein, coconut oil,
potato protein and other ingredients in Bellevue, Neb.
Overall, the diet encour-
ages whole grains, beans,
fruits and most vegetables,
and says to limit added sug-
ars, refi ned grains such as
white rice and starches like
potatoes and cassava. It says
red meat consumption on
average needs to be slashed
by half globally, though the
necessary changes vary by
region and reductions would
need to be more dramatic
in richer countries like the
United States.
Convincing people to
limit meat, cheese and eggs
won’t be easy, however, par-
ticularly in places where
those foods are a notable
part of culture.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil, sys-
tems analyst Cleberson Ber-
nardes said as he was leaving
a barbecue restaurant that
limiting himself to just one
serving of red meat a week
would be “ridiculous.” In
Berlin, Germany, craftsman
Erik Langguth said there are
better ways to reduce green-
house gas emissions, and
dismissed the suggestion
that the world needs to cut
back on meat.
“If it hasn’t got meat,
it’s not a proper meal,”
said Langguth, who is from
a region known for its
bratwurst sausages.
Before even factoring in
the environmental implica-
tions, the report sought to
sketch out what the health-
iest diet for people would
look like. While eggs are no
longer thought to increase
risk of heart disease, the
report recommends limiting
them because studies indi-
cate a breakfast of whole
grains, nuts and fruit would
be healthier.
Advice to limit red meat
is not new, and is tied to its
saturated fat content, which
is also found in cheese, milk,
nuts and packaged foods
with coconut and palm ker-
nel oils. The report notes
most evidence on diet and
health is from Europe and
the United States. In Asian
countries, a large analy-
sis found eating poultry and
red meat (mostly pork) was
associated with improved
lifespans. That might be in
part because people might
eat smaller amounts of meat
in those countries, the report
says.
Ioannidis noted nutrition
research is often based on
observational links between
diet and health, and that
some past associations have
not been validated.
