HEART DISEASE AND CLIMATE CHANGE: EATING LESS MEAT WILL HELP REDUCE RISK OF BOTH

BRITONS have been advised to reduce the amount of meat they eat to help save the planet.
Scientists yesterday claimed a 30 per cent reduction in meat consumption would cut both climate change and heart disease.
This would be the equivalent of about two chicken breasts or seven fewer sausages a week per person.
Experts said animal farming in rich nations, such as the UK, must be reduced by almost a third if climate change targets are to be met.
This would also save about 18,000 lives a year.
Writing in the Lancet, the team of British and Australian scientists claim food production from animals is a major source of greenhouse gases. They said by 2030, rising demand for meat was expected to drive up livestock production globally by 85 per cent from 2000 levels.
But last night Prof Ian Crute, of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, said: “A large fall in meat eating or turning vegetarian is not the solution to climate change. It would make only a marginal difference.”

中新网9月8日电 联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)主席帕乔里近来呼吁：发达国家应少吃肉类，为减少温室气体排放尽一份心力。他鼓励民众从每星期选一天不吃肉做起，慢慢减少餐桌上肉类消耗。英国著名经济学家尼古拉斯-斯特恩勋爵日前发出呼吁，号召人们放弃肉食而改吃素食，以减少温室气体排放、拯救地球。
联合国粮农组织在一份题为《牲畜的巨大阴影：环境问题与选择》的报告中，系统阐述了动物产品对全球生态环境的巨大影响，联合国粮食及农业组织有关负责人说：“畜牧业是造成今日严重环境危机的最重要原因之一，必须采取紧急行动才能补救。 ”
据联合国粮农组织(FAO)及专家学者的调查显示，畜牧业所排放的二氧化碳将近占全球总排放量的18%，较全球交通工具的二氧化碳总排放量还多；畜牧业中又以牛只碳总排放量最高，每头牛1年所排放的二氧化碳总量，相当于一辆汽车7万公里的排放量。
《世界观察》杂志(11/12月刊)中刊登题为《牲畜和气候变化》的报告中认为，牲畜及其副产品的温室气体排放至少占世界总排放51%，远远超过粮农组织FAO先前估计的数值18%!
2009年3月23日，美国《内科学文献集》杂志刊登的研究报告特地指出：每天吃肉二两多的人不仅比吃肉少的人更可能死于心脏病和癌症，而且还更可能死于别的疾病。
哈佛大学的一位营养学专家说：“你可以成为一名健康的完全素食者，但是你如果以素食为主少吃一些肉，那么你会更健康。 ……最好是不要天天吃肉。” |
