Researchers have found that simple dietary substitutions, such as opting for poultry over beef, can have a positive impact on carbon footprints and dietary quality in the United States.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuOct 31 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study in Nature Food, researchers evaluated the environmental and health impact of simple food substitutions in the United States diet.
Promoting simple dietary substitutions, such as opting for poultry over beef, can be a more feasible and impactful solution than drastic alterations like becoming vegetarian. This research primarily centered on greenhouse gas emissions, a critical environmental impact of food production. The emissions data were derived from the Food Recall Impacts on the Environment for Nutrition and Dietary Studies Database. This database offered insights into the greenhouse gas emissions tied to the production of specific food items, as reported by the participants.
The analysis and simulations were conducted considering the complex survey design of the NHANES, with findings subject to review and approval by relevant Institutional Review Boards. For instance, in the protein group, beef was frequently replaced with poultry. Mixed dishes saw substitutions of beef or pork entrees with poultry or vegetarian versions. Milk and dairy products transitioned from animal-based to soy or almond-based alternatives and beverage swaps mostly involved replacing juice with whole fruits.
