Mark Bittman: Eating Right Can Save The Planet

In his new book, Mark Bittman, one of my favorite food writers (How To Cook Everything and How To Cook Everything: Vegetarian are my go-to cookbooks, with apologies to The Joy of Cooking) makes the case for drastically recalibrating our diets.

Bittman says that Americans raise and slaughter 10 billion animals each year for consumption. If we all decreased consumption of animal products by 10 percent, he says, it “would have both an environmental impact and an impact on all of our mutual health.”
