Could cutting back on sweets, pastries, and junk food help reduce greenhouse gases?
A 2021 study published in the journal Current Nutrition Reports reviewed 20 studies that evaluated the environmental impact of food consumption in Australia and New Zealand, and while the environmental impacts of consuming meat are well-documented, this study shines a spotlight on the carbon footprint of processed food.
While around 70 percent of Australia’s food related greenhouse gases in this new study came from foods that are considered staples, including fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and meat, 30 percent came from avoidable energy-rich and nutrient-poor discretionary foods, such as sugar-sweetened drinks, pastries, confectionary foods, processed meat, and alcohol.
