Abstract
Are you wondering what to prepare for dinner tonight? Data analyses reveal that certain food choices greatly benefit both your health and the environment. But what to do with this evidence remains a challenge to society. See Article p.518 Across the world, human diets are changing as incomes grow, with potential impacts for the environment as well as public health. David Tilman and Michael Clark have quantified the effects of dietary 'westernization' and for many aspects of diet, they find a tight link between health and environmental consequences. Unchecked, current dietary trends would materially increase global greenhouse gas emissions and increase the incidence of type II diabetes, obesity and coronary heart disease by 2050. What can be done about it? Informed choices by individuals would help, but to little overall effect without major policy changes in the environmental and agricultural sectors.
