Eat Less American

Meat might be fine in moderation, but the all-American diet of meat once—or even three times—a day is probably not the best thing for anyone. A full 37% of human-induced methane emissions come from livestock! And unfortunately, even organic, free-range can’t protect you from some problematic industrial chemicals found in meat, which accumulate in animal fat, transfer to our bodies when we eat it, and can even be passed on to our children when we’re pregnant. If you do eat meat, search out low-fat meats, and reduce the fat content by trimming it away before cooking.
