16 Apr 2019 --- The World Health Organization (WHO) has pulled out of supporting the EAT-Lancet diet, touted as being a “diet for planetary health.” The global initiative calls for a dramatic reduction in meat consumption and an increased focus on plant-based ingredients for human health. After receiving widespread attention, the diet has come under pressure from an Italian UN official who raised concerns about the impact of the diet on people’s health and livelihoods, leading to the global body to drop its endorsement.
