EAT Lancet: Sustainable diet or unaffordable, privileged option? (Daily Hunt)

Daily Hunt (UK) reported on new research on recommendations from the EAT-Lancet diet to save our health and the planet. The recommendations may have some flaws - affordability for one, according to the new study, Affordability of the EAT-Lancet reference diet: a global analysis. Research fellow and lead author of the study,  Kalle Hirvonen, stated, "the global median of the proposed diet would cost $2.84 per day (based on 2011 prices). In low-income countries, that amounts to 89.1 percent of a household's daily per capita income, which is more than people can actually spend on food." Republished by Yahoo Lifestyle
