Dear Australians, get ready to become quasi-vegetarian by 2050. Grains & beans is what you will be eating, according to the people designing your future diets. The FABLE report, brought to you by EAT-Lancet, the World Resources Institute, IIASA & FOLU.

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo Australians will have to face a 91% decrease in red meat consumption. But no reason to worry, your pulses will be multiplied x15!

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo You may acknowledge:

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo Other countries involved:

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo Plans will be published this month still.

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo "Five countries aim to lower animal-based calorie intake between 2015 and 2050 (Australia, China, Finland, the UK, & the US)"

ehr 🤔 people designing this Great Transition may well be assuming this, but maybe they should verify if the citizens of these nations agree with this?

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo Rejoice, the "protective" Garden-of-Eden diet is coming your way... 🌈🦄

@LouiseStephen9 @BelindaFettke @FructoseNo It's not as if the decreasing trend in Australian red meat consumption during the last decades has brought a lot of health benefits until now. Do we really want to go further down that road?
