To fight climate change and tackle the growing crisis of diet-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, British consumers must cut down on meat and dairy produce, reduce their intake of processed foods and curb waste.

These are the three priorities identified in a report by the government's independent advisory body on sustainability, the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC), which calls for radical changes in patterns of consumption.

The report – which will dismay many in the livestock and processed food industries – will feed into all government departments and procurement agencies. Well-placed sources say it has created tension between Whitehall departments and advisers over its potential impact.

BTW - I hear Hitler was a vegetarian and big on population control.

Sorry, if people aren't going to watch what they eat for the sake of their own health, they're definitely not going to because "zzomg ocean gonna rise like 35 feet next month!"  Better make a law or something.   :whatever:
