Some food guides are unafraid of sustainability
Posted: 29 Mar 2016 05:52 AM PDT I’ve just heard about the new Netherlands food guide. It emphasizes sustainability. According to an article in National Geographic’s
The Plate,
Here’s what the
Netherlands food guide looks like. Google translator calls this a pyramid, and explains: “Moreover, the Pyramid helps you eat more environmentally friendly broadly.” Ours, of course,
looks like this. I’m guessing the USDA is working on a new food guide in response to the
2015 Dietary Guidelines. These do not mention sustainability at all—the S word. If you want to check out food guides from other countries, see
FAO’s pages on food-based dietary guidelines. You can search the site by regions and countries. Fun! |
