The less meat people consume and the healthier their diet becomes, the more the climate benefits, Oxford University scientists said in a study (http://www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1523119113) published Monday.
If people in developed countries such as the U.S. were to eat less red meat and move steadily toward a vegetarian or vegan diet, they could live longer while helping to slash greenhouse gas emissions from food production by between 29 and 70% by 2050, according to the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

While the study does **t break new ground in **ting the climate benefits of moving away from meat and toward a plant-based diet, it does succeed in tying those climate benefits to human health. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/03/22/diet-reduce-greenhouse-gas/)
