飲食越安康,糜費也會越多
人們越來越多的認識到飲食與安康之間的關(guān)系,但飲食越安康,糜費也會越多,這是真的嗎?
Turns out your healthy eating habits might be impacting the environment in a negative way.
事實證明,你的安康飲食習氣可能會對環(huán)境形成負面影響。
A new study revealed that Americans waste nearly a pound of food per person each day, and those with higher quality diets are the worst offenders.
一項新的研討顯現(xiàn),美國人每人每天糜費近一磅的食物,而那些追求高質(zhì)量飲食的人則是罪魁禍首。
The research, released by the USDA, University of Vermont, and University of New Hampshire, found that between 2007 and 2014, U.S. consumers wasted nearly 150,000 tons of food per day, which equals roughly 30 percent of the average daily calories consumed by all Americans combined.
由美國農(nóng)業(yè)部、佛蒙特大學和新罕布什爾大學發(fā)布的這項研討發(fā)現(xiàn),在2007年到2014年間,美國消費者每天糜費近15萬噸的食物,大約相當于一切美國人均勻每天耗費的熱量總和的30%。
Researchers categorized waste in 22 different food groups and found that fruits, vegetables and mixed fruit and vegetable dishes were wasted most, equaling 39 percent of the total, followed by dairy at 17 percent and meat and mixed meat dishes at 14 percent.
研討人員對22個不同的食品渣滓群停止了分類,發(fā)現(xiàn)水果、蔬菜和什錦果蔬被糜費的最多,占總數(shù)的39%,其次是奶制品,占17%,肉類和什錦肉食占14%。
“Higher quality diets have greater amounts of fruits and vegetables, which are being wasted in greater quantities than other food,” study co-author Meredith Niles, a University of Vermont assistant professor, said in a press release. “Eating healthy is important, and brings many benefits, but as we pursue these diets, we must think much more consciously about food waste.”
該研討的合著者,佛蒙特大學助理教授梅雷迪思.奈爾斯在一次新聞發(fā)布會上說:“高質(zhì)量的飲食含有更多的水果和蔬菜,它們被糜費的量比其他食物都要多。安康飲食是很重要,而且會帶來很多益處,但我們追求這些飲食時,必需更有認識地思索食物糜費的問題。
