There's tricky psychology behind 'eat less beef'
That sweeping, 556-page report with a 22-point action plan doesn’t call for an army of vegans to bring down the beef industry. Richard Waite, World Resources Institute researcher and co-author of the report, says their plan assumes most people will continue to eat beef well into the future. Not only that, the plan calls only for U.S. and other Western eaters to consume just a little less beef so that people in the developing world can eat a little more.
Here’s where things get tricky. “Plant-based” can be a very wide category filled with both healthy and not-so-healthy food. Take the Impossible Burger, for example. The nutritional content of an Impossible burger is fairly similar to beef, at least in terms of calories and fat, but, just as with beef burgers, there’s plenty of variation in how these veggie burgers can be prepared.
