Is it possible to have a diet（日常饮食）that's both healthy and friendly to our planet？Here are answers to your eco﹣friendly food questions.

In general，beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant﹣based foods like beans，rice，corn and wheat have the smallest influence.Pork，chicken，eggs are somewhere in the middle.
