Animal agriculture is a major cause of carbon emissions and is a big contributor to the decline of the rainforests. At the same time, eating too much meat is unhealthy for people. So eating less meat helps planet and people. More and more governments advise their citizens to eat less dairy and meat. Now China joins that movement with the announcement of a new set of dietary guidelines that, if followed, have the potential to see the overall consumption of meat in the country drop by 50 percent. The Chinese authorities advise citizens to limit meat intake to only 200 grams per day. At this time, the current consumption of meat and eggs in China is on average 300 grams per day.
