Nutritionists and climate experts are warning of the consequences of high levels of animal-based food consumption in high- and middle-income countries. As a result, a shift towards more plant-rich eating patterns is increasingly recommended. If followed consistently, such a diet can reduce the risk of many lifestyle diseases and, at the same time, help combat climate change and biodiversity loss. To determine whether plant-based meat and milk alternatives can be a healthy choice compared to their animal-based counter-parts, we conducted an international nutritional assessment of plant-based alternatives available in local supermarkets in 11 countries.
