Vegetarian diets produce fewer greenhouse gases and increase longevity, say new studies

Consuming a plant-based diet results in a more sustainable environment and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, while improving longevity, according to new research. Based on findings that identified food systems as a significant contributor to global warming, the study focuses on the dietary patterns of vegetarians, semi-vegetarians and non-vegetarians to quantify and compare greenhouse gas emissions, as well as assess total mortality.http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/b...
