➡️🍗 Favour poultry or pork

Not all meat has the same impact on the climate. To reduce your carbon footprint, it's better to eat poultry than pork, beef, veal, mutton or lamb.

Poultry requires less food than other animals to grow. So less energy and water are used to produce the cereals that will feed the animals. Above all, chickens do not emit methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

What's more, eating less meat and charcuterie is good for your health, because eaten in excess, meat and charcuterie increase the risk of colorectal cancer. It's best to avoid eating meat every day (for adults, limit to 500g of meat, i.e. 2 to 3 steaks, and 15g of charcuterie, the equivalent of 3 slices of sausage per week)
