商品描述

A scientifically rigorous guide to making the best dietary choices for both our personal health and our environmental footprint.

Many of us try our best to eat foods that are healthy and environmentally sustainable. But are we getting it right? Which foods amount to "wise" choices, and which ones are best avoided? Common views often range widely and are sometimes even contradictory. Likely most unfortunate is conscientious individuals who go to great lengths in their quest to minimize environmental impacts following the wrong advice. In Planetary Eating, Gidon Eshel aims to minimize such misuse of good will by providing scientifically untrained readers with the tools needed to make the best choices for themselves and for our planet.

Eshel writes that dietary choices, and the corresponding agricultural patterns, are, for most of us, our principal form of planetary agency--the main ways by which we impact our overburdened and undernourished host planet. Agriculture and diet are therefore most productively examined through the planetary science perspective. Starting from rather basic (but not quite first) principles, Planetary Eating offers impartial, fact-based analysis with firm foundations in earth and planetary sciences on how to make the right dietary choices.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一本科學嚴謹的指南,幫助我們在個人健康和環境足跡之間做出最佳飲食選擇。

許多人努力選擇健康且環境可持續的食物。但我們真的做對了嗎?哪些食物算是「明智」的選擇,哪些又是應該避免的?常見的觀點往往差異很大,有時甚至相互矛盾。最不幸的可能是那些有良知的人,為了減少環境影響而遵循錯誤的建議,付出了很大的努力。在Planetary Eating中,Gidon Eshel旨在通過為科學素養不足的讀者提供所需的工具,來最小化這種善意的誤用,幫助他們為自己和我們的星球做出最佳選擇。

Eshel寫道,飲食選擇及相應的農業模式,對於我們大多數人來說,是我們對這個過度負擔且營養不足的母星行星的主要影響方式。因此,農業和飲食最有效的檢視方式是從行星科學的角度出發。從相對基本(但不完全是最初)的原則開始,Planetary Eating提供了基於事實的公正分析,並以地球和行星科學為堅實基礎,指導我們如何做出正確的飲食選擇。
