Protein Guide. Find the best meat and best protein choices for your health and the environment.
When it comes to your health and the environment, what are the best protein sources and which are the worst? The Environmental Working Group (EWG, ewg.org) offers a “Meat Eaters Guide,” which looks at the environmental impact of 20 conventionally-grown protein sources, including beans, dairy, produce, meat and poultry. To determine the rankings EWG evaluated the carbon impact of the food’s full “lifecycle”—including water and fertilizer used to grow crops, transportation and even the amount of food that’s wasted.
