planetbased

planetbased is a term that refers to a dietary approach focused on consuming foods derived from plants. This typically includes fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Planetbased diets emphasize whole, unprocessed or minimally processed plant foods. While often associated with veganism or vegetarianism, planetbased can also encompass diets that include small amounts of animal products, provided the primary focus remains on plant-derived foods. The rationale behind adopting a planetbased diet often includes perceived health benefits, environmental sustainability, and ethical considerations regarding animal welfare. Proponents suggest that such diets can contribute to lower risks of chronic diseases. From an environmental perspective, plantbased food systems are often considered to have a smaller carbon footprint and require less land and water compared to diets with higher meat consumption. The term itself highlights the connection between food choices and their impact on the planet. There is a growing interest in planetbased eating as individuals seek to align their dietary habits with broader concerns about health and ecological impact. Different interpretations exist regarding the strictness of adherence to a planetbased diet.
