First of all, explain that and why is that?
Triple duty diets.
It's a diet that simultaneously addresses hunger, obesity, and climate change.
Well, I mean, okay, that solution seems clear.
Eat more plants, eat less beef.

And we're talking about this right as we also are understanding that there's global hunger.
800 million people face global hunger.
