On the impact of animal-based diets on the environment and on health 

The petitioner requests that the European Union put in place measures to educate the public and healthcare professionals on the major negative impact of animal-based diets on the environment and on health as opposed to the positive impact of plant-based diets. The petitioner points out that most deaths in the western world, such as those resulting from heart disease, cancer and diabetes, could, to a large extent, be prevented if people followed plant-based diets. The petitioner calls for the European Union to allocate sufficient funds to educate people on the negative effects of animal-based diets on the environment and on health in order for there to be a gradual shift towards plant-based diets.
