Occasionally I like to revisit one of the greatest magazine feature leads ever written:

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Reader support helps sustain our work. Donate today to keep our climate news free. All donations DOUBLED!

That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.

Perfect.
