Food production has huge environmental impacts, creating more than a third of all greenhouse gas emissions(排放). To assess ways to reduce this impact, Rachel Mazac at the University of Helsinkiin Finland and her colleagues have studied the potential effects of switching to “novel and future foods”. “What we are looking at are foods that are novel in their production technology, like cultured meat or cultured milk,” says Mazac. Her team used the analyses to calculate the potential benefits of switching to these foods assuming people are willing to do so, compared with foods that are typically consumed in Europe. The results suggest that an “optimised diet” of novel foods could cut green house emissions by 83 percent, water use by 84 percent and land use by 87 percent. “We are seeing some pretty significant reductions in impacts,” says Mazac. The team also found that switching to a vegan(素食的)diet had the similar effect. But switching to lab-grown meat, rather than a vegan diet, could allow many people to eat foods that are more like their current diet. “It would be a way for someone to consume their fast-food burger, but save on land use and water use and global warming potential,” says Mazac. Speaking of the results, Tim Lang at City, University of London, says: “It's almost too good to be true.” If the findings are correct, the research has important policy implications(启示), he says. But Lang thinks the environmental benefits won't come about through consumers making voluntary changes to their diet. They will only play out if governments and companies essentially force these foods on people, he says. [小题1]What is Lang's attitude towards the future of novel foods? A.Doubtf
