China’s plan to cut meat consumption by 50% cheered by climate campaigners: (Jun 2016)

The Chinese government has outlined a plan to reduce its citizens’ meat consumption by 50%.
New dietary guidelines drawn up by China’s Health ministry recommend that the nation’s 1.3 billion population should consume only 14 to 27 kg of meat/person/year as compared to the current 63 kg/person/year. (meat: chicken/ pork/ beef/ lamb)
The measures, released once every 10 years, are designed to improve public health but could also provide a significant cut to greenhouse gas emissions.
In 1982, the average Chinese person ate just 13 kg of meat a year and beef was nicknamed “millionaire’s meat” due to its scarcity.
The emergence of China as a global economic power has radically altered the diets of a newly wealthy population. The average Chinese person now eats 63 kg of meat a year, with a further 30 kg of meat per person expected to be added by 2030 if nothing is done to disrupt this trend.
The new guidelines would reduce this to 14 kg to 27 kg a year. (Equivalent to the Chinese population consuming 40g to 75g of meat per person per day.)
The New dietary guidelines could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1 billion tonnes by 2030.
China’s New Dietary Guide looks similar to USA ‘My Plate” & Singapore’s “My Healthy Plate” Diet :

80% of the diet is grains/fruits/veggies with only 20% meat/fish/eggs.

Bravo China, for leading the way to reduce meat consumption by HALF to combat Climate Change.
In comparison, we in Singapore are eating an ave of 90 kg of meat per person per year. (The Global ave meat consumption is 40kg/ person/ year.) We can also reduce our meat consumption by half to help to reduce Climate change.
