In Summary
* This is the third of three notes looking at the October 2025 Planetary Health Diet (PHD) publication (Ref 1). The first note reviewed the many nutritional deficiencies in the recommended diet. The second note looked at the finding that the diet was set “solely in light of health recommendations” and not for climate reasons, but that, notwithstanding this, the document was very anti-meat and anti-ruminant in the name of both health and climate. This note looks at the PHD in a global context.
* The October 2025 report specifically mentioned (three times) the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Most people don’t know what these goals, agreements and frameworks are, let alone the impact that they are having on us.
* Such global initiatives are taking place above elected governments, by unelected people and organisations.
* This note briefly looks at The Great Reset, the Sustainable Development Goals and the C40 Initiative a) to make you aware of these, if you aren’t already and b) to flag some concerns as to how these are being used to drive forward a plant-based diet agenda and c) to put the PHD in a bigger context.
Introduction
This ended up being a trilogy (Ref 2). This wasn’t planned from the outset. I wanted to review the nutritional deficiencies in the revised Planetary Health Diet, but the fact that these had not been addressed made me wonder if this was due to ignorance or malfeasance. Further reflection and review of the revised report got me thinking about the clear agenda in the report and the realisation that it did not try to hide the much bigger agenda.
Last week we looked at the anti-meat and anti-ruminant agenda. Thanks to Professor Frank Mitloehner, we know that The Planetary Diet was set “solely in light of health recommendations” (Ref 3):
