Whole Grain Refined Grain
What is the most underrated sustainable food action? Perhaps it's choosing whole grain. It's not only MUCH healthier but also more sustainable. The Swedish baker Lantmännen explains that milling the whole grain removes the bran and germ (which contain most of the nutrition). That means they only use 75-80% of the original grain. But when they make whole grain flour they use 100% of the grain. The brand and germ are often used as animal feed and labeled as 'by-products'. But really it's a form of food waste. Whole grain bread requiers less flour --> less land --> lower climate impact. As if the climate impact of refined grain isn't bad enough already: a diet low in whole grains causes more premature deaths than traffic accidents, homicides, terrorism, and war COMBINED! Not eating enough whole grains is the biggest cause of diet-related health issues (together with a diet high in salt, followed by not eating enough fruit). Unfortunately, most of our grains (bread, rice, pasta) are refined. The only way to make sure a product is whole-grain is to check the ingredients list on the back and find the word ‘whole-grain’. Ingredients are listed according to the quantity. So for a product like bread, ‘whole-grain’ should be the first word.
