The EAT-Lancet "Planetary Health Diet" (PHD) proposes dietary recommendations to address health and environmental concerns, including reducing meat consumption. However, in Brazil, where meat holds cultural significance, the feasibility of these recommendations is questionable. This study aimed to examine meat consumption across the five Brazilian regions through the lens of the PHD, considering regionalisms and social inequalities. Using data from the 2017-2018 Household Budget Survey (POF), we estimated meat consumption. A multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the association between excessive meat consumption and sociodemographic factors, such as region of the country, sex, per capita income profile, and level of Food and Nutrition Security (FNS). Our results reveal that meat consumption exceeds recommendations in all Brazilian regions. To effectively promote healthier and more sustainable diets, public health interventions must consider regional disparities and the cultural significance of meat. Policies should prioritize food justice and address the underlying social and economic factors that drive meat consumption.
《柳叶刀 - 饮食与健康委员会》的“行星健康饮食”（PHD）提出了饮食建议，以解决健康和环境问题，包括减少肉类消费。然而，在肉类具有文化意义的巴西，这些建议的可行性值得怀疑。本研究旨在从PHD的角度审视巴西五个地区的肉类消费情况，同时考虑地区差异和社会不平等因素。我们利用2017 - 2018年家庭预算调查（POF）的数据估算了肉类消费量。采用多元逻辑回归分析来评估过量肉类消费与社会人口因素之间的关联，这些因素包括国家地区、性别、人均收入状况以及食品和营养安全（FNS）水平。我们的研究结果表明，巴西所有地区的肉类消费量均超过了建议水平。为了有效推广更健康、更可持续的饮食，公共卫生干预措施必须考虑地区差异以及肉类的文化意义。政策应优先考虑食品公平，并解决推动肉类消费的潜在社会和经济因素。
