Meat should be rationed to four portions a week to beat climate change, says Government-funded report

People will have to be rationed to a quarter of a pint of milk a day if the world is to avoid dangerous climate change, according to a new Government funded report.
A study by the Food Climate Network says the average Briton will also need to cut meat consumption to four small portions a week by 2050 - and dramatically reduce their alcohol, sweets and chocolate intake.
Although scientists and environmentalists have called for a cut in meat and dairy consumption before, the latest report - prepared by researchers at the University of Surrey - goes much further.
Cattle, sheep and pig farming produces around eight per cent of all Britain's greenhouse gas emissions. Most is in the form of methane - from belching livestock - or nitrous oxide from the soil used to grow feed.
The report says Britons will need to cut their meat and dairy consumption by a quarter if emissions are to remain stable.
"This is approximately the average level of consumption of people in the developing world today and amounts to half a kilo of meat and a litre of milk per person a week," the report says.
