For National Nutrition Month, registered dietitian nutritionist and cookbook author Maya Feller shared her tips for eating well sustainably, while stressing that access to healthy goods varies for different communities and cultures.
"Some people can get access to affordable nutritious food that's culturally relevant while others can't," she said. "With that said, eating more plants is one way to think about sustainability."
But eating plants need not be boring, she added. "The great thing is that you can have plants in so many forms: Canned, jarred, boxed, frozen dry all work."
However, "what's healthy for me may not be what's healthy for you," she said. "What I usually say to the person who's looking to repair that relationship with food is: what does healthy look like for you, what are the things that you can actually add to your plate on a regular and consistent basis? What are the things that are affordable, accessible, culturally relevant instead of thinking about what to restrict?"
The planet's temperature spiked on Tuesday to its hottest day in at least 44 years and likely much longer, and Wednesday could become the third straight day Earth unofficially marks a record-breaking high, the latest in a series of climate-change extremes that alarm but don't surprise scientists.
The only break much of America can hope for anytime soon from eye-watering dangerous smoke from fire-struck Canada is brief bouts of shirt-soaking sweltering heat and humidity from a southern heat wave that has already proven deadly, forecasters say.
