As can be seen in the pie chart, these products also have the greatest impact on the greenhouse gas emissions of an average European diet (the situation is almost the same in the Netherlands, except for a slightly higher percentage of dairy products). This while our diet does not consist for the largest part out of animal products: We eat more bread, vegetables and fruit than meat products (in kg) on \u200b\u200baverage, as can be read on the RIVM site wateetNederland.nl. <Span style = \"font-size: 16px;\"> <\/span> <\/ p><\/p>\n<p> <span style = \"font-size: 16px;\"> Reducing your CO2 impact can is therefore easiest done by lowering your intake of animal products and replacing them with products with a lower impact.
