Ecological impact and metabolic food waste of overweight and obese adults in Northern European and Mediterranean countries

The present study highlights the harmful role of the overeating as on human health as on the resource exploitations of the Earth. In particular, both MC and NEC showed similar alarming data about overeating and, consequently, negative impact on EBF and ecological footprints, suggesting that residence in countries close or far from Mediterranean basin is not a proxy of adherence to healthy dietary patterns. For this reason, informative campaigns should be developed to improve the knowledge on conscious dietary choices for human and planet healthiness.
