Abstract

Dietary choices affect both health and the environment. Few studies, and none in the USA, have examined these links at the individual level, limiting our ability to describe the variation in response to environmentally focused food policies. To address this gap, our study aimed to examine the relation between healthiness and environmental effects of individual diets in the USA.
