Plant-based nutrition

Katz is an advocate of diets that are "plant-predominant" such as vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian and the Mediterranean diet.[4][5][15] He has stated that the "best diets for human health are plant-predominant, whole food plant, predominant, so all of us should be eating plenty of plant foods".[4] Katz has noted that it is long established that improving diet quality can reduce the risk of chronic disease and premature death.[16]

Katz is not a vegan in his personal life but says he eats plant-based most of the time and gave up eating red meat for ethical and environmental reasons.[4] He has commented that "a good vegan diet is not the only option for health promotion, but it is among the best".[17] He has lectured on plant-based nutrition at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and for Plant-Based Health Professionals UK.[18][19]

His book How to Eat: All Your Food and Diet Questions Answered, co-authored with

food journalist Mark Bittman, was published in 2020.[20] It promotes a plant-predominant diet.[20]

Katz wrote a foreword to Sharon Palmer's book The Plant-Powered Diet.[21]
