Vegetables play a big role in the planetary health diet, similarly to vegetarian or vegan diets. Though the planetary health diet leaves some room for meat, eggs and dairy, North Americans on average will need to decrease their beef/pork intake by 84%, egg intake by 63%, chicken intake by 57% and dairy intake by 31% in order to fit the diet according to the EAT-Lancet report. Foods like legumes, fruits and vegetables would be taking the place of the animal products we’d be eating less of.

This is the GPA chart for the Class of 2019 on the Hollis Brookline High School School Profile, which is sent to college admissions readers to give context to the information. This chart can give colleges admissions readers a general idea of where a student’s GPA lies in respect to the rest of their class without pitting students against each other through a reported top ten or complete rank. “It makes students who aren’t in top ten feel less than for their grades” said Tess Crooks ‘19.
