A glamorous billionaire who jets around the world in her £20 million private plane has been dubbed a hypocrite for funding a report which says people must only eat a quarter of a rasher of bacon a day.

Gunhild Stordalen, who funds a campaign to save the planet by drastically cutting meat consumption, has been slammed by critics who point out her globetrotting adventures increase air traffic pollution - a major driver of global warming.

The Norwegian Model-turned-doctor, 40, bankrolled the EAT-Lancet study which controversially unveiled daily quotas such as no more than a 2p-sized beef burgers and a quarter of a chicken breast.

Scientists say the adoption of a 'planetary health diet' is vital to feed the world's booming population without destroying the environment

Christopher Snowdon – the head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs – told the Mirror: 'The hypocrisy of this is breathtaking.

'This is a campaign telling ordinary people they should be eating less than half a rasher of bacon per day for the sake of the environment, while the patron is flying people around the world in private jets creating one enormous carbon footprint.

'This is a classic case of do as I say not as I do. Militant environmentalists can't resist the chance to tell people how to live their lives and demonise everyday items of food. It's a shame they don't hold their financiers to the same standards.'

The radical plan would mean people eating just 7g of pork a day, 7g of beef or lamb and 28g of fish – the equivalent of a quarter of a rasher of bacon, a 16th of a burger and two-thirds of a fish finger

Experts say this would prevent around 11million early deaths by 2050 by slashing obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes
