The Meat Lobby’s Outsized Influence is Undermining Climate Action
It's not working and they have cause for concern. Mean consumption is on a downward trend
Unfortunately, I don't think that's true. Here's some US data I found with one quick search.
To add to that, as underdeveloped areas become more modern and income levels increase, it tends to follow that meat consumption increases along with it.
I would be very happy to be proven wrong on this.
which is why they are spending so much. it's a good sign in some ways.
I love eating beef and whatnot, but my body seems to respond better to eating less of that in a given sitting. As someone growing up in the 80s, it seemed like that diet should be a 50/50 mix of beef and spinach...
I think they are going to have a hard time convincing people to feel crummier... it's much healthier and cheaper to stick to that old "pack of playing card portion"
Mean consumption is on a downward trend
can you show me some evidence of this?
I would love to see this too!!
Like... No shit?
Meat industry makes tons of money.
Activist groups and scientists don't.
How are the poor supposed to spend more than the mega rich on anything?
Save the animals, eat the rich.
Go vegan!
can you give me a compelling reason?
It is the largest positive impact a single person can have on the environment. Kurzgesagt video with the analysis.
As a vegetarian for decades, it's also cheaper, often healthier, and isn't difficult at all once you find some new recipes you like. You also don't need to switch all at once. Ease into it by cooking one vegetarian meal a week and then increase it as you find ones you like.
They're the only one of these groups that's selling something. That probably helps.
For anyone interested in supporting those going up against the meat lobby, look into the Agriculture Fairness Aliance
There are 5 companies that own meat producing in the US, which is the real problem.
They don't need to spend money to convince people that meat is delicious - I wonder what all that money goes to.
The Meat Lobby would a good band name.
As far as I'm concerned they're preaching to the choir.
Anyone have a look behind the paywall?
