Climate labels similar to cigarette packet warnings could cut meat consumption – new research

 

The text discusses the possibility of using warning labels on meat products to reduce meat consumption. According to a study, graphic warning labels that describe the consequences of eating meat reduced the selection of meat meals by 7%-10%. The labels could highlight health risks such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cancer. They could also warn about the environmental impact and pandemic risks associated with meat production. In a study, it was found that warning labels about climate change had a greater impact on meal choices than labels about health and pandemics. Although more research is needed, this approach could be effective and acceptable to the public. https://theconversation.com/climate-labels-similar-to-cigarette-packet-warnings-could-cut-meat-consumption-new-research-215966?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Imagine%20107&utm_content=Imagine%20107+CID_a0301b18d372cef0401550ab865b23f6&utm_source=campaign_monitor_uk&utm_term=Climate%20labels%20similar%20to%20cigarette%20packet%20warnings%20could%20cut%20meat%20consumption%20%20new%20research
