  1. How to Score the Best Deals on Meat at the Grocery Store

    In a Nutshell Discounted meat isn’t necessarily unsafe—it’s often just closer to its sell-by date or less visually appealing—but knowing how to spot signs of spoilage and choose the right cooking method can h…

  2. Europe’s most climate-friendly supermarket revealed.

    European supermarkets could “make or break” the food system’s climate impact, but experts warn that few chains seem serious about cutting emissions.

    They urge European supermarkets to transition towards plant-rich foods to cut emissions and lower costs.

  3. CW: vegan vs flexitarian: how do we reduce meat consumption on the population level?

    I get your point, but looking at the bigger picture, it gets ... complicated.

    Take Germany, for example. The reduction of meat consumption over several years surpassed any predictions.
    Over 5 years, from 60 kg per year to just over 51 kg. While this is still way too much, this decrease represents thousands of animals that were not tortured and slaughtered. And that is impressive.
    The direct driver of the change was not the vegan population. Sure, their number is growing constantly, but vegans still represent just 1,5 % of the overall population [1].
    Way more important was the trend of flexitarians. If 20 % of the population halves their meat consumption, that's a huge impact in terms of numbers.
    Thus I think that it is not a successful strategy to put pressure on these people that are already on the right path.
    When a critical mass in the population demands vegetarian and vegan dishes, this changes the entire food culture and paves the way for others to become vegan. Understand it as a first step and as a community effort instead of individual responsibility and puritanism.

    Sure, there is always an important role for the pioneers who fought and fight hard and with a lot of stamina to make new room in carnivore-dominant societies.
    But for realpolitik reasons, I see that we need to see the flexitarians as allies, not as enemies to make fun of with memes. (although of course, criticism of hypocrisy is important).

  6. According to research, many men seem to think that the exploitation of animals adds up to their manliness. While it is an absurd and restraining belief, we should take it serious. plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/f #MaleFragility #ToxicMasculinity #fallacy #meatConsumption

  7. In 20 years time, what will we make of this story?

    Shoppers turn noses up at vacuum packets of mince because it looks like a kidney.

    - Won’t give up excessive plastic packaging
    - Want humanity to survive?

  10. A Structured Literature Review of the Meat Paradox

    "Many people wish to avoid harming animals, yet most people also consume meat. This theoretical ‘meat paradox’ is a form of cognitive dissonance and has grave negative consequences for animal welfare and the environment."

  11. @jeroenpraat
    While reducing #meatConsumption to pre-1950's levels is good to strive towards, we have found that reducing #populationGrowth, or reversing it, will help us to reduce emissions.

    Often these discussions devolve into wanting to deny meat to the newly-developed and developing world, due to our #overconsumption.

    We are also weary of #OurWorldInData. We distinctly remember something less honest about them from years ago.
