Reducing meat consumption is essential to curb further climate change and limit the catastrophic environmental degradation resulting from current global food system. However, consumers in industrialised countries are hesitant reduce their intake, often because they find plant-based foods less appealing. Despite emergency, eating still perceived as norm, recommended most national dietary guidelines. To support transition more sustainable diets by providing insights for increasing appeal of mainstream consumers, this article reviews recent research findings on how people think communicate about meat-based foods. The key we review include: (1) While vegans terms enjoyable experiences, omnivores health, vegan identity, other abstract information that does not motivate moment. (2) Packages ready-meals social media posts Instagram present with fewer references experiences than (3) Presenting language increases appeal, especially habitual eaters. This includes words sensory features (e.g., crunchy, creamy), context pub; family), immediate positive consequences comforting, delicious). In contrast, term “vegan” strongly associated negative stereotypes. Hence, rather referring being vegan, meat-free, or healthy, used should refer attractive situations, enjoyment.

Research has found an association between the perceived sustainability and healthiness of foods meals individual consumers. The current study aimed to investigate whether on level is rooted in reality. Moreover, we investigated meal or characteristics affect this association. In total, 5021 customers a public canteen rated 29 options. For determining actual environmental scores, exact recipes each were analyzed using NAHGAST algorithm. Results showed substantial at level. However, relation was unrelated overlap scores meals. “healthier = more sustainable” perception other (e.g., vegan content) (i.e., gender, eating style). slightly higher older than younger participants. present shows real-world setting that food consumers seem evaluate based simple “healthy heuristic which largely independent these dimensions. Future research needed shed light nature, sources, consequences heuristic.

Addressing climate change requires significant individual behaviour change, as well deep societal transformations to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has been argued that people with high socio-economic status (SES; i.e., relatively higher levels of wealth, income, and education) have an important part play deliver these changes. This is due not only disproportionate emissions resulting from their carbon-intense consumer lifestyles, but also increased power mitigate via other social roles (e.g., investor, role model, organisational participants, citizen). Therefore, the present study sought understand how individuals perceive opportunities. We recruited 81 SES in UK take online qualitative study. performed reflexive thematic analysis generated 5 main themes; (1) Shifting responsibility others system, (2) Seeing oneself mainly a consumer, (3) Failure recognise within upstream roles, (4) Climate perceived distant threat and, (5) action positive experience. These findings suggest unlock transformative potential can bring mitigation, targeted policy tailored education required.
