A new study conducted in the UK shows that warning labels on meat packages can significantly reduce meat consumption. The study surveyed 1,001 adults and found that when participants were shown warning labels with messages about health, climate change, or pandemics, there was a decrease in meat meal choices by 8.8%, 7.4%, and 10% respectively. This research highlights the potential impact of warning labels on consumer behavior.
Climate cultists are super excited about a new report that purports to show meat consumption drops significantly when warning labels are slapped on packages. Led by Jack Hughes, a postgraduate researcher at Durham University’s psychology department, the study surveyed 1,001 adults in the U.K. Four groups of participants were asked to imagine they were in a university cafeteria and had to choose among four dinner options: meat, fish, vegetarian, and vegan.
In one group, the meat option came with a warning label that read “Eating meat contributes to poor health,” paired with an image of someone having a heart attack. This saw an 8.8% drop in meat meal choices, compared to the control group. Another group was shown the climate warning label with a picture of deforestation—leading to a 7.4% decrease, while the third got a pandemic warning label with an image of exotic meat. This cut meat choices by 10%.According to a recent YouGov poll, 72% of the UK population classify themselves as meat-eater
