Distinguishing meat reducers from unrestricted omnivores, vegetarians and vegans: A comprehensive comparison of Australian consumers

Lenka Malek et al.

Summary: Meat reducers, a growing but understudied subgroup in Australia, exhibit unique meat consumption behaviors, beliefs, and importance placed on egoistic food choice factors. Strong beliefs in the adequacy of meat-free diets and lower importance placed on egoistic food choice factors are predictors of meat reducers compared to unrestricted omnivores. This study provides insight on addressing concerns and motivations of consumers with distinct meat consumption preferences.

Finding flexitarians: Current studies on meat eaters and meat reducers

Hans Dagevos

Summary: Flexitarianism, a diet that involves reducing meat consumption, has gained attention as a potential solution to environmental and health issues. Research indicates the existence of a distinct group of flexitarians, different from both meat lovers and those unwilling to cut down on meat intake. Despite varying levels of meat reduction among flexitarians, questions remain about whether flexitarianism alone can address pressing environmental and health concerns.
