Differential responses to ethical vegetarian appeals: Exploring the role of traits, beliefs, and motives

Luke D. Smillie et al.

Summary: This research explores how individuals' personalities contribute to their responses to ethical vegetarian appeals. The study finds that individuals may vary in their receptivity to such appeals based on their traits, beliefs, and motives. Specifically, there are differences in how individuals respond to appeals focused on animal welfare. These findings have important implications for behavior change efforts.

Going veggie: Identifying and overcoming the social and psychological barriers to veganism

Christopher J. Bryant et al.

Summary: This paper uses the transtheoretical model of change to conceptualize the journey towards ethical veganism, exploring the psychological barriers at each stage and discussing ways to overcome them. The authors argue that cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias play a significant role in meat-eaters' reluctance to acknowledge the cruelty of animal farming. They also highlight the influence of societal norms and media catering to meat-eating audiences. Habits and willpower are additional barriers to acting on vegan beliefs. The authors situate these biases within the stages of the transtheoretical model and discuss the implications for animal advocates and further research.

Are We Approaching Peak Meat Consumption? Analysis of Meat Consumption from 2000 to 2019 in 35 Countries and Its Relationship to Gross Domestic Product

Clare Whitton et al.

Summary: The study found that while some countries have reached peak meat consumption, many emerging economies are still increasing consumption due to greater affordability. There is a direct link between GDP per capita and meat consumption in emerging economies, but no relationship in higher income countries. Future trends in meat consumption will be shaped by growing prosperity, disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and consumer preferences.

The global and regional costs of healthy and sustainable dietary patterns: a modelling study

Marco Springmann et al.

Summary: This study estimated the costs of healthy and sustainable diets worldwide, finding that these diet patterns could be up to 22-34% lower in cost in high-income countries compared to current diets, but at least 18-29% more expensive in low-income countries. By reducing food waste, fostering favorable socioeconomic development scenarios, and fully accounting for diet-related costs, the affordability of these dietary patterns can be improved in future projections.

A cross cultural meat paradox: A qualitative study of Australia and India

Tani Khara et al.

Summary: The meat paradox refers to the conflict between enjoying meat and feeling morally uncomfortable about animal suffering. Research on this phenomenon has mainly focused on Western countries, with limited knowledge on how it is experienced in emerging economies like India. A qualitative comparison between urban Australia and India revealed differences in strategies to reduce cognitive dissonance, shaped by socio-cultural and institutional factors. Australian participants learned about ethical challenges of meat consumption through media, while Indian participants had direct exposure to animal slaughter. The study also highlighted instances of moral hypocrisy in both countries, related to dietary practices and cultural norms.
