Adding warning labels to meat about its impact on climate and health could lower its consumption, a new study suggests.
“Reaching net zero is a priority for the nation and the planet. As warning labels have already been shown to reduce, using a warning label on meat-containing products could help us achieve this if introduced as national policy,” said study author Jack Hughes.
Hughes conducted the research with his supervisors as part of his PhD program in the department of psychology at Durham University, in the United Kingdom. The study included a representative sample of just over 1,000 meat-eating adults who were split into four groups. They were shown pictures of hot meals a person might get at a cafeteria that contained a health warning label, climate warning label, pandemic warning label, or no label.The researchers measured future intentions to buy and eat the meal options, as well as how appealing the meals appeared.
"Adding warning labels to meat products could be one way to reduce these risks to health and the environment,” Vasiljevic said in a university news release.SOURCE: Durham University, news release, Nov. 1, 2023Grapefruit, hot peppers, vinegar, and more appear on WebMD's list of fat-fighting foods -- along with surprising facts about how they may work.
