La Trobe University research shows Australians would prefer to embrace many other green options to help the environment before giving up meat and becoming vegetarians.

  • A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.

  • Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.

  • Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people’s reluctance to reduce meat consumption.

    Honestly I wouldn’t consider this a drastic change to life considering how easy it is to do lmao. My best friend/roommate is vegan while I’m a meat eater. Wherenever she’s home at dinner time I’ll cook for both of and make sure it’s something we can both eat so it’s more often than not vegan meals. You know what’s happened since? I’ve just gotten noticeably healthier lmao. I’ll still eat meat on occasion (more often than not poultry), but if I never had it for the rest of my life I honestly wouldn’t mind much.
