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.

    Lol lmao. Everyone who is like “I’d give up meat if only there were more options at restaurants” should immediately give it up except at restaurants where there are no meatless options in order to fulfill their own stated values.

    Of course, my bet is it’s just a rationalisation. Our culture sucks and people are always looking for some reason why doing the bare minimum is unreasonable.
