Adding graphic, cigarette pack-style warnings to meat-based meals had a significant impact on people’s decisions to choose them, according to new research.
Scientists from Durham University in the UK came up with the novel approach to cutting meat consumption which, alongside dairy, accounts for about one-seventh of global emissions.
Industrial farming is not only playing a significant role in the climate crisis but is also responsible for forest loss and biodiversity decline.
The scientists took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups. The participants were then shown pictures of hot meals tagged with a climate, health or pandemic warning, or no label. All labels had an impact, and caused the meat-eaters to choose a veggie option 7-10 per cent of the time.
The participants found the climate warning labels to be the “most credible”. These labels showed fire-charred landscapes and read: “Warning: Eating meat contributes to climate change.”
One of the cigarette pack-style warning labels suggested for meat-based meals
Cigarette packs around the world now show images of premature babies, patients with tracheostomies, and people using breathing apparatus.
Nearly three-quarters of the UK population eats meat. The Climate Change Committee, which advises the UK government, says Brits need to cut their meat and dairy consumption by 20 per cent if the country is to remain on track for its climate goals.
“As warning labels have already been shown to reduce smoking as well as drinking of sugary drinks and alcohol, using a warning label on meat-containing products could help us achieve this if introduced as national policy,” said Jack Hughes, the study’s lead author.

Based on the delusional belief that meat consumption is killing the planet, climate cultists are now demanding cigarette-style climate warnings on meat products, to prevent people from eating meat.
Will you stop eating meat "to save the planet"?

Flashback: Former UN Climate Chief: Meat eaters should be banished, treated ‘the same way that smokers are treated” – “How about restaurants in 10-15 years start treating carnivores the same way that smokers are treated?” Figueres suggested during a recent conference. “If they want to eat meat, they can do it outside the restaurant.”
NYU Bioethicist Prof. Liao on Eating meat: Seeks to ‘Make ourselves allergic to those proteins…unpleasant reaction…The way we can do that is to create some sort of meat patch’ – ‘Kind of like a nicotine patch where you put it on before you go to dinner go out to a restaurant and this will curb your enthusiasm for eating meat’.
Flashback: Watch: NYT Bioethicist Matthew Liao: In order to tackle “climate change”, humans should be genetically modified to be intolerant to meat. “If we eat less meat, we could significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Now, some people would be willing to eat less meat, but they lack the willpower. Human engineering could help… We could artificially induce intolerance to meat, and in this way, we can create an aversion to eating eco unfriendly food.” Source: youtu.be/AcaKMu7I6vU
