To Meat, or Not to Meat: A Longitudinal Investigation of Transitioning to and from Plant-Based Diets
An article by Taciano L. Milfont, Nicole Satherley, Danny Osborne, Marc S. Wilson, and Chris G. Sibley, “To Meat, or Not to Meat: A Longitudinal Investigation of Transitioning to and from Plant-Based Diets,” examines trends in transitions to plant-based diets. The study concludes that “higher levels of conservative ideologies (i.e., political conservatism, Right-Wing Authoritarianism, and Social Dominance Orientation), lower subjective health, lower environmental efficacy, and lower disgust sensitivity predicted having an omnivore (vs. vegetarian or vegan) diet” and that “gender (men) and political conservatism predicted lower probabilities of transitioning from meat to no-meat diets over time.”
