“…For people in Western countries, there are many viable alternatives such as meat replacers or vegetarian food items that they can use to prepare their meals (McGee, 2004;Sadler, 2004). This may be especially attractive to individuals who care about nature and take climate change seriously, but who face significant barriers when they want to integrate their activities within their core values (Gifford, 2011;Whitmarsh, 2009;Whitmarsh & O'Neill, 2010;Wolf & Moser, 2011).…”

This paper addresses the relationship between meat eating and climate change focusing on motivational explanations of environmentally-relevant consumer behavior. Based on a sample of 1,083 Dutch consumers, it examines their responses to the idea that they can make a big difference to nature and climate protection by choosing one or more meals without meat every week. This idea can be seen as a new opportunity to help mitigation, but also as a counterproductive message that might trigger negative responses among consumers who are skeptical about climate change. As hypothesized, the meat-free meal idea was received more positively by consumers who valued care for nature and more negatively by those who did not value it. Also as hypothesized, the meat-free meal idea was received more negatively by consumers who were skeptical about the seriousness of climate change. The idea was not received more positively by those who did take it seriously. The results support the notion that the meat-free meal idea may serve as a counterproductive message. From the perspective of motivation, it is preferable not to isolate the meat-climate issue but to develop an approach that combines multiple values regarding food choices, including health and nature-related values. Highlights Presents consumers' view on the links between agriculture and climate change. Consumers were asked about meat eating, valuing nature and climate change. Valuing care for nature was associated with being low on meat consumption. Skepticism about climate change was not conducive to a change in meat eating. It might be better to combine the meat-free meal idea with multiple values. 3Climate change and meat eating: An inconvenient couple?

“…Alonso et al (2006) demonstrated an inverse association between nut consumption and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CHD) in various studies. Thus, incorporating nuts as a source of dietary fiber into meat/meat products would yield a low fat meat product also improving its functionality such as cholesterol lowering properties (Halsted 2003;Sadler 2004). Rye bran, which was reported to inhibit breast and colon tumor growth in animal models, to lower glucose response in diabetics, and to lower the risk of death from coronary heart disease.…”

“…An explanation for the lack of a success of meat substitutes is, among other things, a lower sensory quality (Elzerman, 2006;Hoek et al, submitted for publication;McIlveen, Abraham, & Armstrong, 1999;Sadler, 2004) due to current technological constraints to mimic a meat-like taste and texture. An option is to develop radically new meat substitutes, so called Novel Protein Foods, which are not necessarily meat-like (Aiking et al, 2006;Jongen & Meerdink, 2001).…”
