    Interesting new review discusses why there is policy inertia around reducing red/processed meat. It highlights that research on policy efforts to reduce red/processed meat production & consumption should incorporate the role of power/political feasibility. https://t.co/pI6FLUSUD3

Abstract Synopsis

  • The article discusses the significant environmental and health impacts of high consumption of red and processed meat (RPM), highlighting global calls for reducing meat intake, especially in wealthier countries.
  • It examines the complex political challenges of reducing RPM consumption, emphasizing the influence of powerful industry actors, government policies, cultural preferences, and prevailing ideologies like carnism and neoliberalism that resist change.
  • Using a theoretical framework, the review explores how different actors—businesses, governments, civil society—use various means of power, such as lobbying and shaping knowledge, to maintain high levels of RPM production and consumption despite calls for reduction.
