Which would soon be expanded to regular restaurants. The cult keeps culting
Labels warning you a fast food burger is bad for your health should be joined by one alerting you that your choice is killing the planet as well, scientists say.
A group of American researchers trialled climate change warnings on a fast food menu and found they encouraged people to make more sustainable dietary choices.
Showing participants a red environmental impact stamp on beef items led to almost a quarter more people shying away from them, compared to those who didn’t see the warning.
Environmental guilt was more effective than a green ‘good for the planet’ label, which only encouraged a tenth more people to choose a more sustainable meal.
Piss off. How about putting the warning labels on all the ‘climate change’ conferences?
In their study, published in JAMA Network Open, they argue such a system could have merits because animal-based food production, mostly through beef, accounts for 14.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
To test how effective this would be, they enrolled just over 5,000 people in an experiment, with participants put into three groups and shown a fast food menu.
It’s cute and all, but, in a real life situation, would it truly work? Would people who just want to get their damned lunch care that much? And, really, can’t these people just piss off and mind their own business?
