People are used to seeing stark warnings on tobacco products alerting them about the potentially deadly risks to health. Now a study suggests similar labelling on food could help them make wiser choices about not just their health, but the health of the planet.
The research, by academics at Durham University, found that warning labels including a graphic image – similar to those warning of impotence, heart disease or lung cancer on cigarette packets – could reduce selections of meals containing meat by 7-10%.
It is a change that could have a material impact on the future of the planet. According to a recent YouGov poll, 72% of the UK population classify themselves as meat-eaters. But the Climate Change Committee (CCC), which advises the government on its net zero goals, has said the UK needs to slash its meat consumption by 20% by 2030, and 50% by 2050, in order to meet them.
Jesus can you write one comment lol. Obsessed af. So by your own words there is 80% bean left, which we literally eat in the form of tofu for example. Your 50% value is abirtrary af aswell.
We literally farm more soy purely to feed livestock, which is retarded.
Bro even your own damn source with that image says: “But, only a small percentage of global soy is used for these products. More than three-quarters (77%) of soy is used as feed for livestock.”
So no, it’s not waste. It’s most of the goddamn soy.
I’m not replying anymore, this convo is too stupid
no, we don’t. some people eat soycake or soycake products, but very few. tofu is not made from soycake.
no, it’s not. it’s the market value.
i know what my source says, but do you understand what it means?
no, we don’t. we farm soy because it rotates with corn and fixates nutrients. we also put 85% of the beans through an oil press to get the oil. only 7% is given directly to animals.
