Default Motivations for avoiding meat

I found this kind of interesting:

Quote:
Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians are motivated to adopt (or to consider adopting) a plant-based diet for health reasons. However, vegetarians are more strongly motivated to pursue a plant-based diet for animal rights and environmental reasons than non-vegetarians. These findings come from a study published in the journal Collabra: Psychology.


What struck me, of course, was the fact that the motivations of health, animal rights, and environmental reasons... are all wrong.

Health usually suffers without at least dairy, fish, or eggs. Animal rights are being ignored while the chirpy people at the health food store just wait for everyone to go vegan. And environmentally, monoculture with land clearance and pesticide/herbicide use is NOT a recipe for anything but disaster.

Quote:
For example, it would be interesting to consider to what extent health motivations actually push people to adopt a plant-based diet, given that both vegetarians and non-vegetarians embraced this motive. “Questions remain open as to why many people who acknowledge the health benefits of vegetarian diets continue to eat meat, and why people who become vegetarian for health reasons tend not to stick to the diet…” Hopwood and team discuss.

Vegetarians and non-vegetarians embrace different motives for adopting a plant-based diet


My italics. I guess some of us still have survival instincts
