New calls are emerging for meat products to carry cigarette pack-style warnings to guilt consumers into believing that are contributing to “climate change” if they choose to eat the food.
According to new research, adding graphic warnings to meat-based foods had a significant impact on people’s decisions to choose them.
The idea is being promoted by scientists from Durham University in the UK.

They argue that the novel approach will cut meat and dairy consumption.
They claim that the production of meat and dairy products accounts for about one-seventh of global emissions.
The scientists took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups.
The participants were then shown pictures of hot meals tagged with a climate, health, or pandemic warning, or no label.
The participants found the climate warning labels to be the “most credible.”
These labels showed fire-charred landscapes and read: “Warning: Eating meat contributes to climate change.”
“As warning labels have already been shown to reduce smoking as well as drinking of sugary drinks and alcohol, using a warning label on meat-containing products could help us achieve this if introduced as national policy,” said Jack Hughes, the study’s lead author.
These new calls are just the latest push in the war on food.
In 2018, Christiana Figueres, the former United Nations official responsible for the 2015 Paris climate agreement, called for meat to be banned.
Figueres argued that meat eaters should be banished and treated “the same way that smokers are treated.”
