US consumers are among the world’s largest red meat eaters, with only 12% avoiding this food group, reveals a national survey. For the minority group, the study also found that environmental concerns may matter more to them than health risks. “People may be more familiar with the environmental benefits of not eating red meat than with the potential health benefits,” affirms lead author Patrycja Sleboda, assistant professor of psychology at Baruch College in New York City.
