Food has an outsized impact on greenhouse gas emissions. In this episode of Climate Conversations, Jack Board and Liling Tan tuck into the world of alternative foods and whether they really are better for the environment.
Jack Board on why he hasn't tried plant-based meats:
I don't like the idea of vegetables pretending to be meat. If I want meat, I'll eat meat. If I want vegetables, then just let's have them in their unprocessed form.
Liling Tan on why nudge theory may work in getting people to try plant-based foods:
If plant-based foods are on the menu or if they're being served at these functions or corporate events, I would try it out ... if I'm hungry enough I'd eat anything.
