[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

People shouldn’t eat more than one portion of red meat and two of poultry per meat, for peak personal and planetary health.

That's one steak and two chicken sandwiches by the way. https://t.co/78u90LqF03

Great to write about our latest study for @ConversationUK. 'Diners more likely to choose vegetarian options when 75% of the menu is meat-free' https://t.co/xQkxEU0PHg

[Beth Parkin @BethLParkin]

Check out our latest paper showing that menus need to be at least 75% #vegetarian to encourage meat-eaters to go #plantbased based. It seems that far more plant-based options are needed to be added to our menus than are currently on offer!

As #COP26 draws closer it is worth reminding that if you are 30 you have been alive for more than 50% of all human fossil fuel emissions!
