LES JEUNES GENERATIONS UK ET USA ARRETENT DE MANGER DE LA VIANDE ET DEMANDENT DU VEGETAL POUR LIBERER LES ANIMAUX ET POUR LA LA PLANETE!!
Never doubt the power of Millennials! As one of the most powerful groups of consumers in the U.S., with nearly 25 percent of the population falling under this segment, Millennials have a trillion dollars in
buying power. And now we have even more proof that Millennials may very
well indeed be the ones to change our planet for the greater good.
In a recent poll
for The Grocer in the UK, “more than four in ten young adults are
worried about eating meat or have cut it out of their diets altogether.”
That’s nearly HALF of young adults! The poll also found
that 38 percent of consumers in the 18-24-year-old age group were
worried about the environmental impact of eating meat. By contrast, only 20 percent of those in the 55+ age group said they had environmental concerns. Interestingly, of the Millennials polled, 38 percent
said they found insect food more environmentally sustainable than meat.
Luckily, you can eat plants and get the same amount of nutrients and
protein as you could choosing crickets, but it is slightly comforting to
know that young people would rather eat bugs than contribute to climate change with their food choices. (But again, please, don’t eat bugs!)
We’re seeing similar trends in the U.S. with around one-third of Americans leaving meat off the menu more frequently. One in 10 Millennials is vegetarian or vegan, and they are at the forefront of driving the American consumer marketplace by demanding more plant-based options. Millennials are increasingly interested in vegan cuisine, and more than 60 percent consume meat alternatives. There is undoubtedly a growing sector of people who are looking for products that are cleaner, healthier, and responsible for less damage to animals and the planet.
