Let them have dogs

"Forty-eight percent of Australian households own dogs; to those of us on the outlay for food, treats, toys, grooming, kennels, vets and puppy school, $500 seems like a rare bargain."

"Australians have always been pet people, but we are now living in the wake of a post-pandemic pet proliferation that between 2019 and 2021 raised the proportion of Australian households with pets from 61% to a goggling 69%, marking the largest increase in decades."

A gutful of crispy processed foods, pesticides and microplastics

In every eatery/cafe on the mid north coast of NSW one can observe the ritualistic consumption of the popular American sandwich, the BLT or any other dish with bacon. Customers devour the processed food and consistently leave the vegetable 'decoration' behind. A diet of ultra-processed foods, pesticides (banned elsewhere) and microplastics might contributing to the increase in early-onset bowel cancer.

Australia’s bowel cancer rates are world’s highest for under-50s.

For the love of god, I know you mean well by pointing out the horrible situation, but please could you use better examples than, literally, red #meat ?

This stuff is so bad from a #climatechange perspective!!! Please could you talk about lettuce? Carrots? Beans? Potatoes? Onions? Garlic? Anything but validating some god-given right that Americans have when it comes to beef consumption? Please?

Meat taxes remain unpopular in Europe. European meat eaters are more receptive to removing subsidies for meat when it is framed in terms of fairness and environmental impact. Read the study: doi.org/10.1186/s40100-025-003 #meat #environment

SpringerOpenAcceptability of meat tax and subsidy removal by meat eaters: insights from five European countries - Agricultural and Food EconomicsGovernments worldwide are exploring policies aimed at promoting healthier and more sustainable dietary choices. This study examines the public acceptability of two promising yet controversial policy interventions: the introduction of a meat tax and the removal of meat subsidies. Drawing on existing literature about the impact of policies on food consumption, particularly meat, we analyse data from a multi-country survey conducted across five European countries. We employ ordered logistic models and latent cluster analysis to examine factors influencing respondents’ support for these policies. Our findings highlight the role of value-based, diet-related, and socio-demographic factors. Notably, respondents from Spain, Portugal, and the UK showed significantly greater support for these meat policies compared to Latvians and Czechs. Age emerged as a key factor, indicating an increasing likelihood of support for both policies among younger individuals. Moreover, environmental and egoistic values were associated with increased odds of support, while security concerns and hedonic values had the opposite effect. Neither income nor employment emerged as significant predictors. Our study underscores the complexity of public opinions towards meat policies and provides valuable insights for policymakers seeking to design effective strategies to promote healthier and more sustainable dietary behaviours in Europe.
