The British are eating less red meat and consuming more processed food

Press/Media

Description

Red meat consumption has seen a massive decline since the early 1980s in the UK. But the reasons are not just health and the environment. The increase in household labour supply and ready-meal habits have also contributed to the trend. I look at the long-term trends and, given the negative impacts of processed foods both on health and the environment, calls for more practical guidelines for consumers.
