27 Nov 2019 --- Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of 11 to 18-year-olds say the environment and climate change is one of their most important issues for the country. This is according to a new YouGov survey, commissioned by the Eating Better Alliance. The results highlight that environmental concerns are ahead of the UK leaving the EU (54 percent) and healthcare (42 percent). Moreover, 29 percent of meat-eaters surveyed want to reduce their meat consumption, although it seems that they have difficulties doing so, with 84 percent eating meat three times a week or more. The Eating Better Alliance is calling for a 50 percent reduction from current levels of meat and dairy consumption in the UK by 2030 and for a transition to “better” meat and dairy as standard.
