Consumers not Looking to Reduce Meat Intake: Purdue Research
hile consumers are spending significantly more for food than they did last year, the desire to cut back on meat intake has not increased, according to a new survey conducted by Purdue University. The second annual Consumer Food Insight Report, released by the university’s Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability, found that on average, food prices have risen about 19 percent from a year ago. However, meat purchases have not fallen in kind. “People are generally knowledgeable about the actions needed to improve health and want to pursue them,” Purdue agricultural economics professor Jayson Lusk wrote in a statement about the report. “However, they don’t necessarily want to give up on taste and indulgences.
