Thanks for sharing your piece and for citing our new study. There are many existing courses and programs to support people going veg*n so my feeling is that there isn’t much additional mileage to be gained there by creating another one, but I don’t know of any testing about paying people. It’s a nice parallel to pay-per-view and pay-per-read advocacy. Worth testing, in my opinion, but I agree with the point about people who need it most not being the ones who would sign up. Another approach could be to focus specifically on the people who in our study had ability barriers (lack of access), where individual strategies weren’t helpful. If you provided money for them to get veg food delivery, that would address some of those systemic barriers.
Thank you for joining the conversation Jo. Faunalytics is as far as I know one of the best sources of information regarding this subject.
I agree that the main point is to open the eyes of those that previously were interested in PB eating. Probably “Peter” and his family who are dead set meat eaters wouldn’t be interested in free classes about plant based eating since they would see no benefits to it. Hence the idea for monetary rewards.
I agree that there’s probably no inherent value in creating another program for the sake of creating another program. What I’m hoping is to place efforts where they can make the most positive impact. I’d love to know from your perspective, using all your experience in the area- which program(s) do you think have the best effect of transitioning and retaining meat eaters to eat as much plants as possible instead?
