Ben Stevenson comments on Critique of the notion that impact follows a power-law distribution

[Ben Stevenson]

the core message—some interventions are magnitudes more promising than others—was retained and even extended to other domains: from education, social programmes, and CO2 emissions reductions policies to efforts to change habits of meat consumption and voter turnout (Todd 2023)

Could you point me to the discussion of meat consumption in this source? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!

Yikes, I linked to the wrong Todd article there, apologies! Meat consumption is mentioned in Todd 2021(2023):

We’ve basically found this pattern wherever data is available.

• Other global health datasets, such as WHO-CHOICE and the DCP3

• Public health in rich countries

• Education interventions in developing countries

• Ways to alter meat consumption to reduce animal suffering

• Policies to reduce CO2 emissions

I’ll add the source to that part of the essay, thanks for the alert!
