Younger generations adopting diets that help slow down climate change

GÖTTINGEN, Germany — Finding ways to slow and limit climate change is supported by nearly three in five teens and young adults, according to a recent survey. One of the easiest ways to do this is by following an eco-friendly diet. New research sheds light on the preferential diets of younger generations that may be deliberately chosen to help offset the consequences of climate change.

To explore younger people’s understanding of climate change and their personal food preferences, scientists from Göttingen University surveyed about 1,400 Germans from the ages of 15 to 29. Both their personal goals for the future and the repercussions of those goals were noted when they evaluated comments about global temperatures.

In the study, respondents were classified into three categories, each with a distinct degree of climate knowledge: supporters (57%), undecided (29%), and deniers (14%). As a whole, this shows that more than half of young people are very conscious and concerned about climate change.

Climate-friendly diets are becoming a more accepted lifestyle for young adults. Many of these people are flexitarians (those who consume meat sometimes). Additionally, 17% are now vegetarians. The group that isn’t confident about global warming accepts it, but they haven’t changed their behavior to reflect it. Those who deny the science of global warming or who deny that human activity is to blame for it don’t include this when considering their diets.

Geez. Maybe they should practice 'zero population growth' while they're at it. Note the piece (of crap) is from Gottingen, Germany. Pretty sure the Germans have a history of ecowackoism already. (3rd Reich) More burgers for me.

P.S. The erf don't 'care'.

Not starting wars of global domination (WWI & WWII) would have made a better contribution.

Of course, the commies have figured out it’s better to soften your enemies up, remove their spines and ability to reason first.

"younger people’s understanding of climate change and their personal food preferences"

I would just humor them- (in that talking down to a child kind of tone) "That's right honey...you can save the Planet."

Cheeseburgers made with ground buffalo (bison) with bacon on top. Cooked on a charcoal barbecue grill. Nothing better on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Many of these people are flexitarians (those who consume meat sometimes).

One of the most annoying traits of Gen-Z is their propensity to invent new words to describe perfectly normal behavior. "Cis" being but another example.
