[Linkpost] “Is it even possible to convince people to stop eating meat?” by Seth Ariel Green 🔸

This is a link post.

Kenny Torrella at Vox has written a nice piece on demand-side interventions to reduce meat consumption, and what we might lose if we focus entirely on producers and politics (supply-side interventions).

The article focuses on the results of a very nice preprint about the effects of watching Dominion (Kramer and Landry 2025) and also covers a meta-analysis I worked on, and previously summarized on the forum.

I am quoted in the article, and I very much believe this:

“I think that persuasion is a beautiful thing where we try to convince people using reason and argument, and take them seriously” as moral agents, he said. “I do not want to give up on this.”
