Scientists say gruesome cigarette-style warnings on MEAT could be used to shame buyers

 More 'Save the Planet bollocks from the Science wankers.

We have become desensitised to seeing the shocking images of black lungs and rotting teeth cigarette packets,  they were intended designed to put smokers off the unhealthy habit but in fact it is punitive taxes that reduced the prevelance of tobacco smoking in European aduts.

Even though the scare tactics were not 100% effective they did enough to encourage those control freaks we must call scientists, to suggest that that slapping similar stickers on packs of meat in supermarkets could help to shame buyers into accepting a diet of mashed bugs and plant based gunge like Quorn and Tofu.

The stickers being proposed could include images of animals looking scared, accompanied by messages such as: 'Animals suffer when you eat meat.' They could also include images of decimated forests with the words: 'The Amazon rainforest is destroyed when you eat meat.' A study from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, where, as we reported last year, the authoritarian government is proposing to force many of the nation's farmers out of business in order to meet the EU's insane targets for reducing industrial emissions, found that consumers were less inclined to buy products featuring the labels.

'Meat-shaming messages trigger shame but also other negative emotions that translate into reduced purchase intentions,' the authors wrote. 

The question is will consumers buy plant based meat substitutes instead or will they simply find a traditional butcher who will serve their meat and meat products in a plain plastic wrapper?

The anti - meat activists scientists involved in the research say stickers could include sad images of animals, accompanied by messages such as 'animals suffer when you eat meat', or images of decimated forests reading, 'the Amazon rainforest is destroyed when you eat meat' 

A study from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands found that consumers were less inclined to buy products featuring the labels.

'Meat-shaming messages trigger shame but also other negative emotions that translate into reduced purchase intentions,' the authors wrote.

The stickers could include images of animals, accompanied by messages such as 'animals suffer when you eat meat', or images of decimated forests reading, 'the Amazon rainforest is destroyed when you eat meat' 

The research team carried out three experiments using 'meat-shaming messages' to try to make consumers 'experience negative emotions and ultimately change their behaviour'.

The first experiment involved showing 161 volunteers one of two images of a packet of chicken breasts, one of which had a warning sticker.

This sticker had a photo of two battery chickens behind the bars of a cage, accompanied by the message 'eating meat makes animals suffer'.

Participants were then asked how likely they would be to buy the product, their emotional response, whether it would impact their future buying habits and how often they ate meat.

The results revealed that the warning label made consumers less inclined to purchase the chicken breasts, and even motivated them to eat less meat in the future.

In the second study, 483 volunteers were again shown packets of meat with one of six different meat-shaming labels.

Again, each had an image and message -two related to animal welfare, two related to environmental damage and two health-related.

One of each was accompanied by a 'personal' message - for example, 'By eating meat, you destroy the Amazon rainforest!' - while the other one had an 'informational' one - like 'Eating meat destroys the Amazon rainforest!'

One wonders how randomly the people selected for these very small samples were selected. It is surely the case that people not in any way sympathetic to vegan or green politics would be aware of the tactics these highly politicised campaigners use, and we also know after the fisascos of COVID and global warming that the words 'scientific' and 'integrity' should never appear next to each other.

'Our analyses show that adding a sticker to a meat package, warning potential customers about the negative consequences of their purchase, may be an effective way to influence buyers' behavior.'

For their study, published in Food Quality and Preference, researchers wanted to see if a 'confrontational approach' would have any impact on meat buying habits.

Another way of looking at this article of course is to say that it is an admission by the WHO that cigarette smoking does not cause cancer, which while true is a dangerous thing to say because after non stop anti - tobacco propaganda for the past fifty years, such a statement would be open to being interpreted as meaning cigarette smoking does no harm.

Roald Dahl Rewritten By Woke Censors

 

The kerfuffle this week triggered by a 'woke' publisher's decision to censor the works of children's author Roald Dahl, whose titles, including Matilda, The Witches, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, James and The Giant Peach and The Twits along with many others have been loved by children since the 1950s.

By removng many words which the 'woke' brigade consider 'insensitive' but are often important for their onomatopoeic value, the humourless, killjoy censors have also spoiled many passages which, as well as being funny in a childish way, also help young minds develop a love of language. 

Worse, in future there will be a patronising and moralistic message at the foot of the title page, which reads: “Words matter. The wonderful words of Roald Dahl can transport you to different worlds and introduce you to the most marvellous characters. This book was written many years ago, and so we regularly review the language to ensure that it can continue to be enjoyed by all today.”

Put simply this is telling readers or their parents, This is not the book that Roald  Dahl wrote.
 We, the woke elite' have decided that you, dear readers, are not intelligent enough to read the story as the author intended it to be read, so we have relocated it to a world where nobody is fat or ugly or skinny, stupid, dirty or poor and there are no men and boys or women and girls as the use of those words might offend fat and skinny, ugly, stupid, dirty, poor transexuals and non binary pansexuals.

In doing this the publishers have given themselves licence to edit any writer as they see fit, chopping, altering and adding where necessary to bring books in line with contemporary social and political sensibilities or, more likely, to ensure nothing is published that might prompt readers to question the narratives of the 'woke' agenda promoted by globalists.  Comparisons of the latest editions with earlier versions of the texts has identified hundreds of changes to Dahl’s stories.

Language related to weight, mental health, violence, gender and race has been cut and rewritten. The fat boy in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is no longer fat but enormous despite the fact that his name, Gloop, suggests rolls of gloopy fat wobbling around when he moves. Remember the Cloud-Men in James and the Giant Peach? They are now the non binary Cloud-People. The Small Foxes in Fantastic Mr Fox are now female. In Matilda, a mention of Rudyard Kipling has been cut and Jane Austen added although while children could be familiar with The Jungle Book they are likely to be at least a decade away from wanting to read Pride and Prejudice.

Dahl, who died in 1990, has consistently been one of the most successful children’s authors of all time with  more than 250 million copies of his books, which include novels such as The Witches, The Twits and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as his memoirs Boy and Going Solo sold worldwide. His stories are characterised by dark humour and unexpected twistlt so with an enormous sense of fun and the suggestion, loved by all children, that its OK to be outrageous in ways that their teachers would disapprove of.
