  • Meat Consumption and Potential Reduction for Environmental and Public Health Benefits

    Meat Consumption and Potential Reduction for Environmental and Public Health Benefits

    MEAT CONSUMPTION AND POTENTIAL REDUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS by GARRETT LENTZ A thesis submitted to the University of Otago in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography June 2019 Abstract The focus of this thesis was to better understand meat consumption and investigate how a shift to more plant-based diets may best be promoted. The various environmental impacts linked to animal agriculture were explored and a movement towards more plant-based diets was found as a solution that could alleviate environmental impacts, along with the added benefit of improving public health and helping to safeguard future food security. Shifting a behaviour that is as prevalent as meat consumption is no easy task however, as high rates of meat intake have become normalised in many developed nations, being influenced not only by the desires of individual actors’, but also structures within society that encourage continued production and consumption. Potential economic, regulatory, and informational measures to encourage meat reduction were explored and after weighing multiple factors, the potential for information provision to shift consumer meat intake held promise. However, before further inquiry into potential information provision measures, it was advisable to first obtain a more thorough understanding of consumers’ meat consumption within the relatively understudied nation of New Zealand. Thus, the first study of the thesis sought to better understand New Zealand consumers’ meat intake through the distribution of a nationwide questionnaire. Awareness of meat’s environmental impacts was determined to be low and the most common motivations for reducing meat were considerations of cost and health.

  • An Audience Research on the Documentary What the Health

    An Audience Research on the Documentary What the Health

    To believe or not to believe? An audience research on the documentary What The Health Trang Nguyen Ha Linh May 2020 Msc Media and Communication Lund University Supervisor: Tobias Linné Examiner: Gustav Persson 1 ABSTRACT This research employs qualitative methods to look at the audience site of veganism documentary What The Health. Through semi-structured interviews with 13 participants (6 non-vegetarians and 7 vegetarians), the thesis attempts to understand the self and individual response to veganism portrayal, truth claims and how viewers learn from the documentary. Exploring audiences’ media practices enables researchers to understand diverse strategies that audiences use to engage with and reflect on the changing nature of contemporary media (Hill 2005 and Hill 2007), especially with factual genre like documentary which occupies “an intermediate space” between fact and fiction (Hill 2007, p. 89) and goes through a reformation in the new media environment with the support from digital technology, platforms and infrastructures (Nash et al. 2014). The research is theoretically informed by the concept of spectrum of engagement (Annette Hill), double mode of engagement (Annette Hill) and genre work (Annette Hill). The findings illustrate that audiences have multiple modes of engagement with the documentary and what they learn from the film is diverse. In terms of truth claims, they employ many different criteria to evaluate including performances, authenticity and even the context of the documentary. As documentary audiences, they are well-aware of the idea of “the two worlds”. Their engagement affirms the arguments from Hill (2008), Corner (2005), Nichols (2001) and Lewis (2004) that audiences expect the documentary to show them reality.

AFRICAN AMERICAN VEGAN STARTER GUIDE Welcome I’m Tracye McQuirter, public health nutritionist, author and vegan for 30 years, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the African American Vegan Starter Guide, where we show you sim- ple ways to begin a plant-based lifestyle. So if you’ve been thinking about going vegan, congratulations! It can be one of the most life-changing decisions you’ll ever make. And in this guide, we’ll help you get there. I’m joined by some of my expert colleagues in the plant-based field to answer your most common questions about how to transition to vegan food. With everything from why to do it, what to eat, how to get all the nutrients you need, how to make it affordable and delicious, how to eat out and socialize as a vegan, and how to raise vegan children—we’ve got you covered. We know going vegan can seem challenging, but don’t worry. We’ve been there. In fact, in my case, I never thought I’d be a vegan. Growing up, I actually hated healthy food, especially vegetables. In 7th grade, I even wrote a petition against two of my teachers who wanted to make our class camping trip all-vegetarian. (I was overruled.) So what changed for me? During my sophomore year at Amherst College, our Black Student Union brought legendary civil rights activist and comedian Dick Gregory to campus to talk about the state of black America.

    Animals and Religion

    Course outline for RLG 227H1S, Religion and Animals Department for the Study of Religion, University of Toronto Instructor: Paul York Course description This course examines animals in myths, legends, parables, and how animals figure into religious and cultural identities. It also examines the intersection of religious cosmologies, mythology, religious art, religious imagination, animal ethics, and environmental problems. The topic of religion and animals is a growing field of religious studies. Animals appear in numerous myths, legends and parables, as anthropomorphized symbols of human traits, as bearers of moral instruction, as agents of supernatural powers, and as divine messengers. Such questions as how to treat them properly and how human beings differ from them have helped define religious and cultural identities for millennia. In recent years scholars of religion have begun to bring together this corpus of material under a unified subject heading: religion and animals. This course provides an overview of that field, as well as trying to address some complex social and environmental problems that animals play a significant role in. As such it engages with the theories that underpin the animal liberation movement, which has been highly critical of the positioning of the animals within religions traditions. The course also exposes students to emerging theologies within many of the major traditions that argues for animal liberation as consistent with the tradition’s values. At the same time, the course provides counterviews to these theologies, and examines them through a system of ethical hermeneutics for interpreting scriptures. A recurring theme in the course is the tension within historical traditions with regard to animal welfare, as identified by Paul Waldau (see the Addendum to the Course Description, at the end of this document, for a longer description of this topic).
