🌑 Should Pluto be a planet? 🍾 Is January 21st too late to say "Happy New Year"? 🫖 Does jam or cream go first on a scone? These are the issues that divide Britain in 2025. Here's something we can agree on: 🏷️ 91% of Brits agree that all meat products should have animal welfare labels!

🤯 Plant-based diets have exploded in the UK over the last 5 years 🌱 1 in 6 Brits now follow a meat-free diet (including pescetarians) ⚖️ 1 in 4 people adopting a new norm is a key social tipping point in social conventions!

"Less speciesist attitudes only matter if they lead to actions that reduce animal suffering." Do you agree? I was delighted to write about the ethical implications of #cultivatedmeat for The Vegan Society in productive disagreement with my esteemed colleague Corey Lee Wrenn! 👇 shorturl.at/SlyRb

People don't agree on much these days... Working with polls, you don't see 98% agreement very often. But people who took part in @veganuary.bsky.social OVERWHELMINGLY agreed that they would recommend #Veganuary to a friend 🤯 Finally something we can agree on? 😅 #ghosts #pizza #sockswithsandals

I appreciate the criticisms! I have to say, I didn't know about those statements, and I of course don't endorse them. Thank you for interacting patiently with my misstep! 🙏 My aim was to highlight how much one person can do for animals - but the most impact is made by the products of teamwork 👇

Vegans - have those difficult conversations. Most #vegans said they thought sharing great #veganfood was among the most effective ways to convince people -- but most success in convincing others had come from *direct conversations!* Almost 40% of vegans had convinced someone this way!! 🤯

This one #activist has changed the course of history. According to this 2019 survey of 12,814 vegans from 97 countries, 2.5% of the world's #vegans (1 in 40) credit their #veganism to Gary Yourofsky 🤯 This represents BILLIONS of animals saved by one guy. What an achievement 👑 vomad.life/survey/

Activists often encounter people at the contemplation stage, where cognitive dissonance happens! But nearly 50% are at the PRE-contemplation stage, meaning they haven't even thought about giving up meat! 🤯 The next step is awareness for every other person 💡 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Moving people from animal products to alternatives needs: 1. Push factors (reasons not to eat animals) 🐷 2. Pull factors (reasons to eat something else) 🌱 3. Good choice architecture (integrated menus, majority veg menus, veg defaults, etc.) 💡

Using integrated menus can DOUBLE selection of #meat-free options! Just 6% chose #vegetarian options when they were in a segregated 'vegetarian' section of the menu - that jumped to 13% when they were positioned alongside the rest of the menu!

It's a common misconception that activists should avoid giving people cognitive dissonance. On the contrary, we have to keep pressing the dissonance until it is resolved - don't let them avoid the issue!
A flowchart shows 'the omnivores dilemma' with three choices: give up animal products, live with dissonance, and attempt to justify. Arrows labelled 'activist pressure' indicate pressure from the dilemma to one of the three choices.

"Veganism is hurting farmers" assumes that more meat production = more farming jobs. But the rise of factory farms has destroyed #farming jobs, despite an increase in #meat production. Farmers, vegans are not your enemy -- it's the factory farms!! bryantresearch.co.uk/insight-item...
