Majority of Americans Are Fine <br />With Eating Less Meat The findings come from a survey conducted <br />by Yale and Earth Day Network. More than 1,000 U.S. <br />adults participated. Fruits and vegetables are far from <br />unpopular, with over nine out of 10 <br />saying they are inclined to eat more of them. More than half are also willing to <br />eat less red meat and go for plant-based options. Reasons such as cost and uncertainty seem to be keeping people from healthier diets. 58 percent claim a greener diet <br />is too heavy on the wallet. Half are unsure of what to buy and <br />how to cook certain products. 64 percent even say that nobody has <br />ever encouraged them to eat healthier products. Experts say eating more plant-based food helps <br />you as well as the environment. Earth Day Network director Jillian Semaan also <br />says its the quickest stance one can take in the <br />battle against climate change. Jillian Semaan, via The Verge
