Deliberate ignorance-a barrier for information interventions targeting reduced meat consumption?

Objective: Despite abundant information about negative consequences of consuming meat, consumption in many Western countries is many times higher than recommended.

We focus on a specific food group shown as detrimental to health: processed meat.
