New research by the British Social Attitudes survey reveals that nearly half of the British public are cutting back on meat, with 29% already reducing their consumption since warnings from the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that meat such as bacon, sausages and ham can cause cancer and red meat in general probably causes cancer; another 9% are considering cutting back on meat altogether. Cutting down: The WHO said red meats were ‘probably carcinogenic’ but acknowledged there was limited evidence. The findings come after a report published last month found that more than one million people die every year because they eat too much meat.
