meat简单

More recently there were similar doubts about probiotics and plant-based meats, but both have exploded into major supermarket categories.

最近，人们对益生菌和植物肉也有过类似的怀疑，但两者都已迅猛发展成超市的主要品类。

Surveys show that younger generations are more concerned about climate change, and some of the success of plant-based meat can be chalked up to shoppers wanting to signal their desire to protect the environment.

调查显示，年轻一代更关心气候变化，而植物肉的成功在一定程度上可归因于购物者希望表明自己保护环境的愿望。

The researchers investigated one class session’s impact on eating meat.

研究人员调查了一堂课对吃肉行为的影响。

They chose this particular behavior for three reasons, according to study co-author Eric Schwitzgebel, a philosopher at the University of California, Riverside: students’ attitudes on the topic are variable and unstable, behavior is easily measurable, and ethics literature largely agrees that eating less meat is good because it reduces environmental harm and animal suffering.

据该研究的合著者、加州大学河滨分校的哲学家埃里克·施维茨格贝尔说，他们选择这一特定行为有三个原因：学生对这一话题的态度多变且不稳定；这种行为很容易衡量；伦理学文献大体上认同少吃肉是好的，因为这能减少环境危害和动物痛苦。

Half of the students in four large philosophy classes read an article on the ethics of factory-farmed meat, optionally watched an 11-minute video on the topic and joined a 50-minute discussion.

在四个大型哲学班中，一半学生阅读了一篇关于工厂化养殖肉类伦理问题的文章，可选择性地观看了一段关于该话题的11分钟视频，并参加了50分钟的讨论。

But among student subjects who discussed meat ethics, meal purchases containing meat decreased from 52 to 45 percent — and this effect held steady for the study’s duration of several weeks.

但在讨论过肉类伦理的学生受试者中，含肉餐食的购买比例从52%降到了45%——而且这一效果在为期数周的研究期间一直保持稳定。
