Description
Marzena Jezewska-Zychowicz and co-authors ask what predicts whether Polish adults plan to eat less meat and more plant based food, in a study from 2024. Good intentions often fail to match the plate, so knowing what lines up with intention is a first step for policy. Past behavior and current diet quality were the candidate predictors.
Just over one thousand adults answered a web survey in 2023 about their eating over the prior two years and their plans for the next. Clustering sorted them into four change patterns, from no change to less red meat with more of other foods. Regression then linked those patterns and diet quality scores to stated intentions. Most past change centered on red meat, the results show, and habits already in motion pointed toward future plans.
