53% of French people admit to having dropped their meat consumption in the last three years, according to an action for Action Climate Network, published Tuesday, March 18. This change in consumption is mainly explained by the rise in prices.
In the Boucherie Terroir, in Paris, customers used to order less meat. “I have less taste for meat, my wallet has less the goput of meat“, confirms a retiree. Luigi Casteran, the butcher, insists:”Customers prefer to eat a little less meat than in previous years“Over the past twenty years, meat consumption has dropped by 6%.
