@twitter		 We pride ourselves on being a nation of animal lovers. We donate generously to animal charities and abhor animal abuse. And yet we so often opt not to fork out for higher welfare on our farms. 2/10

@twitter		 Of course, not everyone can afford to pay more. But it remains the case that a large proportion of the population could and yet, for one reason or another, often choose not to. 3/10

@twitter		 It is not only that we are often ignorant of the processes of meat production. We are wilfully ignorant. 4/10

@twitter		 Psychologists have found that, when quizzed, many people explicitly say they do not want to know about animal farming practices, because they recognise that such information might make it more emotionally difficult to purchase and consume meat. 5/10

@twitter		 Our concern for animal welfare is genuine, yet is compartmentalised and impinges only lightly upon our dietary behaviours. 7/10

@twitter		 Our values are sincere, but exist largely in the abstract and can be muted when purchasing or ordering food. 8/10

@twitter		 We say we are eating less – perhaps because we feel that we should – but the reality is arguably rather different. 9/10

@twitter		 Why do so many people eat factory-farmed meat despite caring deeply about animal welfare? https://t.co/v4OPBP6KoN
