Bendz, Anna, et al. "Why do people accept or reject climate policies targeting food consumption? Unpacking justifications in the public debate in online social forums." Food Policy 121 (2023): 102544.

This paper explores the public debate on proposed dietary regulations in Sweden, specifically focusing on meat-free days in school canteens and a meat tax. By analyzing arguments from two online social forums, the study identifies key policy-specific beliefs, such as freedom, fairness, and effectiveness, that influence public support or opposition to these policies. The findings suggest that while there is general reluctance to impose dietary regulations, improved policy design, framing, and communication could enhance support for climate-related food policies.
