Peer-reviewed: This work was reviewed and scrutinised by relevant independent experts.
Observational study: A study in which the subject is observed to see if there is a relationship between two or more things (eg: the consumption of diet drinks and obesity). Observational studies cannot prove that one thing causes another, only that they are linked.
People: This is a study based on research using people.

About 94% of New Zealanders still eat meat, and 86% eat an unrestricted meat-based diet, according to 2018 data from more than 47,000 people. Just under six per cent are vegetarian or vegan. The researchers found politically-conservative men are the least likely to stop eating meat. Given that meat-eating is so widespread, and over-consumption has health and environmental consequences, these authors say the focus may need to be on cutting back on meat - rather than cutting it out altogether.
