The food choices we make every day have a big impact on the climate and the environment, and it seems that the younger generation is paying more attention to this issue than ever before. A new study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Avocado Green Mattress has found that the majority of Gen Z and millennials would like to have clearer information from restaurants about the environmental impact of different foods.
While the study originally focused on menu anxiety when ordering at restaurants, it also examined factors that influence food choices, including how including labels such as “vegan” and “vegetarian” on restaurant menus affects customers’ decision to order.
The results showed that younger generations are more likely to choose these options.
Overall, the survey found that 77% of younger generations would like to receive clearer information from restaurants about the impact of different dishes on the environment, while 58% of older respondents feel the same.
