Reflecting on the opinons:

o More info available: less secret, less sectoral, more divulgative
o Health studies reveal and promote the advantages of being veg
o Environmental studies too! Farming is polluting, does not generate distributed income, creates waste difficult to manage, produces unhappy animals that end up in our stomachs!
o Relationships with climate change-related issues gets strengthened
o Markets may find both advantages and disadvantages in the trend
o The dynamic of the consensus induces not questioning
o The habit is spreading: no more “fashionable” but “conscience” issue
o Scientific data influence people’s habits
o But: vegetarianism alone is not sufficient
o There is no one single all-valid solution to climate change!
