Abstract

The rise in global meat consumption poses significant sustainability challenges, driving the exploration of alternative protein sources. This study investigates consumer attitudes towards meat alternatives, including plant-based options, lab-grown meat, and insect-based foods, among physically active individuals. Using an online survey disseminated through running communities, data from 876 hobby runners were analysed through SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) with descriptive and comparative statistics. Results indicate that while meat consumption remains prevalent, there is a growing awareness of plant-based options; however, lab-grown meat and insect-based foods face greater scepticism. The findings contribute to understanding the role of sustainable food choices and offer recommendations for promoting meat alternatives in the evolving food industry.
