  • There’s still no meat: Revisiting the idea of Republican vegans
    on June 3, 2025

Dietary choice can also be tied to a personal identity, in which food consumption reinforces through other beliefs and in-group identities, including partisan affiliation and political ideology. This study analyzes survey data from the Natural Marketing Institute’s (NMI) 2019 Lifestyles of Health and…

  • Effects of a cafeteria-based sustainable diet intervention on wellbeing at a large German hospital: a quasi-experimental study
    on June 2, 2025

    CONCLUSION: This worksite cafeteria-based diet intervention yielded nominal improvements in mental and physical wellbeing among customers; this could be mediated by increased adherence to the PHD. These trends warrant verification in larger-sized intervention studies with more intense intervention dosages. Our findings underline the importance of sustainable food environments for planetary health. The protocol was registered at the German-Clinical-Trial-Register on 22/04/2024 (DRKS00032620).
