Abstract:
... This study focuses on the details of consumer response to lab grown ‘cultured meat (CM)’, compared to meat derived from insects, plants and animals. A sample of 254 New Zealanders were interviewed. A word association exercise revealed that consumer reaction to CM was dominated by affective, rather than cognitive factors. The linkages between a general food neophobia scale, a specific CM evaluation ...
