A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.
Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.
Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people’s reluctance to reduce meat consumption.
City? Yeah, if you pay a fair whack or live near one of the buddhist or hindu country diaspora hubs. Out bush? Yeah, nah. There will be one menu item, maybe two if you include the garden salad as being a meal.

Yeah that’s true. I’m a city dweller and spoilt for choice. But I reckon if more people were asking for it out bush, the restaurants would update their menus.
Also depends on the city I imagine. I now describe myself as an “omnivore who prefers to not eat the animals” due to desperate times when going out…
Depends what you even call “city” really. Even in the most populated capital, things can get really dire in the outer suburban sprawl. Especially if they’re mostly Anglo-european suburbs. Your choices start to be mostly “vegetarian burger using frozen gross patties” at the local bowling club or “pre-frozen falafel kebab”. And the “don’t add meat” option at the ubiquitous Chinese and Thai joints.
