Why are most Dutch meat eaters not cutting down on their meat and fish consumption? A widespread 2021 survey reveals that most reasons have to do with people's habits. In fact, 93 percent of respondents at least somewhat agree with the reason: "we always used to eat fish when I grew up". Other reasons that underscore the force of habit include "my family eats meat often" and "I am used to eating meat".
