This paper explored the role of variousfactors that may trigger disgust with meat and hence avoidance of red meatamongyoungfemales. These include negative body esteem, disgust motivations related to ideational concerns, sensory-affective concerns, and anticipation of negative consequences relating to the consumption of meat.
