According to research published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, compared with young adults and adults, children show less speciesism, are less likely to categorize farm animals as food than pets, think farmed animals ought to be treated better, and deem eating meat and animal products to be less morally acceptable. "Our findings suggest we need to consider how we talk to children about humans’ relationship with non-human animals," lead author Luke McGuire, PhD, said in a statement. "Children are motivated to consider harm against the natural world, including animals, and as such we might want to consider beginning these discussions about food decisions early in life."
