![]() ![]() Eggs have several interesting characteristics suitable for our experimental design. The products used in this study are fresh eggs and prepared meals that include eggs as ingredients. The information is provided using a color-coded score that provides a quick assessment of the relative rating of each product. The second part of the study uses the same products but examines stability of choices after providing additional information regarding one of the following attributes: animal welfare, nutrition, or environmental impact. Specifically, the first part of the study examines preferences regarding type of eggs and if these preferences switch when going from a dozen eggs to prepared meals that include eggs. This allows for an examination of the consistency of consumer preferences for type of eggs across the following two axes: (i) when going from the unprocessed product to the same product used as an ingredient in a prepared meal, and (ii) when additional information is provided that may update their beliefs or require trade-offs. To address these issues, this study uses an online survey with choice tasks for eggs produced in different housing systems (cage, enriched housing, free run, and free range) which can be associated with different levels of animal welfare and environmental impacts. Thus, consumers concerned with animal welfare and environmental attributes must make a trade-off when purchasing these products. As an illustration, show that GHG emissions per kilogram of eggs are greater for organic and free-range egg production than for battery cage eggs. Yet, in many instances, attributes may in fact counteract each other. In the latter, the attributes were considered as providing added and complementary benefits. Nevertheless, examine how organic products competed for the same customers as animal welfare-oriented products, while studied both animal welfare and environmental attributes for eggs produced under different systems (caged, free run, free range, organic). ![]() Few studies examine conflicting attributes. Currently, most research focuses on a single social (e.g., healthiness or animal welfare impact) or environmental (e.g., carbon footprint) attribute or considers attributes additively. The provision of information led participants to update prior beliefs and revise their initial choices, especially for animal welfare attributes.Īnother area that has been overlooked in the food preference literature is the conflicting interaction between social and environmental attributes that can sometimes arise. ![]() Results indicate that respondents choose eggs from more sustainable production systems more frequently when included in prepared meals than in their unprocessed form. Furthermore, we examine the shift in choices following information treatments on animal welfare, nutrition, or environmental impact attributes. We compare the respondents’ choices of fresh eggs and two prepared meals that contain eggs. ![]() This study uses a stated preference survey to examine Quebec (Canada) consumers’ preferences for eggs from four production systems with different impacts on animal welfare and on the environment. Although surveys have been used to investigate the demand for these attributes in unprocessed products, little information exists on how these attributes impact consumer preferences in the case of processed products or prepared meals. However, it remains to be seen whether deflection in Project Eve is as precise and satisfactory as in Sekiro.Food items are increasingly chosen based on sustainability attributes as the public is becoming increasingly aware of the environmental and animal welfare impacts of production systems, in addition to the traditional consideration for nutrition. Furthermore, appropriately parrying and dodging will also charge Eve's Burst Gauge, needed to activate powerful moves. Players can still hack and slash their way through enemies, but parrying or evading will grant them with Beta Gauge, a form of currency that unlocks new skills. Sekiro fans are in luck, as parrying in Project Eve looks like it works similarly to the posture system from Sekiro. Project Eve's unique approach to combat creates an opportunity to attract veteran Dark Souls fans while being a breath of fresh air for those exhausted with the more simplified gameplay of the hack-and-slash genre. Although an action game at its heart, Project Eve appears to take on the more methodical approach of Dark Souls with its combat, while also retaining the finesse and fluidity of games like Devil May Cryand Bayonetta The methodical combat of Souls-like games requires careful observation of enemy patterns while slashing, dodging, and parrying. Dark Souls and Souls-like titles have established an ever-growing genre that prioritizes responsive and intricate combat mechanics. ![]()
