The Abstinence Violation Effect and the project of plant-based meals for soldiers

Peaceful greetings to readers. Given the current tensions in Israel, there perhaps has never been a more crucial time to prioritize plant-based nutrition. 🌿❤️🍅

The Abstinence Violation Effect, Fresh Start Effect, and the "What the Hell" Effect are all psychological phenomena pointing to the likelihood that an individual who breaks a healthy habit might be inclined to abandon restraint altogether.

This effect might also apply to plant-based nutrition. An individual who once violates their veganism might be inclined to completely abandon it, resulting in the consumption of non-vegan food, consequently affecting approximately 4,000 animals over the span of their life under factory farm conditions.

Though most of Israel's battlegrounds currently anticipate assistance, often exceeding 100% of the aid capacity, the domain of livestock and, specifically, this project has only achieved 34% of its objective. This positions the project as a solution that tackles not only a big-scale issue but also a neglected one, deeply entrenched within the domain of effective altruism.
