MA-25, replacement model substituting 25 % of self-reported meat intake with composite of meat alternatives; MA-50, replacement model substituting 50 % of self-reported meat intake with composite of meat alternatives; MA-75, replacement model substituting 75 % of self-reported meat intake with composite of meat alternatives; MA-100, replacement model substituting 100 % of self-reported meat intake with composite of meat alternatives.

Blue indicates significant increase compared with current. Gold indicates significant decrease compared with current.
