According to the source, the survey methodology was as follows: 'Consumers surveyed were asked to rate each group's level of responsibility for reducing of livestock using a 10-point scale, from "1" being "not responsible at all" to "10" being "very responsible". Consumers could use any number between "1" and "10" to express their opinions.'
