Hey, VG! I wanted to explain why I reverted your edit at this article. In general we don't need an inline citation for assertions in the lead that have a citation in the sections, which this does.

hi
—valereee! Thanks for the clarification. I have to admit that I added the tag having skimmed the article for similar statemends and Ctrl+F'd the article for "twice"; totally my bad. But now that I've found the relevant sentence – it appears that the intro doesn't reflect the available data correctly at all. For one, it says "By 2020 research showed that..." in describing two tidbits while the second statement is cited to 2021 in the main body. Also, my maths could be totally off on this, but is "nearly one in three" actually "more than twice" than "one in five"? Wouldn't that only apply to a share of, say, one in <2.5? Most importantly, the
Gallup poll the referenced Today.com article cites doesn't actually seem to include any data on Black people specifically – only people of color/nonwhites, so it appears the claims in the article could be misrepresentative of the actual findings (note that the Today.com article only says "a 2019 Gallup Poll found that nearly a third of people of color in America reported cutting down on meat"). I might be missing something, though. What do you think?

Hey, make any adjustments you think are improvements! If I disagree, we can discuss. It's best to have these kinds of discussions at the article talk, though, as that makes it easier for other editors to follow them. I only came here to explain my revert, as I don't like to revert newer editors without providing an explanation.
