Eat Bugs: EU Promotes Less Meat, More 'Alternative Proteins'

The EU morphs increasingly into a full blown nanny central state! Good luck with that! Hopefully, the citizens of Europe will resist this government paternalism coming out of Brussels!

As so often Big Government Deals are bad deals for its citizens (remember e.g. FDR and the New Deal or the British version Beveridge Report).

"The Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly.
Food systems cannot be resilient to crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic if they are not sustainable. We need to redesign our food systems which today account for nearly one-third of global GHG emissions, consume large amounts of natural resources, result in biodiversity loss and negative health impacts (due to both under- and over-nutrition) and do not allow fair economic returns and livelihoods for all actors, in particular for primary producers."
Incredible socialist central planning coming from the EU!

Eat Bugs: EU Promotes Less Meat, More 'Alternative Proteins' Europeans must move to a “more plant-based diet”, according to new EU food policy, which also revealed the bloc will promote “insect-based proteins and meat substitutes”.


Here is the official announcement of the EU:
Farm to Fork Strategy – for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system

Pretty socialist Propaganda:
