Consumer Affairs Minister Alberto Garzón has reignited the debate about Spain’s love of meat by asking Spaniards to consume less “carne” to protect their personal health as well as the future of the planet.
“I am worried. I am worried about the planet,” Garzón said in a video posted on Twitter on July 7th, pleading with Spaniards to cut down their meat consumption to improve their personal well-being and that of the planet’s.
“Without a planet we have no life, we have no salaries and we have no economy. And we are bringing this upon ourselves. One thing we can change, which has a direct impact on the planet, is our diet. We can change our diet and improve the state of the planet”.
Garzón explained that according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the meat and dairy industry accounts for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. […]
Spain consumes seven million tonnes of meat each year, which comes from the slaughter of 70 million animals. […]
Despite Spaniards’ excessive consumption of meat, it doesn’t seem to be affecting their health too much, as the Spanish are predicted to have the longest life expectancy in the world by 2040 — mainly thanks to their Mediterranean diet. In 2019, Spain was already considered the healthiest country in the world, according to the Bloomberg Healthiest Country Index. …

Oh sure. Always avoid the processed stuff.
I better eat more meat just in case. Someone has to keep the balance.
Typical vegan propaganda put out by the usual suspects — Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, WHO, American Diabetes Association, American Dietary Association.
Why give diet advice to those who have been acclaimed as the healthiest, long-lived people on the planet? Have you seen the man-boobs on Bill Gates — presumably from eating his fake-meats diet, although I’ve heard that is what he recommends for everybody else only. He’s not going to eat that fake shit himself; that’s for the nonbillionaires, and woman who feel “uncomfortable” with his clumsy advances.
If you read the article carefully — and not through the distorted lens of Tedros and Fauci and all those who think they have a right to tell everybody else how to live their lives, it would be much more intelligent and logical to follow what they are doing to make them “the healthiest people on the planet” — rather than make them as obese and diabetic as the rest of the world they have advised — to make them more susceptible to diseases and infections.
Or is that to much to ask of the STEM-deficient media?
Soylent green is the solution—less people on the planet...
You know they want to go there....
“My People! I read on a facebook post that meat causes global warming. So hear my words as a voice of an educated authority - we must stop eating meat to save the planet”
Yes. That’s EXACTLY what he said.
And remember when it was just oil that was causing the problem?
Remember Acid Rain and how that just “disappeared” 20 years ago as a problem even though coal plant usage never actually diminished until very recently?
Remember when it was just CFCs that were causing the Ozone to disappear?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I live in Spain and the reaction to this article, even from his fellow ministers, is that this guy is an idiot.
Thanks for the reminder to buy more meat, minister. Always do the opposite of what leftists tell you to do, folks.
Beat me to the punch!
Callate tu boca.

Ha!
Spain loves their bull testicles
Cults do the same thing. It makes people weak and stupid.
Please! I am worried about the planet. For pity’s sake please eat less meat. Meat is bad. All the protein and calcium and vitamin b12 is harmful to the planet. As a member of the government I am more qualified than you to know what is good for you and for the planet. Everything that I know makes me worried and all I can do to assuage my fear is for you to eat less meat. I think I should probably eat less meat but I am only one person and it won’t make any difference if I have steak with every meal. I probably will eat the same amount of meat and having you eat less of it will decrease demand and make it more affordable for me and my peeps here in the government. And it will help the planet which is most important.
Was Bill Gates’ thinking clearer back when he ate McDonald’s every day . . . ?
