EU country ‘punishing’ the elderly with crazy meat restriction of just 2.8 ounces per day — because they ‘screwed up’ the climate
NY Post ^ | May 6, 2026 | Anthony Blair

An eco-warrior politician has sparked outrage in Denmark after she defended guidelines limiting residents of government-run nursing homes to just 2.8 ounces of beef a week — which is less than one Big Mac.

Birgitte Kehler Holst of the left-wing green Danish party The Alternative was also accused of saying old people in nursing homes should be “punished” by restricting their meat intake in comments made in a meeting of Copenhagen’s City Council on April 30.

She was speaking against plans to exclude nursing home residents from guidelines in the Danish capital that restrict meals at government-run sites to just 2.8 ounces (80 grams) of beef, lamb, or veal per week.

That is less than the amount of beef in a standard McDonald’s Big Mac, which contains two 1.6-ounce beef patties — for a total of 3.2 ounces.

It seems the northern European counties like Denmark and Norway have lost their damned minds.

The Nazis wanted to eliminate undesirables.
The “progressives” want to eliminate undesirables.
How are they different?

1. The Nazis were more obvious about it.
2. The Nazis had fancier uniforms.

That’s about it.

Struggling to comment in a polite way.

I’ll go with this: The climate hoax brings out the worst within the most mentally pliable and cruel people.

Foolish voter, when you granted the government so much power and authority, did you actually think that it would take care of you when you are elderly, sick and vulnerable?

The elderly already have trouble with bone and muscle loss. This will only make it worse.

The headline states 2.8 oz per day. The body of the article says 2.8 oz per week. Big difference. But either way this is completely nuts.

I ate a 12 oz steak last night. Just about the healthiest food there is.

Enough with these half measures. Just put the oldsters who’ve lived past their usefulness out on the ice floes for the polar bears to eat, like the Inuits used to do before “civilization”.

“Get ready, Grandma. We’re going on an adventure!”

Hmmm...that sounds good. Friday is usually pizza night, but a nice ny strip or filet is really sounding good right now.

Been that way for a while. They have practically eliminated Downs Syndrome through selective termination. Going after the costly elderly is a natural next step.

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

Europe is largely an intellectual and moral ghetto.
