Spain Publishes New Food Guidance, Urging Citizens To Eat Only Zero To Three Portions Of Meat A Week

The Spanish government has introduced new dietary recommendations that tell citizens to limit their meat consumption to three portions to none at all.

Spain has gleaned their guidance from the Plant-Based Food Alliance UK, better known as the “Alliance,” which was then decided upon the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (ASEAN).

The committee issued a statement on their guidance earlier this week:

The adoption by the Spanish population of a varied and balanced diet pattern characterized mainly by a greater predominance of foods of plant origin and a lower presence of foods of animal origin, in line with the Mediterranean diet pattern, can improve the state of health and well-being, while reducing the environmental impact of the food system.

However, the Alliance notes in a press release that the Spanish government has even exceeded the guidance the United Kingdom, which only speaks of reducing red or processed meat intake to 70g, or 0.15 pounds a day.

Marissa Heath, CEO of the Alliance, said in a statement:

This represents a welcome breakthrough in Spain in the approach to dietary recommendations and the UK should look to follow suit.

There is an urgent need to shift to a more plant-based diet for health reasons but also because our failure to do so leads us closer to ecosystem collapse.

It is widely known that animal-based foods emit twice as much greenhouse gases as plant-based foods and the UK Government needs to act decisively on this to encourage a shift to plant-based diets.
Heath said

The Alliance added in their press release: ‘The Scientific Committee said that in drawing up the recommendations, the suggestions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) had been taken into account and a comprehensive review of the most recent scientific evidence had been carried out, both from the point of view of a healthy and environmentally sustainable diet, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations and within the framework of the Mediterranean diet pattern, majority in our country.’

These new recommendations comes a little over a week after JBS, the world’s largest meat processing company, announced they will be opening a new lab-grown meat production facility in Spain, primed to be the largest in the world thus far, The WinePress reported.

A day after ASEAN released their new guidance, a vegan company called Ouvegg announced they would be commercializing an egg substitute that looks like an egg. ‘The texture of Ouvegg is said to be similar to that of a beaten egg, offering versatility and allowing for a wide variety of preparations from tortillas, scrambled eggs, and batters,’ Vegconomist reported. It is made of chickpea and flax flour, corn starch, nutritional yeast, vegetable protein, salt, and turmeric.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1 Timothy 4:1-3

While these are recommendations, they will soon become commands and demands.

Spain’s government is full of absolute demented freaks, as you can read more about below:

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
