Norway Updates Dietary Guidelines To Recommend Eating Mostly Plants And Reduce Meat Consumption

The following report is by Vegconomist:

Norway has published updated dietary guidelines that recommend choosing mostly plant-based foods and limiting red and processed meat consumption.

The guidelines advise that all meals should include fruits and vegetables, while several servings of whole grains should be eaten each day. Meanwhile, the maximum recommended red meat consumption has been lowered from 500g to 350g per week, and people are advised to eat as little processed meat as possible. The protein group in the food wheel now contains legumes and tofu as well as meat and seafood, and the recommendations suggest replacing some or all of the meat in certain dishes with beans or lentils.

Low-fat dairy consumption is still recommended as a source of calcium, but the guidelines acknowledge that plant-based alternatives are a suitable option for those who do not consume dairy. Soft margarines and vegetable oils containing unsaturated fats are recommended over butter and tropical oils.

The guidelines also advise eating a small handful of unsalted nuts every day and incorporating seeds into the diet. Water is the only recommended beverage.

To develop the new guidelines, Norway is likely to have taken inspiration from the latest edition of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, which was published last year. Taking into account both health and sustainability, the recommendations advise a mostly plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, and nuts.

Since then, Austria and Germany have also updated their dietary guidelines to recommend eating mostly plants. Both countries have given legumes their own separate recommendation, while advising that meat consumption should be limited.

“The body needs us to take in more nutrients every day so that we can function well here and now, but also so that we can stay healthy and prevent chronic disease,” say the Norwegian guidelines. “If you follow the dietary guidelines, you reduce the risk of, among other things, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, several forms of cancer, osteoporosis, tooth decay, overweight and obesity. You will also have your body’s need for nutrients covered.”

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Even though the world is basically still in the “recommendation” phase, it will not be that much longer until world government and health authorities start to mandate that meat be not consumed, or become so overpriced that more people will be goaded into eating more plants and bugs instead.

1 Timothy 4:1 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.

[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).
