Winning? For the moment the UN has quietly packed away plans to tell everyone to give up meat to stop bad weather<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Back in November the UN was all set to boss the citizens of wealthy nations around. The plan was to badger them into giving up meat so their grandchildren would have slightly nicer weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Possibly, after thousands of farmers stormed across the EU in their tractors this winter, the idea has lost its appeal.\u00a0 Not that the UN has the honesty to explain why they changed their minds, or even to admit they did. But the first installment of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) food systems roadmap has left the activists reeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The omission of meat-eating reduction from proposals in a UN roadmap to tackle the climate crisis and end hunger is \u201cbewildering\u201d, according to academic experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group also criticised the UN Food and Agriculture Organization\u2019s report for \u201cdismissing\u201d the potential of alternative proteins, such as plant-based meat, to reduce the impact of livestock on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time ever, some activists even called for \u201ctransparency\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a commentary published in the journal Nature Food<\/a>, experts said the FAO\u2019s failure to include a methodology on how the 120 actions it did support were chosen, or a list of authors, was \u201cconcerning and surprising\u201d. They called for the next instalments of the roadmap to be more transparent \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A group of academics has written a paper in Nature<\/em><\/a> criticizing the UN group. They can\u2019t believe the UN would miss an opportunity to promote vegetarian lifestyles and fake meat. The head of the FAO group defended himself, saying \u201cDietary change is mentioned eight times in the 50-page summary report\u201d which sounds like nothing at all, especially when they don\u2019t even mention \u201creducing meat\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not last, but looks acts and smells like a win. Score 1 for the farmers\u2026. the UN is being badgered by The People.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
