“To put things plainly… You are f***ed: when you get 50 percent of nutrition strategists out of an aggressive 1 percent of the population,” the political commentator Tomaž Štih responded to the news that more than half of Golob’s Strategic Council for Nutrition is made up of sworn vegans, with no representatives of farmers and food producers among its members.
Not only are we becoming a bizarre, third-world country, where the “beloved leader” is afraid of his own shadow, is making brutal personnel changes in the police, is introducing the green/solar (and vegetarian) religion, in addition to suppressing critical thought (including through a fake fight against “hate speech,” which, in reality, is just covert censorship…), but the Prime Minister Robert Golob’s statements about “meat-free meals” that he made months ago also seem to be chillingly serious. Golob apparently believes in what he says – 100 percent. During the summer, he was still worried about our health (sun and salty sea water), but tomorrow, he might already be worried about our (obedient) behaviour. The only thing we are missing now is the Chinese social credit system.
You can only get a real sense of the horrific scale of what is going on when you look, for example, at North Korea, where their “beloved leader,” despite all of his political commitments, still finds time to create food menus for his working people. His desire is even to change their eating habits (similar to that of Golob). Namely, on the MMC
web portal (and in the magazine “Kmečki glas” – The Farmers’ Voice), worrying news was recently published about the Prime Minister’s new Strategic Council for Nutrition: “The composition of the members of the Prime Minister’s Strategic Council for Nutrition, for which it has been said that more than half of the members are vegan, with no representatives of farmers and food producers, has provoked some strong reactions from the public even before it has begun its work.”
Amazingly, our eating habits will be guided by a “commune of New Age gurus”! The Council is made up of 15 members, and its mission will be to provide expert guidance for the modernisation of national dietary guidelines. The aim is to make diets more environmentally sound. Several concerned members of the relevant public have already responded to the news. Among others, Professor Barbara Jeršek, Ph.D., from the Biotechnical Faculty (the institution is involved in the project) expressed her concerns: “The Biotechnical Faculty welcomes the establishment of the Strategic Council for Nutrition, but at the same time believes that this composition is not balanced in terms of the involvement of experts from the entire food supply chain.”
The whole thing also “smells” like the extreme Left party and its civil-society tentacles!
The Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry of Slovenia has also expressed its concerns, given that most of the members of the Council will be vegan and will thus follow these views in particular. The President of the Chamber, Roman Žveglič, expressed concern that the “demonisation of Slovenian livestock farming” would be further reinforced. There are also fears that it would “open the door wide to overseas trade and the industry of chemically processed vegetable meat substitutes.” The absence of representatives of the agriculture and food sectors in the Council is also a concern for the Slovenian Democratic Party MP Tomaž Lisec, who has already asked Golob’s government about it.
There is also a heated debate currently going on in the Agency for Agricultural Markets and Rural Development (the advisory body to the Minister of Agriculture). Namely, in agreement with the Prime Minister, Minister Irena Šinko intends to nominate two representatives of experts to the Council, who do not have a voice in its current composition. All this also “smells” of the extreme Left party (Levica), which has only a handful of elected representatives in the National Assembly but has managed to give the government an aggressive ideological colouring and indirectly directs its policies through a servile “civil society.” In addition, they also have personnel links with the left-wing non-governmental Institute of the 8th of March (Inštitut 8. marec)!
