Rep. Mike Flood has a beef with the UN over meat consumption

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood is planning a resolution to condemn the United Nations this week, according to a press release from his office.

The target is an upcoming “global food systems’ road map” by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, which the congressman believes will contain recommendations for the U.S. to reduce meat consumption.

Officials believe the report could be published as soon as Sunday at COP28, a U.N. climate change conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Flood is planning to formally introduce the resolution on Monday.

The resolution, according to the release, is as follows:

“Resolved, that the House of Representatives (1) recognizes the importance of meat and livestock production to the United States economy; (2) recognizes the importance of meat and animal-based protein; (3) disapproves of United Nations recommendation to reduce meat consumption in their global food systems’ road map; and (4) opposes the use of any Federal resources to support attempts to reduce meat consumption.”
