So essentially, no government intervention will occur but nutrition guidelines are to be slashed in half - just as the the Netherlands have recently, as well as the US. The UK also slashed their RDI of dairy too.

Huge props to all involved in pulling this off. Whilst the Western world is beginning to look away from animal products, we're seeing the growing middle class in countries like China seek them out as it's still heavily associated with luxury - with huge implications on our health and the environment. So, good on the Chinese Nutrition Society

And this is why communism is a failure.

Communism single handedly crafting a future for the environment

Good for vegans.

Well, good.

50% is ridiculous

The meat consumption per capita in China is still a lot lower than the western world's
There are still NGOs and Charities working on ensuring the kids in poor and remote regions have meat in their lunch and dinner.

I don't see how this will ever work.

I do hope they cut down their meat production though, their food quality is garbage anyway.
It will also be a huge opportunity for Australia, the meat exportation is gonna boom.

A bit much.

Why not just stop eating dog-meat? That'd cut down consumption by quite a bit

Amazing. When will the rest of the world.

It's about our planet and the future.

Racist much?

The vast majority of Chinese don't eat dogs or cats.
It's just an old culinary culture that still exists in some southern parts of China among a very limited population.

I think there's growing interest for China to put the safety gears on in regards to sustainable development - this being an element of it, naturally. The World Resources Institute have been publishing ongoing reports on a sustainable food future that solidify the economic, health and ethical necessity that the world transition towards plant-based foods, and they're outstanding, you can check them out here.



This is purely from an environmental standpoint, anyway - I believe another reason cited for the change in the official report was health concern, particular in regard to tackling obesity.

Well, if one white person in America does something off-kilter or awful, everyone does it, right?
Isn't that how it works?

...Good for my people.

Don't play the victim here.
I have never seen white people being generalized like that, but I see white Americans calling Asians dog eaters all the time on the internet.

And this is off the topic, please stop.

Nope. Maybe generalising a bit, like everyone else does daily.

approximately 10 million dogs each year are slaughtered for consumption

Hardly limited.

cOMMUNIS SAVING THE WORLD AGAIN. WHO ELSE?

Not beef slaying

If we just cut out beef, we'd be in a much better place it seems like. So we should be focusing on cutting out beef first and foremost, and other animal products later.

And I'm not white or American. Stop generalising.

Very good news!

good for the environment

Communists always win! China always win!
