Nej tak, Danish Crown. Når DK skal producere flere sunde kalorier og proteiner på et mindre landbrugsareal med mindre klima- og miljøbelastning, er det ikke en kæmpe vækst i antallet af dyr vi har brug for, men en vækst i produktionen af planter til konsum. #dkgreen #dkfood
Plads til 10 mio. flere slagtegrise i Danmark: Men staldene skal ikke bygges i Jylland
Midt i debatten om den grønne trepart går Danish Crowns topchef i offensiven: Der kan sagtens produceres 10 mio. flere slagtegrise i Danmark, fastslår Niels Duedahl. Der skal bare bygges flere stalde ...

Tak til @ekstrabladet.dk for at stille sig på fornuftens side i denne sag. Meget enig med lederen her - bortset fra, at en planteburger ikke pynter sig med lånte fjer. Ordet stemmer 100% overens med, hvad det er. Hvad skulle en planteburger ellers hedde?🍔🌱

Helt sort at et flertal i EP vil lovgive om, at helt almindelige produktnavne som burger og pølse SKAL indeholde kød. Svært at se som andet end et benspænd for plantebaserede varianter af forskellige fødevaretyper, og et totalt misforstået hensyn til europæiske forbrugere og landmænd #dkgreen #eudk
Plantebøffer må ikke længere hedde plantebøffer. I hvert fald hvis det står til Europa-Parlamentet
Stor uenighed i Europa-Parlamentet, hvor man i dag har stemt for at begrænse udtryk som plantebøffer- og pølser om produkter uden kød.

Utroligt at dette åbenlyse benspænd for plantebaserede fødevarer er kommet på bordet igen. EU bør sikre sunde og bæredygtige fødevarer med tydelige varedeklarationer i stedet for at regulere sproget. Derfor er CONCITO medunderskriver på dette åbne brev til EU's beslutningstagere 🌱✍️ #dkgreen #eudk
