(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is blasting a United Nations organization for calling on citizens in the United States and other developed countries to eat less meat. The recommendation comes from the U-N’s Food and Agricultural Organization, which Hinson says it headed by a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

Hinson is co-sponsoring a resolution in the U-S House to condemn the U-N report, which also recommends that developing countries increase livestock production to improve the diets of their citizens. The report suggests reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires a reduction in excessive meat consumption in the world’s richest nations.

Hinson, a Republican from Marion, says it appears the United Nations can call on Americans to eat less meat, but they cannot condemn Hamas for atrocities in Israel.

The United Nations report suggests livestock production accounts for a third of greenhouse gas emissions and 40 percent of methane. Hinson and Nebraska Congressman Mike Flood are co-sponsoring the resolution pushing back on the U-N report. Flood and Hinson say meat is one of the most efficient ways to deliver protein and reducing meat consumption in the U-S would shatter the world’s food security.
