GOP rep introduces resolution condemning UN for calling on Americans to stop eating meat

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., is introducing a bill to condemn the United Nations for attempting to limit Americans' consumption of popular meat products.

"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," Flood's resolution states. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

Flood, who serves on the Congressional Beef Caucus, joined a chorus of voices this week criticizing the U.N.'s Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) for preparing its global food systems’ road map, which will reportedly include a call for the U.S. and other Western nations to ditch meat in favor of plant-based foods. That report is expected to be published as soon as Sunday during a COP28 session hosted by FAO.
