Reaction to the demand for a total ban on meat advertising

In an interview with Focus Meat, nutritionist Uwe Knop advises against following expensive "better-eater hypes". "To be clear, there is a lack of any kind of scientific evidence as to whether diet A is better, i.e. healthier, than diet B," said Knop. “Such recommendations are often not about science, but about ideology.” This was also the case with the non-governmental organization Greenpeace recently put a ban on advertising meat on the pretext of protecting public health justified. Unfortunately, too much nonsense is reported here and posted on social media in order to position certain diets or to fuel one's own marketing.

“What happens in these discussions is hara-kiri from a scientific point of view. Because the observational studies and meta-analyzes clearly show that this no reliable evidence in terms of health derive. "

The specialist book author ("Intuitive Interval Fasting") and member of the European Institute for Food and Nutritional Sciences therefore recommends a more relaxed approach to diet. He himself will not recommend anyone to deal specifically with individual ingredients in food. “My advice to people: eat a diverse, varied and fresh diet high quality - that includes meat if you like to eat it and well tolerated. And always everything in moderation with full intuitive trust in your own body ”. In the meantime, the leading ecotrophological specialist societies in the DACH state unmistakably in unison: The era of the division into healthy and unhealthy foods is over, this strict categorization no longer makes sense.
