WANTS MORE TO RISE UP AGAINST THE SHAME OF THE MEAT: Storting’s representative for the Center Party, Jenny Klinge, believes that “vegan activists” are doing missionary work for a diet that is completely impossible for five million Norwegians to have. Photo: Terje Bringedal
The SP’s policy says it is critical of the ideology behind it. It makes people react on social media.
On Wednesday, Luca’s Deli chain opened its first store with only vegetarian and vegan products at Thorvald Meyers Gate in Grünerløkka.
The online newspaper wrote about the opening, and in a follow-up case that also dealt with the opening, the Storting representative for the Center Party, Jenny Klinge, expresses concern about ‘a development in which the Norwegians to believe that a normal Norwegian diet in which milk, meat, fish and eggs are included naturally, is a problem. “
She says individual vegetarian and vegan shops are not a problem, but she still doesn’t like the “ideology behind”.
– What they (vegan activists) say is that all Norwegians can switch to eating vegan food in the long run, and that it should be possible to supply all Norwegians with food produced in Norway. This is a distortion of the truth that is gross. If enough people start to believe this, it is a real cause for concern. Not that there are that many, but they do missionary work for a diet that is completely impossible for five million Norwegians to have, Klinge tells Nettavisen.
The statement has led to the Klinge name now trending on Twitter in Norway.
Several are upset by what the parliamentary representative has said.
Greenpeace leader Frode Pleym, for example, questions whether Klinge should be more concerned because only 20 percent of the population reaches the goal of five a day.
Author and Oslo City Council (ODM) member E claim Trædal also tweeted about the case:
Virke Pål Thygesen’s work life and business policy advisor has posted a photo of a vegetarian lasagna and writes: “This is something Jenny Klinge can compete against.”
Klinge has previously argued that more people must deal with the “meat comb.”
When the Norwegian vegan society requested state support as a philosophical organization, the parliamentary representative argued that it was insane.
He has also called the Norwegian Vegan Society “a gang of meat-hating fanatics.”
Klinge grew up on a farm and is concerned that pastures and pastures are first and foremost our food resources in Norway, resources that sheep, goats and cows can eat. He also believes that the Norwegian cultural landscape will grow again in many places if livestock farming ends.
The Norwegian Vegan Society writes to Nettavisen that they are positive about Luca’s Deli commitment to vegetarian and believe that “Klinge sounds like a person who has never read a single argument against his own point of view.”
