Red Meat Advisory Council Chair John McKillop says the National Health and Medical Research Council is “well and truly beyond their remit”.
Mr McKillop’s remarks come as the federal government’s advice on diets will incorporate the impact of certain foods on climate change, according to The Australian.
The National Health and Medical Research Council published a 226-page Dietary Guidelines document in 2013, which detailed the best dietary habits for optimum health and a lowered environmental impact.
The review of the decade-old guidelines is due in 2026 and will include new considerations on how food could affect climate change, which could eventually see consumers encouraged to reduce the intake of red meat.
‘Idealistic agenda that’s hidden behind it’: New diet advice to consider climate impact
“We’re seeing in this is a number of organisations lately where they go well beyond what they’re intended to do,” Mr McKillop told Sky News host Steve Price.
“I think there’s an idealistic agenda that’s hidden behind it.”
