As a result of the presentation of the ‘Report on sustainable dietary and physical activity recommendations’ by the AESAN, Alberto GarzonMinister of Consumption on which said body depends, shared on his Twitter account a question received in Parliament before which he assured not to leave his astonishment. The message questioned him about the supposed right of children and parents to not receive training in nutritional matters.
A question that, taken out of context, would lead any reasonable person to react in the same way, but it is not the first time that Garzón has received harsh responses to any action related to the ministry that proposes to improve the health or quality of life of the population. Behind the aforementioned parliamentary question was Vox, opening, again, a false controversy about freedoms and rights.
If you have already multiplied burlesque reactions of politicians and citizens opposed to the leftist government when it was recommended to reduce the intake of red meat and promote extensive livestock, it is now suggested that Consumption intends to indoctrinate children and families about how they should eat.
As verified by elDiario, the striking parliamentary question it was signed by Voxand it did not take long to go viral on networks with numerous reactions that applauded the issue, refusing to follow the supposed impositions of the Government (“they cannot tell me what I can or cannot eat”), which many accuse of wanting to look good with vegan voters.
