How Denmark Is Nudging the Nation to Cut Back on Meat
Wealthier countries need to consume less meat to tackle climate change — and one nationwide experiment to encourage plant-based diets may show a way forward.

Danish chef Rasmus Kofoed has no regrets about going mostly meat free at his three-Michelin star restaurant, even if the decision spurred a wave of hate from across Denmark.

“We got a lot of angry emails from people who said they hoped we would go bankrupt and close,” Kofoed recalls in an interview in Geranium, his chic and bright restaurant located at the national football stadium in Copenhagen.

“It’s like people think you come and steal something from them,” says Kofoed, who was undeterred by the uproar. The chef changed the menu to largely plant-based fare in 2022 and earned a coveted world’s best restaurant award that same year.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Don't forget Denmark plans to tax cow and pig farts to encourage people not to eat meat.  In the article they report there is no attempt to ban meat.  There should have been one more word added to that statement - - - - - YET!
