French Mp Sparks National Debate Over Claims Charred Red Meat Is Macho France

Sandrine Rousseau, EELV party leader and self-proclaimed “eco-feminist,” has raised one of the most talked-about topics of the holiday season. Seeking to draw attention to the impact of meat-eating on climate change, he told an event at the weekend that the country needed to “change its mindset so that eating steak cooked on a barbecue is not a symbol of bravery”. Citing data from researchers, the 50-year-old former academic said men ate twice as much red meat as women in the country of steak frites and boeuf bourguignon. As the French return to work after the long August break, radio and television stations as well as social media are abuzz with hot takes on Rousseau’s barbecue. “It’s enough to blame our boys for everything. Stop “deconstructing” our men. Stop Rousseau’s fantasies,” tweeted right-wing MP Nadine Morano. Far-right lawmaker Julien Odoul argued that “since the dawn of time, men’s muscle mass means they eat more meat (protein) than women. It’s not ‘virility’, it’s nature.” He vowed to continue the “Cro-Magnon diet based on French meat,” referring to the carnivorous early cave-dwelling humans found in southwestern France. EELV seeks to capitalize on a summer of weather-related disasters, ranging from a severe drought to massive fires in France, to draw attention to climate change. In recent weeks, the party floated the idea of ​​banning the construction of new private swimming pools as well as restrictions on private jets. Rousseau defended herself in an interview with LCI TV on Monday, saying she was participating in a discussion about how to get people to change their eating habits. “In fact, reducing the amount of meat is the most effective action against climate change from a personal perspective, even more so than the car,” he said. Men are more resistant than women to changing their diet, he claimed, while admitting he ate “small amounts” of red meat and was not a full vegetarian. “I’m bored… What are we ready to do? We just had a summer where we saw the real impact of climate change for the first time, and what are we prepared to do?” he said. The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change this year devoted a chapter of its climate solutions report to highlighting how consumers could drastically reduce global emissions. He also singled out switching to a plant-based diet instead of meat as one of the most effective changes people could make. But the biggest avoidable was the reduction of long-haul flights.

Rousseau cited the work of French author Nora Bouazzouni, author of the 2021 book Steaksisme, which explored attitudes towards food consumption. Bouazzouni argues that eating habits are not gendered—or driven by protein requirements—but instead are learned cultural behaviors. Health fears, higher prices and growing awareness of animal rights have led to a gradual decline in meat consumption in France since the late 1990s. But most French people remain proudly carnivores and the majority of students eat meat at least four days a week despite recent efforts to introduce vegetarian options. Rousseau has emerged as a leading figure in the EELV since she sought the party’s nomination in April’s presidential election promising “punk ecology”, although she lost to rival Yannick Jadot. Although the EELV fared poorly in the presidential and parliamentary elections this year, it won control of several major cities, including Lyon, at the local level in 2020. The mayor of Lyon, Grégory Doucet, caused another food-related scandal last year by removing meat from school canteen menus to simplify children’s nutrition during the Covid-19 outbreak. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin criticized the move as an “unacceptable insult” to French farmers and butchers.
