European Union (EU) agriculture ministers are convening on Monday, July 15, to discuss the impact of insect-based foods, plant-based foods, and lab-grown meat on Europe’s culinary traditions. Hungary, which is operating the rotating presidency of the EU under the Donald J. Trump-inspired slogan ‘Make Europe Great Again,’ is organizing the meeting.
The Hungarian Council Presidency believes meat and dairy are integral to European food culture, arguing: “When we talk about European food traditions… we think about roquefort, paella, pierogi, pizza”—as opposed to bug burgers and “meat” cultured in a laboratory.
