EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU's €45 billion a year Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) may be causing thousands of heart disease and stroke-related deaths each year by promoting fatty foods, according to a new British study published by the World Health Organisation.
Direct subsidies to farmers have led to massive overproduction of milk and beef in Europe, with the excess food then disposed of "principally as fats hidden in processed foods," the University of Liverpool research, published in the latest WHO journal, says.
The EU spends some €16 billion a year alone promoting milk production, of which €500 million a year goes on boosting domestic butter consumption, it explains.
"CAP...may now have become a hazard to public health throughout the EU and may be promoting inequalities in health through the types of food consumed. This might controversially be described as 'a system designed to kill Europeans through CHD [Coronary Heart Disease]'."
