Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya and his Micro Politics


Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya (GMOA) has commented in support of banning cow slaughter. This post is meant to highlight the 'micro politics' hidden in his opinion on consumption of beef.

The Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) should concern about all the issues that are detrimental to the physical health of the people of this country.
Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya cited evidence from the World Health Organization that #RED_MEAT is the cause of the deadly cancer.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested that red meat may be a risk factor for cancer.
In his media briefing Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya carefully puts forward his words in the opinion that as beef is only red the meat.
The World Health Organization defines red meat as follows:
// Red meat refers to all mammalian muscle meat, including, beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse, and goat. //
If Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya is concerned about saving the people of this country from cancer, he should also mention the danger in consuming things like red meat pork and mutton. But he did not open his mouth about pork and mutton.
Dr. Anuruddha is implicitly saying that 'we have no problem eating pork and mutton even though these are red meat.' We all know the ‘politics’ behind Anuruddha Padeniya's hard work to convince people that beef is the only red meat.
The government has decided to import beef from abroad. If beef is imported from abroad, will it not cause cancer? He should also clarify in this regard.
Everyone agrees with the Dr. Anuruddha's opinion that should save the country from cancer. We respect the World Health Organization's slogan of abstaining from red meat.
But we reject the politics of the Government Medical Officer’s Association (GMOA) which makes indirect racist politics by giving wrong meaning that cancer causes only from beef.
