Head of Norwegian Dietary Advice Criticizes Minister for Casting Doubt on Professional Advice

The Directorate of Health’s head of the Norwegian dietary advice criticizes the Minister of Agriculture and Food for casting doubt on professional advice. – It is scary if we move in that direction, she says.

– We are a specialist directorate that works with knowledge. We don’t think of a number, says Linda Granlund.

It is one of the rarities that bureaucrats from professional directorates go out against sitting state councillors. But division director Granlund in the Directorate of Health will not let Sandra Borch’s statements in Aftenposten about the dietary advice go unchallenged.
