Activists warn of 'chilling effect' of EPA's deletion of tweet on eating less red meat

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had tweeted advice on cutting down on red meat 'slowly' by trying more vegetarian options and being more 'adventurous'. 

The deletion by the environmental watchdog of a tweet advising people to cut down on red meat after farming organisation complaints, could have a "disastrous chilling effect" on emissions and consumption reduction targets, activists have warned.
