For years, the government has been issuing guidelines about healthy eating choices. Now, a panel that advises the Agriculture Department is ready to recommend that you be told not only what foods are better for your own health, but for the environment as well.

That means that when the latest version of the government's dietary guidelines comes out, it may push even harder than it has in recent years for people to choose more fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and other plant-based foods — at the expense of meat....

Meanwhile, the elites eat Wagyu steaks and lobster like they're going out of style.

Bonus points for saving the environment by eating only Soylent Green.

Right. Probably they'll be an app for that soon.

And one that surcharges based upon your body mass for how much heat and air condition you consume in public buildings...

Oh

[9thLife]

they’ll > there’ll

I see the government is yet again placing certain industries on the enemies list.

The funny thing about that single, the song that immediately followed it on the album was:

Life is Hard.

Typical leftists speaking out of both sides of their mouths.

[9thLife]

that was a pretty fun flick.

I am sure the Bambams followed the new guidelines when they sat down for their recent $1000 dinner.

Thank goodness we didn’t get any pix of Michelle and Barry shoveling the food into their mouths — while millions of public school children go hungry on Michelle’s public school lunch guidelines.

I saw it in the theater when it came out. I especially liked Sandra Bullock in those spandex pants.

Good for the environment, okay for you!

[Darksheare]

“Let them eat cake” dept of aggroculture style?

[9thLife]

Indeed. That movie made me Sandra Bullock fan.

The USDA has been waging guerilla war against the meat industryfor a number of years. Just look at their guidelines for doneness of meat. All of the suggested internal temperatures are about 20 degrees higher than they should be. Using them assures horribly overdone meat that’s almost inedible.

They’ll be pushing insects soon as well.

Funny! I’m watching Demolition Man right now.
