Remember the campaign against smokers? It started quietly and grew to hysteria. From bans to added taxes, smokers were left to wonder what hit them. Tobacco was (and continues to be) a legal substance. Now, following the same pattern, a push has started against red meat.

Reading on the internet..I see where there is a rumble on about red meat. Like the smokers..the studies that do not condemn the meat eaters..are kinda getting "lost".

If God did not want us to eat animals, He would not have made them out of meat.

They can have my 2” thick New York sirloin when they can pry it from my greasy, cold dead hands.

Human beings refusing to eat meat is akin to a robin that refuses to consume worms.

LOL..I’m with you. As the article says..they have this timed out really well with the prices of grain and hay. The breeders are starting to get sent to the slaughter houses..that’s going to hurt in another year.

Oh, no. They’re going to ban meat in public places. Guess I’ll have to order the meat from the ad on Rush’s web site.

I kinda hope they do carry forward with this. Then maybe I’ll get the “sin” taxes taken off my cigarette purchases.

Taste of your own medicine could never be quite as sweet.

I’m sorry, but cigarette smoke smells disgusting. It doesn’t even taste good. It discolors your teeth. It gives you cancer. It lingers in the furniture. It harms those around you.

Red meat, on the other hand, smells amazing, tastes amazing, and is adored by millions. Vegetarians will always be labeled freaks by meat-eatars, and for good reason: who is dumb enough to give up something so tasty?

On the other side, lean red meat is just fine for you. It’s a good source of protein, and lean beef has less fat than a turkey burger, anyway.

Nobody is touching beef any time soon. There’s not even close to enough scientific studies linking it to anything to even start down that road.

“If God did not want us to eat animals, He would not have made them out of meat.”

Nor would He have given us such strong teeth!

People will order from the Internet rather than walk through the aisles of the grocery where they can be branded as meat eaters.
