Granholm doesn't budge as argument over Meat Out Day proclamation continues
on the list ^ | 3-18-10 | un-nameable

Posted on 03/19/2010 3:51:52 PM PDT by dynachrome

Granholm said Thursday that she won’t rescind her proclamation urging Michiganders to forgo meat-eating on Saturday, even as new demands arrived in her office from state cattlemen.

Gary Voogt, a beef producer from Marne and past president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, asked Granholm to “admit you got flimflammed by an animal rights activist group, Governor, it is time to, as we say, cowboy up.”

• COMPLETE VERSION: Read Voogt's full letter to Granholm

Voogt gave Granholm his meaty menu for Saturday: Breakfast: bacon, eggs and potatoes fried in the bacon grease, blueberries, yogurt and apple juice;

Lunch: steak stew or chili and apple;

Dinner: 18-ounce bone-in ribeye steak. Defenders of the meat-out proclamation also chimed in.

In an e-mail to the Free Press, Jerry Schneble, director of the metro Detroit nonprofit Totally Vegetarian who said he sought the proclamation, didn’t like being called a “food elitist” by agriculture defenders.

Saturday? Hell, we Catholics have had the no meat Fridays concession for a long, long, time. So Granholm is trying to set up a store next door on Saturdays?

Saturday night steaks on the grill (at my house in Michigan). Going to the butcher’s tomorrow for a couple of thick Porterhouses and mushrooms, a nice green salad and a red wine.

What do we expect from our governor? She hasn’t made a right move in over seven years, why start now?

You’re good with graphics, right? Maybe it could say “Michigan Ping” at the top and then “Let them eat lutefisk” at the bottom—can’t think of too many foods that are distinctly mitten.

No, but I got it from the page source or whatever it’s called. One of the very, very few tricks I’ve learned over the years.
