I think there is a way for L.A. residents to eat meat on Mondays without harming the environment. Just remove the brains of all Dem voters and cook them for supper. They’re not being used anyway, and the ones that are used are pretty devoid of weighty matter.

If Hemingway were alive today, would he really still be a liberal? Perhaps there would be a story with Nick Adams undergoing a sex change....

re: unsustainable

The IMF defines a national economy as "unsustainable" if its total debt is over 125% of its GDP. The US mostly wavered between 25% and 40% for most of the post-WWII era. It was 41% when Pelosi and Reid took over. The 2011 estimate is at 105% (~$16 T in a ~$15 T economy), and Obama feels a mandate to keep on spending. Only 11 nations (out of 242) have a higher figure. Sudan is just behind us at 103%. Ahead of us are Zimbabwe, Jamaica, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Iceland, St Kitts, Antigua, Japan (whose recession and shrinking economy are now making global news), Lebanon, and Portugal. Great company, eh?

Germany and the EU are both still around 83%, and we mocked the for many years for over-spending on their Socialist Dreams.

Really? This is the biggest problem facing LA?

If we didn’t eat meat, then cows, pigs, and chickens would become endangered species. THEN what would they do???????

Oh, I’m sure the Latinos are going to give up their beef burritos. /s

This is where the White liberals start to overreach and start pissing off the blacks and Latinos.

It is just a matter of time before these initiatives become compulsory. "Sustainability" is as much of a neo-Marxist buzzword as is "tolerance" and "compassion". Much oppression can be justified in the name of "sustainability".

Beware the "auditors" and the "redistributers". They are coming to the USA as surely as tomorrow's sunrise.

I'll see your Meatless Mondays and raise you Taxless Tuesdays.

I guess they decided upon Monday vs. Friday so they wouldn’t be confused with the “old” Catholic Church...I grew up eating fish on Fridays.

Our nation has been far too successful.

[lowbridge]

Today voluntary. Tomorrow mandatory. Which is just as well. Very soon, the way the California and American economy is being handled, nobody will be able to afford meat on Mondays.

Or Tuesdays. Or Wednesdays. Or...

“WE THE PEOPLE” Need to bring back the time honored practice of running elected and unelected Tyrants in all levels of government out of town on a rail. Who made that Tyrant Food Queen? I'd eat a pork sandwich and spit it in her face if she tried to stop me from eating meat.
