I can see at the cashier, after swiping my card for purchase a readout saying, “Purchase denied, remove meat items from your order.”
Upon seeing that, you decide to pay by cash and the cashier says, “We no longer accept cash.”
Backyard chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, aquaponics, pigeons, feral hogs, suburban whitetails ....
Can we bring Treason back for supporting Communism? I think these people deserve the death penalty!
They don’t want us using THAT, either.
Ethanol!
Another looney liberal idea.
(anyone notice a trend here?)
How long? That would be just before those arresting people are hunted down like dogs.
That’s a she?
Borsch and rye bread. Keep you weak enough to not riot.
This carnivore has a dietary suggestion for the committee which serves as my response to their nanny-state suggestion: “Eat s*** and die!”
Soylent Green here we come - the ultimate in environmental protection...
Low protein = Low brain function.....
Will someone please post this cunt’s email address
My diet IS plant bases...cows eat the plants, I eat the cows.
Treating us like cattle.
I love vegetables...most of them at least...and always have.I love fruits and grains as well.But nobody,not even my doctor,will ever get me to give up beef,chicken,pork or lamb.
Guaranteed!
People need calories. Calories are especially important for development of young, immature brains. Meat is called ‘brain food’ for a reason. Meat products are calorie-rich, vitamin-rich foods. Lettuce is not a calorie-rich food and one must eat a variety of produce to ingest the same variety of vitamins or amount of protein found in a single 3-oz serving of meat. And if the produce isn’t fresh, then even more has to be ingested.
Meat on the hoof is water-efficient (one to two gallons per day per hundredweight), labor-efficient and requires no fertilizer or insecticides (unless you count fly sprays). Their urine is a weedicide and their excrement is a rich fertilizer. All parts of meat carcasses can be used for food or fertilizer products, so there is no waste.
Many crops are water-intensive and only a small part of the plant can be consumed as food, so much more water is wasted in unuseable slash.
Crops generally require huge amounts of land, labor, farm equipment, fertilizer, weedicides, and insecticides to produce the same amount of calories as a single steer provides. In California, for instance, the almond crop and peach crops require transport and import of over 80% of all honeybees in the USA just for pollination. Meat products don’t need bees or a lot of farm equipment, and can produce more calories and more vitamins on less land.
Not all produce lends itself to preservation and most preservation is labor-intensive. Produce spoils readily, and so most produce is picked unripe, sprayed with chemicals to bring on color and then cold-stored for months, degrading vitamins and flavor but enabling transport to supermarket shelves. Meat preserves beautifully and so is a sensible food source. Beef is not ‘picked green’ and, unlike vegetables, ageing beef can improve the flavor.
Humans are carnivores. We have carnivore teeth. Our teeth are made to shred, not grind. Our stomach and intestines are made to process meat. Would you feed a lion oatmeal? Or a shark tofu? Then why try to force humans into an unnatural and unhealthy diet? Eat meat and save the planet!
