How many servings of global warming have you eaten today?

The Left now wants to label food according to how much it causes global warming. Really.

The nation’s top nutritional panel is recommending for the first time that Americans consider the impact on the environment when they are choosing what to eat, a move that defied a warning from Congress and, if enacted, could discourage people from eating red meat.

I quit eating glo-bull warming back in the early 1960s when we were warned about all the fallout from atomic tests in it.

Exactly! Isn’t that what Jim Jones did with his followers? Withheld protein from their diets. Made them easier to control. And they all drank his Kool-Aid and died.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Please, don’t forget your massive kale (Cabbage/Broccoli/Cauliflower) supplement with that chili.

FR doesn’t need you under-achieving.

I knew I had forgotten something this morning... I just pulled a big roast out of the freezer.
Thanks!

These people are nuts. All this is about is the controlling of private property. As George Will noted,
“Environmentalism IS socialism.”

It takes more water to produce a pound of rice than a pound of beef. The methane cycle is a sub-cycle of the carbon cycle. Methane breaks down very quickly. Cows produce methane by belching, regurgitating their food, not by farting. All ruminant regurgitate (deer, buffalo, goats, llamas, sheep, etc). IF the grass is not consumed by cattle it goes stagnant and is less productive, less able to store carbon. Grazed fields are healthy fields. A well managed pasture is a greater carbon sink than a forest.

Don’t believe their numbers, they are horribly skewed. They claim an egg take 50 gallons of water to produce. I had 20 hens laying an average of two eggs a day and they went through no more than 5 gallons a week, not 14000. Even if you consider the water in their grain and mash or to produce it (they had a little over a pound and a half a day) there is no way you can arrive at the number. These people will claim a pound of beef takes anywhere between 840-12,000 gallons of water. Right now on 60 acres I have 14 head and they will gain 1000 pds each this year. I am not pumping over 11 million gallons a year. Even taking into account the yearly rainfall, about 2 million gallons on 60 acres there is no way these numbers add up. Not even close.

So you will excuse me if I doubt the numbers they have for carbon in the atmosphere. By the way, next time someone starts talking carbon in the atmosphere, ask them what are the major gases making up the earth’s atmosphere and what are those percentage?. Most cannot answer. If a doctor told you your blood sugar or white cells were too high but could not tell you what your blood was comprised of would you listen to him?

The perfect alignment of two hoaxes perpetrated by our all knowing betters.

Fat is bad.
The world is warming.

Both utterly debunked but now have cult status.

What is “noodle salad”-I don’t eat noodles and other carbs like that-but I’ve never seen a noodle salad. Try salad greens with fresh-not canned-veggies, egg and cheese, and topped with plenty of leftover grilled chicken or other meat-it is a delicious way to contribute to warming...

Planters, harvesters, spreading pesticides, etc... lots more eeeeevil fossil fuel burning involved with getting veggies ready to go to market than in having beef and chickens walking around a grassy field for a few years.

They claim an egg take 50 gallons of water to produce.

Which also ignores the basic fact that the water molecules are not destroyed whatsoever in this process. ZERO water is lost, and is 100 percent recycled from nature back into nature, as it has for millions of years.

I love noodles and noodle salad.

Eat delicious noodles and don’t forget to regularly exercise, which is an even better way to increase globull warming.

It looks interesting, but pasta does not appeal...

I work in construction and hike in the woods-I’m below my ideal weight, and have plenty of energy. But I don’t like/eat pasta or any other processed food-I do the paleo diet thing heavy on meat protein and only fresh veggies-that works best for me.

That is certainly true, but it would just make too much sense for these people to see it because it would require that they remove their heads from their asses...

You probably should avoid wines from the early 1960s too. Somebody tried to sell bottles of vintage wine using wine from the last year of nuclear testing, and even a run of the mill radiation detector picked it out as a fake without opening any of the bottles.

Nutritionists warn of dangers in Paleo dieting
“Two major hazards associated with the Paleo diet are the high content of red meat and the lack of wholegrains” she says. “Cancer experts rate a high intake of meat as a convincing cause of bowel cancer while wholegrains reduce the risk. These two factors also increase long-term risk of heart disease.”

“ZERO water is lost”

Or as Rambo would say, “It’s never over!”

Energy is only transferred, never create or destroyed. Like wise everything that is on the periodic table is (with rare exception). All the oxygen that is, is, etc. In fact, most of the carbon, certainly all of the carbon that is oil, was in the atmosphere at one time and is now sequestered in oil, plants, rocks, etc.

Nope-I’m not chicken little, and the sky won’t fall if you eat meat rather than starch. The same type of “experts” put together the now-debunked food pyramid that started this whole high carb-little meat dogma that is one of the big reasons we have an obesity problem. I was brought up on a ranch, eat fresh food like the rest of my family-it may be good genes-no one has gotten or died of cancer that I’ve heard about, and the women can look forward to at least 90. Most of us don’t do drugs of any kind, either-the ones who do tend expire at an earlier age...

The cancer experts would be out of work if they ever found a cure-same for other diseases related to obesity like diabetes and heart problems, but I hope that there are still people who want to find cures, even if they make less money.

When I eat starch, it is always wholegrain bread-and I bake it myself. I barter most of it for fresh eggs, honey and such.

The pasta you posted the link to looks like the white flour kind-not wholegrain-regular pasta like that is a bleached, processed food-like white rice, and most of the real nutrients have been scrubbed away, leaving empty calories and carbs to make you fat.

I realize that we are all different, and that fresh produce and free range livestock is not readily available to everyone in cities all the time-but I live in the country, where we grow our own natural stuff and free range the food animals.

You eat your way, and I’ll eat mine-and I trust the diet my ancestors have eaten since they were goat herders and farmers in the Spanish Pyrenees-not for everyone, but it works for me.
