A federal panel that helps set federal dietary guidelines is recommending Americans eat less meat because its better for the environment, sparking outrage from industry groups representing the nations purveyors of beef, pork and poultry.
The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, a federally appointed panel of nutritionists created in 1983, decided for the first time this year to factor in environmental sustainability in its recommendations. They include a finding that a diet lower in animal-based foods is not only healthier, but has less of an environmental impact.
The meat industry is lashing back, contending the panel has neither the authority nor the expertise to make such a judgment.

Nuke DC.
Dear Government...Just do what you’re suppose to do....protect us and coin money.
If they mean THIS Vega, then OK!.............
Gee, did they write the report before or after they did their “research”.
Pray America is waking
Heh. Spoilers really keep it stable when it hits 120 MPH !!!
/S
But I thoguth Vegeeta only ate meat....
I eat animals that eat Vegatables.
We can’t even get vegatables here in Boston Area grown in The United States. Mexico is the source of Produce it angers me to no end. I will not eat any vegatable grown in Mexico. I wish more people would complain about imports of food.
My opinion is Farmers are growing Corn to make ethanol instead of crops to eat.
I didn’t know that our planet ate, much less had particular dietary requirements.
Wow. And the dietician just put me on a high protein diet! As I told her the world of nutrition seems to be full of scams. Nobody knows how to eat properly anymore.

That only ever happens when driving down hill on steep grade with the roasd covered with black ice....
I am NOT eating that thing. It is far too poorly seasoned.
Actually, the whole EBT/WIC/foodstamp pile of issues can be resolved: there is now a complete (really complete, you can live on it indefinitely) meal replacement powder (add water, drink) that is, for obvious historic literary reasons, called Soylent http://www.soylent.me

Just go on a “ Vegan Diet “... Just hang out by the WHole Foods and ask the hippies there if they would like to save the planet by be invited to “dinner” at your house. Make sure not to mention that they will be the main dish FOR dinner...
Be careful not to get a Vegan who smokes dope or you will be taking an after dinner trip...
That looks like my old vega except the stripe was white.
“The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, a federally appointed panel of nutritionists created in 1983, decided for the first time this year to factor in environmental sustainability in its recommendations. “
Everything is a political agenda to the left.
“Soul crushing.”
Unless of course you happen to be part of the elite... aka a "civil servant".
It’s official: The Kommunists say the “health” of “Mother Earth” is more important than yours; you’re
gonna eat your gruel and you’re gonna like it, whether it kills you or not. After all, “Mother Earth” is oh
so much more important than puny humans.
(BTW, an actual vegan diet will in fact kill you, as the only natural source of B-12 is from animal-derived food products.)
