7,311 Former President Barack Obama warned the world that more people on the planet were eating meat, causing a dramatic rise in climate emissions.
“As people want to increase meat consumption, that in turn is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sector,” Obama said, pointing to countries that were consuming more meat.
The former president shared his views about the growing threat during a conversation about food with his former chef Sam Kass at a food innovation summit in Milan.
“People aren’t as familiar with the impact of cows and methane,” Obama said, adding that “as people want to increase more meat consumption, that in turn is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sectors.”
The amount of cows, Obama explained, were contributing to global pollution, alluding to the amounts of methane gas emissions from cow herds.
“No matter what, we are going to see an increase in meat consumption,” Obama said, pointing to developing economies in China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. More advanced countries, Obama said, would have to teach people to “have a smaller steak” and explore reductions to their meat consumption.
“What it does mean is that we’re also going to have to find ways to produce protein in a more efficient way,” he said.
During the conversation, Obama argued with Kass about how many steaks he had cooked him.
Kass said that he probably cooked “thousands of steaks” for the president, but Obama interrupted.
“I don’t think, thousands,” he protested.
“Well hundreds maybe,” Kass backtracked. “I’ve been cooking for you for 10 years.”
“What is true is that I’m not a vegetarian,” Obama admitted, adding that he “respected vegetarians” but continued to eat meat.

Because apparently vegetarians don't fart from all of those beans and greens... < /sarc >
So does rump-ranging in Chicago bath-houses.
Save the planet- eat smaller steaks!
Because Obama!
Hey Barry, if you want to reduce the production of methane, how about you shut your fat mouth?
But then, if I was swindling $3 million for a 10 minute speech from a bunch of morons, I would talk about fake science also.
What a bunch of Bullshevik!
Obama admitted, adding that he “respected vegetarians” but continued to eat meat.
I'll just bet he does. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm...
He certainly has a taste for Kobe beef, especially when the taxpayers were picking up the tab, friggin’ Kenyan HYPOCRITE!!! Let him go to Kenya and convince the Masai to stop raising cattle!!! /s;)
Since the muslim said that, I have to make it a point to eat steak tomorrow, even if it is between two pieces of bread. I will even add a piece of cheese for good measure. I have to do my part for climate change.
I switch off occasionally from steak to poultry. Which brings to mind a question; do chickens fart?
Cows with guns

He ought to tell Mooch
Every time I cut one loose after eating a serloin, I will think of you Barack!
I prefer mine Santa Maria style....over Coastal red oak.
Garlic salt and pepper is seasoning enough.
I have steak once a week. Works out pretty good.
nothing like a multi millionaire ex-preezy whining about steak now that he has to pay for his own $50 a pound premium beef instead of the taxpayers. Will the mooch come out now and say lobster shouldn’t be eaten too ?
I rub Mrs. Dash on mine, and top it off lightly with kosher salt. Mrs. Dash is supposed to be low salt, but I like the herbs in the mixture.
And, in true (D) hypocrite fashion, the Kobe beef he eats comes from cows that live longer, and therefore generate more CO2 than the common beef we peons eat here.
Tajima cattle are fattened longer, living about 26 to 32 months, compared to 18 months for US beef cattle.
And they are not even nice to the cows. ...in Japan cattle are "confined in small pens and given much more energy-dense feed"
I see he’s out and about with his gay chef Sam.
Steak? I thought Barry preferred dog?
He echos the fascist vegan dogma of
starvation. Beans and legumes are toxic for me, but Obama wants us dead not eating meat.
Just like his communist soul brothers, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez, and Maduro, Obola lusts to mass starve his critics to death. That subhuman piece of pig excrement (deliberate insult to his true religion) is now and has always been pure evil ever since his evil whore of a mother shat him.
