I don't know if this letter to the editor is a joke or sarcasm or what but it stuck out to me on a number of things.

They’ll have to pry my cheeseburger, ribeye, T bone, porterhouse, ribs, flank steak and glass of cabernet from my cold, dead, greasy fingers.

Unsaid in these rants is the fact that there are numerous people around the world who are "more carnivorous" than others and whose very lives depend on a regular supply of meat.

For them meat is not a luxury. For many of them whole grain diets are poisonous.

If more land is required to raise herd animals to feed such people then the sugar and starch eaters should be made to make way.

I’ve heard that sacred cows make the best hamburgers.

Beef has been on the leftist hitlist for awhile. They complain about methane and hormone suppliments. This is nothing new.

Beef was also directly responsible for WWI and WWII as well as allowing slavery to exist in America for several hundred years. It has caused billions and billions of deaths over the breadth of humanity and now it is changing global weather patterns. It must be stopped in our lifetime. How can we as human beings continue to allow cows to continue to expel gas unabated. Do we not care for our children? Something must be done! Aaaaaagh!

What is ignored is that prior to the US expanding westward, a herd estimated at upwards of 40 million bison roamed the central Great Plains. Given the weight of these large animals (a male bison can weigh over 2,500 pounds), when compared to the weight of cattle and the number of cattle, the Great Plains today are supporting just as much mass of animal meat as it historically sustained.

Given these facts, it is just silly to assert that cattle are bad for the planet.

...Each one of us can demonstrate our own outrage with beef production on our next trip to the supermarket...

I can do my part by switching to pork.

I may not agree with eating red meat, but I will defend to the death your right to clog your arteries and get heart disease. :-)

In the meantime, each one of us can demonstrate our own outrage with beef production on our next trip to the supermarket by selecting from the rich variety of soy-and-plant-based meat alternatives in the frozen foods and produce sections.

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! On second thought, pass the burgers, already!

I think they were protesting US beef because of mad cow disease and the fact that the US has the most lax testing and oversight. It has nothing to do with the environment or green house gases, etc.

Just put a tax on it.
That should fix it.

I wonder if the guy who wrote this, if serious, is really in Dodge City, or has even ever been to Dodge City?? It’s not the place I’d pick to complain about beef.

I also wonder if someone who complains about how much land it takes to raise cattle has ever spent any time in areas where lots of cattle are raised. Some, though of course not all, ranch land really isn’t suitable for much of anything else.

I think I’ll have a steak for supper tonight.
