Read the above! Regenerative farming takes care of the methane “pollution”. Regenerative means grass fed cattle and not so much feedlot, feeding on grains. I ate a grass fed hamburger today. Yum! With some organic ketchup.

That nice Dubliner cheese will also become way to expensive for big box stores to stock.

This is insanity.

If interested, here is the 2013 UN report regarding their discussion on how livestock affects climate. They’ve been scheming for years.

I read somewhere that, although corned beef was popular with Irish immigrants in America, it was not something they had eaten in Ireland.

Probably because they rarely could eat meat in the old country.
