Well, I think I'm going to go out and cook a beef roast on a wood fire tonight. A little late, but it's for a good cause!

[Always Right]

Wow, and here I thought tire guages have already solved all our energy and global warming problems.

[sidewinder009]

What? UN still exists ?? MAybe we should turn off electricity to UN headquarters to reduce global warming.

[onlylewis]

I grilled steak and chicken last weekend and grilled again tonight. Man it was so good. I’ll do it every time I can.

[Ouderkirk]

if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change

I don't want to make any MORE sacrifices for the UN.

UN out of the US

US out of the UN

[lilylangtree]

Wasn’t there a report somewhere out that said cow dung produces methane gas. If there’s global warming, wouldn’t one need to eat meat to end methane gas. Just pondering. :)

[SandRat]

[El Cid]

El Cid says that disbanding the UN will significantly reduce Global Warming.

C'mon, lets do it for the chidrun...

[Redbob]

I’m sorry, but I’m a meatatarian;
it’s a commitment I’ve made...

[freekitty]

No way. I am from Texas and I eat my beef.

[tbpiper]

It seems to me that if we replace the beef with the protien equivalent in beans, we will not have mitigated the methane problem at all but just shifted the blame from cow flatulence to vegan flatualance. Pretty soon, every family dinner will look like the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles.

[Mr. Mojo]

The UN — definitely not mooseburger-friendly.

[mad_as_he$$]

Less UN would also curb globull warming.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Wow, first post I've read since dinner.

I had a fillet of moose that Palin killed by winking at it cooked over a fire with the wood from the trees that Berkeley just cut down.

[FlingWingFlyer]

UN says eat less meat to curb global warming

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We already know. Your boy Zerobama already told us. And we're supposed to contact you guys when we want to drive our SUV. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[BunnySlippers]

They are not going to be happy until we’re vegetarians wearing togas and sandals ... and living in tee pees.

[BuffaloJack]

The UN has been chewing cud for years. Now they want us to. Sorry but veggies is what food eats.

[Gator113]

Save The World...Eat Nobel Prize Winners.

What a bunch of fruitcakes.

They can have my meat when they take it from my cold dead hands.......

[InterceptPoint]

Sacrifice. That is all these guy understand. Now they are not talking about themselves, mind you, they are talking about you and me. Sacrifice.

No thanks.

[pointsal]

Gosh....I forgot...Where is old Kofi Anan these days?

What resort community does he call home now that he is out of the money trough?

[lmsii]

Your should have said “fart” alert, not “barf” alert. Everyone knows that eating meat causes greenhouse gasses . . . as does lentils, grains, greens . . . heck everything causes greenhouse gasses.

On the other hand, maybe we need to eat more of that stuff, preferably grilled, since sun spot activity has just about ceased. I think its going to get cold.

[kb2614]

Yea, alright U.N., I’ll keep that in mind as I throw some pork chops in the skillet tonight.

[Malone LaVeigh]

[steelyourfaith]





Beam me to Planet Gore !


[BobbyT]

I know it might be hard for those of us already on the carnivore end of the diet scale, but if we really try I'm sure we can double up on meat to cancel out the handful of idiots that actually follow UN orders.

[littlehouse36]

News staffers at the RNC said they were happy to be there with real vittles! The DNC tried to go healthy and served celery sticks, etc.

(Heard it on my radio news.)

[count-your-change]

For the sake of the planet I’ve given up the $70/lb. custom Kobe beef steaks. It was tough but if that’s what it takes....

[BigCinBigD]

Think I’ll order a nice steak at work for dinner tonight.

[Bishop_Malachi]

Once the word of this gets out, I wonder how many people in the meat industry will be voting for liberals in any party (and in any country) in the world.

[hunter112]

Anybody gonna tell the UN what they can eat?

[Question Liberal Authority]

When plants decay, they create methane gas which is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

The obvious solution is to feed all plant material to animals, and then eat the animals.

A small tub of lard contains approximately as many calories (IE, food energy) as an olympic sized swimming pool filled with green leafy vegetables. If we are to fight global warming through our diet, then the sale of green leafy vegetables should cease immediately.

The most calorically dense food which leaves the smallest carbon footprint in the world is WHALE BLUBBER, though whale meat is a good by-product of harvesting blubber, and other sea creatures are a rich, low-carbon-footprint protein source.

The land-based protein source which uses the smallest amount land/labor/capital to produce is insects and other bugs. If we are serious about conserving resources to reduce global warming, then we should immediately demand an insect-based diet as part of our food supply.

[tiki]

The real truth is that you would be less intrusive on the environment if you ate more meat. Growing ARUGULA takes a lot of land, mechanized machinery and manpower, especially if you take into account and compare the nutrients and the calories.

Much of the beef is backgrounded on lands that are marginal and then fattened for a short time before going to market.

[navyguy]

Yeah, that’s great, UN. Lets just reduce our meat consumption by 1 day a week... and screw the farmers and ranchers who will take a 1/7th reduction in revenue for it. Yeah, that’s a great idea.

Here’s another great idea, Mr. UN. How’s about you and your leaf eating Gia slaves do everyone a favor and link arms and head down to the Soilent Green factory. How’s that hit ya? Ya like that idea?

Pass the steak sauce.

[ThomasThomas]

If I eat less meat and it dose stop globule warming. Where will I get my leather coat to wear because it is so cold?

[ViLaLuz]

Global warming is an excuse the global elites are using to take control over us. This is one way they will take control of the food supply.

[Titan Magroyne]

“The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are generated during the production of animal feeds, for example...”

Right. And the Good People of Earth will generate crop substitutes for meat by doing what, exactly?

Er.

Tilling the soil, perhaps?

Consider the animal by-products that currently find their way into manufacturing. Be ready to clearcut more trees and drain more wetlands to substitute plant by-products. It’s perfectly OK. The aboriginals won’t mind giving up their land. And in the remote possibility they protest, well, the new cropland will need fertilizer, Comrade.

[dalereed]

“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change,”

I’ll have meat at every meal thank you.

I’ll also just go drive around just to be driving around to counter some of the freaks tht believe that AH!

My footprint will be bigger than yours no matter what you do!

[The_Reader_David]

People should have two meat-free days most weeks, and a long stretch of them before Pascha and Christimas, and shorter stretches before the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul and the Dormition of the Theotokos. Oh, and lay off the stuff on January 5th, August 29th and Sept. 14th as well (on whichever calendar you’re using).

Of course, don’t forget to eat meat all week the week after Pascha and from Christmas to the Vigil of Theophany, and during the week following the Sunday of the Pharisee and the Publican.

Unless of course you’re a monk or a nun, in which case you should lay off the stuff entirely (except fish).

[:-)====

(That’s an Orthodox Christian monastic smiley, in case you’ve not seen it before. Of course, implicit in my suggestion is the idea that the whole of humanity would be better off embracing the original-issue version of Christianity—now usually called Eastern Orthodoxy—and keeping the fasts.)
