Cory Booker: ‘This Planet Simply Can’t Sustain’ People Eating Meat
Democrat 2020 hopeful is vegan because eating eggs 'didn't align with my spirit'

Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) said the planet "can't sustain" people eating meat, as the 2020 hopeful aims to become the first vegan president.
Booker told the vegan magazine VegNews earlier this month that he became vegan after coming to the realization that eating eggs "didn't align with my spirit."
While claiming he does not want to lecture Americans on their diets, Booker says Americans need to be nudged into fake cheese because the planet cannot sustain the "environmental impact" of the food industry.
"You see the planet earth moving towards what is the Standard American Diet," Booker said. "We've seen this massive increase in consumption of meat produced by the industrial animal agriculture industry."
"The tragic reality is this planet simply can't sustain billions of people consuming industrially produced animal agriculture because of environmental impact," he said. "It's just not possible."
Booker says the "devastating impact" of greenhouse gases produced by the meat industry is "just not practical."
"The numbers just don't add up," he said. "We will destroy our planet unless we start figuring out a better way forward when it comes to our climate change and our environment."
Booker, who said his vegan "journey" began in 1992 when he became a vegetarian after reading Gandhi's biography, wants to make the "existing model" of the food industry "obsolete."

Well, “Buzz off........” is one way to say it. LOL
Meat eaters, being shamed by vegans? Not in my sphere.
Booker is more about killing an industry than seriously having concern over the planet. I feel sick when looking at ALL of the potential Democrap candidates that are lining up for 2020.
Mark Kelly? Are you serious?
He is the poster boy for “don’t spend too much time in space, it destroys brain cells” campaign.
So this guy wants to become president of America? He does realize that doesn’t he? I mean, come on! Stupid left-coast elitist.
This guy is way out there! I cannot imagine a person who’s brain works that way.

Does it work both ways- meat ( Bears, Cats, Dogs) eating people?
Wow. It's getting harder and harder to be "authentic."

Spartacus wasn’t a Vegan, but he did eat Kosher.
At least the guy who played Spartacus in the Movie did.
