UN Wants to Grab That Burger Right Out of Your Hands
Sure they do
Let em try.
This has been the agenda for quite a while. They just haven’t been public about it.
Go Vegan - Halve Your Lifespan!
Yeah, like over my dead rare T-bone they can just try it!
Bin Laden picked the worong building.
Note to the UN: Try it and draw back a nub...
Graybeard says, "PETA can go to hell" and that carries just as much authority as PETA's proclamations.
I hate chicken. Ban chicken now! Or better yet, tax it out of existence.
Love your bumper sticker! As a celiac, I eat a fairly large amount of meat as a primary protein source. I’ll be dipped in balloon juice before I’ll let anyone keep me from eating meat, especially wafflebrains of the UN or the left in general. Same goes for my kids.
“the rising popularity of this crazy diet because 1 percent of the population”
And Tea Party members are a lunatic “fringe?”
There isn’t a shred of *objective* scientific evidence that supports the idea that a vegetarian or vegan diet is healthier than a balanced diet.
While many studies purport to show just that, a closer look at the methodologies reveals that they are only looking at a short term effect in parametrics such as triglyceride level changes when study subjects switch from an omnivorous to a vegetarian/vegan diet. But looking at their diets before and after, one quickly realizes that there is no basis on which to compare the before and after diets. For example, in one study, the subjects typically ate danishes for breakfast, cheeseburgers and fries for lunch, and buttery mashed potatoes, chicken fried steaks, and biscuits drenched in gravy for dinner... of course the vegetarian diet was an improvement.
There are also studies that show that children raised on strictly vegetarian diets simply do not do as well as children fed balanced diets. One study in particular showed that children on vegetarian diets otherwise receiving comparable nutrients and calories intellectually lagged behind the control group consuming animal products—and the intellectual lag remained even when they were switched to a balanced diet. In other words, their intellectual deficit was permanent.
The idea that animals raised for food and other products are somehow environmentally damaging is ludicrous. Animals have been a part of the ecosystem forever; by what logic are they suddenly an environmental hazard? There is NO criteria by which a cow is environmentally damaging, but a buffalo is not.
Last, since the animals we raise for food eat many plants that we can’t, and those plants grow in places that are marginal for growing plants that humans can consume directly—is there even enough arable land to grow the huge increase in edible plants that would be required for such a diet change on such a massive scale? How much wildlife habitat would be lost in trying to develop the arable land?
This whole idea only shows the stupidity of trying to base policy on political ideas instead of empirical evidence.
Sorry, I’m taken.
Even their statistics about “(X) pounds of grain to produce a pound of meant...” are, at best, half truths. They omit the fact that meat is a much more concentrated source of protein.
Estrogen poisoning, from eating all that tofu, is the most likely explanation for their madness.
The only thing for sure is that the elites will continue to eat their Chilean Sea Bass and Wagyu beef; it’s us peasants that will have to eat what we’re told.
Cannibalism is kosher for environmentalists. Thank God they don’t have guns.
More steak for me, then.
