NYT Op-Ed: ‘Stop Eating Animals’ If You Care About Climate Change, Racial Justice and Working Poor

What is it with liberal outlets and their apparent virtue-signaling obsession with eliminating meat from our diets? The New York Times published a wacky op-ed headlined “The End of Meat Is Here.” In the sub-headline, author Jonathan Safran Foer grumbled that “If you care about the working poor, about racial justice, and about climate change, you have to stop eating animals.” [Emphasis added.] Only leftists like Foer would know how to make that nonsensical connection.

As if the NYC elite would ever give up their foie gras, leather boots and down jackets.

And if I don’t care about your imaginary crises?

[TnTnTn]

Oh yeah...right away...

[Mariner]

Pekid, B-12 and protein deficient commies are not much of a threat.

[Kickass Conservative]

Tell that to the Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my.

“I’ll have fries with my burger, what were saying about not eating what now?”

“If You Care About Climate Change, Racial Justice and Working Poor”

...good thing I don’t give a rats ass about any of those!

"racial justice"

What the hell is he talking about? Some of the great BBQ chefs have been African American, and African Americans and Hispanics and Chinese like meat as much as anyone else.

I’d go get a steak to celebrate their stupidity, but I still have a freezer full of venison. I’ll have a backstrap for dinner tonight though.

Nope don’t car-e animals are tasty- will continue eating them- just can’t stand the thought of screaming plant life that is eaten raw-

[DeplorablePaul]

I bought a small freezer so I could stock up on meat. I’m not worried that meat won’t be available but during a shortage, the price will go up. I’m keeping my eye on the price.

Two other points. Meat is an efficient (and tasty) source of protein. Soy bean? Not so much.

There is no such thing as a climate crisis. Only failed computer models.

Just finished a nice sirloin strip steak for lunch. Delish.

Not me. I like eating animals. And I don’t care about climate change. If a dead animal is good enough for Peter to eat, they are good enough for me. In the New Testament, God said to Peter, “Arise Peter, kill and eat.” That is all I need to know about eating animals.

[outofsalt]

When I get home tonight I’m going to pour myself a ribeye.

[beethovenfan]

And just how does that affect the climate? No answer? Didn’t think so.

[Sirius Lee]

I don’t care about any of those things. Is that wrong?

[SaxxonWoods]

OK, I won’t stop eating animals then. Humans are omnivores and have been for eons. I don’t deny science.

[Grampa Dave]

More good news for our side.
