Meat Wars <p> Why Right-Wingers Are So Afraid of Men Eating Vegetables
New Republic ^ | 4/17/23 | https://newrepublic.com/authors/gabriel-n-rosenberg

“‘Eat bugs, live in a pod,’ is not a meme. It’s their real agenda,” tweeted the conservative provocateur Mike Cernovich to 1.1 million followers last month. The tweet was responding to an anodyne Economist story about the role of meat consumption in global climate emissions. And unless you’re deep into online culture, it’s probably incomprehensible.

Conservatives’ darker fantasies aren’t just about threats to a dietary staple but about threats to the liberty, bodily integrity, and masculinity of American men.

I love vegetables, I also love meat. I find it funny that those of us that are open to all kinds of things are the weird ones but those that can only one thing are somehow normal.

No matter how they try to spin it, cutting off yer whang , wearing a dress, sucking cock, buggery, etc is by all accounts pretty damn gay. Eating bugs and vegetables is kinda the same thing.

GFY

We should think of shrimp, crab and lobster as bugs that live in the ocean.

Just had shrimp teriyaki for lunch. Does that earn WEF brownie points or do only mealworms, crickets and roaches count?

I love to cook cabbage wedges broccoli and carrots in chicken both and dump them on mashed taters right next to my pork loin and biscuits.

Heck. By "Men Eating Vegetables" I assume they mean "vegetarian", not "Men Who Eat Vegetables". Many of us Neanderthals enjoy vegetables.

So, Vegetarian Men.

We Right-Wingers aren't afraid of them.

We just think they are all pussies.

Adults do eat veggies, but we also eat meat.

These liberal creeps just think they can guilt us into not eating any meat at all. Childish manipulations.

Wow, 10,000 words of drivel and mouth foam to call conservative concerns "conspiracy theories." Just like the green idiots trying to shut down farms in Netherlands and Ireland is nothing but a "debunked extreme right wing conspiracy theory."

Author Jan Dutkiewicz, Assistant Professor at the Pratt Institute describes himself thusly...

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies at the Pratt Institute. I am a political economist in the classical sense: I study the ethical, political, legal, social, and environmental dimensions of economic activity. My research examines the design, production, circulation, and consumption of everyday commodities, with a primary substantive focus on meat and other food products and a geographical focus on the United States.

My two primary projects are a monograph about the politics of American corporate meat production and a co-authored trade book envisioning a more just and sustainable food system. My academic research has been published or is forthcoming in journals including Lancet Planetary Health, Nature-Food, Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal of Peasant Studies, Journal of Cultural Economy, and Food Ethics. I have also written about the politics and environmental impacts of food production and novel food technologies for publications including WIRED, The Guardian, The New Republic, The Washington Post, Vox, and The Wall Street Journal. I maintain a secondary research agenda on international relations, primarily focusing on epistemology, truth claims, and the diffusion of ideas in global politics. I have published on these issues in the academic press and in publications including Foreign Policy and The New Republic. I also (very sporadically) write about sport.

I hold a Ph.D. and MPhil in Politics from the New School for Social Research and an MA in International Relations from Victoria University, and most recently was a Policy Fellow at Harvard Law School. Previously, I held the Connie Caplan Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Department of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University and was a Post-Doctoral Researcher with the Swiss National Science Foundation. My work has been supported by a Doctoral Award and other grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), an Ira Katznelson Dissertation Fellowship from the New School for Social Research, and a Graduate Student Fellowship at the Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies. I have been a Visiting Fellow at Wesleyan University, the University of California-Santa Barbara, and the Martin School at Oxford University.

Useless "brainiac" busybodies like this just cannot let people lead their normal, everyday lives. No, they must butt into every little corner of our lives and ruin them. He may seem like an obscure, inconsequential quack, but these ideas seep out of the academy and get traction, eventually leading to destructive things like CRT, BLM, and the "green new deal."

I'm having some nice lamb chops tonight, raised by my nephew.

Please excuse the unintentional greenery.

I'll be having seared tuna later tonight.

Beast, fish, or fowl ... it's all good in my book.
