(Reuters) - People will have to cut meat from their diets if the world is to stay within safer limits of planet-warming greenhouse gases, nitrate pollution and habitat destruction, according to a journal article published on Monday.

I call b.s.

If we don’t eat the cows their farts will ruin the atmosphere. Does’nt anyone remember the study done with Bush the Elders massive tax increase proving this?

[Bronzy]

Oh, and we can not eat beans ‘cause that may produce f@rts. And, some people say cabbage causes gastrointestinal distress.

They’ll have to pry my bacon from my freakin’ cold dead fingers.... grrrrr!

Are they still beatin’ this dead horse? The AGW bandwagon’s got 4 flats and these clowns are still climbing on board.

Give it up already!!!!

Except for our masters, who will continue to have the required Wagyu beef and Chilean sea bass.

These nimrods seem to think that we don't know history. Sadly, in many cases they would be right. Research "sumptuary laws" and you'll see.

Back in the days of "Lords" and "serfs" only the "lordly ones" got much by way of animal proteins in their diet. The "serfs" were largely vegetarian.

This is nothing more than attempt to revive antiquated "sumptuary laws", using a thin veneer of junk science to justify it...

So two “experts” (cheesy professors of ‘resource and environmental studies’) at some university in Canada no one has ever heard of want to prohibit people from eating meat, and Reuters thinks this is a news story.

They never show the way by killing themselves, preferably en masse.

Sad state of affairs indeed, but it still seems to work on the 0bama voters..:=(

“Across the board reductions in per capita consumption of livestock products should ... be a policy priority,” it said.

Nice.

>> People will have to cut meat from their diets

ROFLMAO! “you people”, maybe. I’m not going to.

I fart a beefy fart in your general direction, enviros!

[Nervous Tick]

>> That’s why they work so hard to slaughter... anyone other their own lovely selves.

That’s what I don’t get.

Assuming they really believe their own crap, it seems that the quickest and most certain way to achieve their goals is to off themselves.

I’m all for it! Heck, I’ll even help if they want me to.

[Pollster1]

Time to up my meat intake.

I read this and then farted out my bedroom window...

Let's use the Enviro-Nuts own argument here. According to them, meat (ie. beef, pork, et al) is bad because the animals burp and fart methane into the air causing 'global warming'. Plants are good because they clean the air and are pretty.

Ok...I eat meat, which means I'm eating the animals you say are a problem. You (environuts) eat plants, which you say are good. Soooo...whose really helping the environment?
