NPR: don't eat meat. Don't eat corn. Just starve.

[Calvin Locke]

I subscribe to the NPR “food” RSS feed.

I’ve been tired of the constant drumbeat of illegal aliens good, unproven human caused climate change bad, etc. for a while.

[HIDEK6]

Can’t we just shoot these assholes?

[stubernx98]

So true, so why do we grow corn to make ethanol which also reduces the MPG. Global warming or Bribes?

[Dilbert San Diego]

no more corn, no more corn flakes, corn muffins, cornbread, etc.

Ocasio-Cortez will be busy as she overhauls farming and ranching......

[marktwain]

Fertilizer produced with hydrocarbons has allowed us to double the carrying capacity of the earth.

These “calculations” are stupid and insane.

But.... We put corn in our gasoline. It is supposed to be so good that the government is going to force E15. One giant sham. With all the flooding in the Midwest people will starving so we can put corn in our gas tanks.

Soylent Green, it’s our only hope.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Climate alarmists, and alarmists in general, are incompetent, dishonest hacks – who change their story every time the wind shifts. And no matter how many times they are wrong, they never lose credibility with the press.

[Larry Lucido]

Soylent Green is corn!

[fidelis]

"We call it maize--and now it's polluting your air."

[Kickass Conservative]

>>>Soylent Green is corn!<<<

I thought that was Soylent Yellow.

[Larry Lucido]

Possibly.

[x_plus_one]

Banning corn production will get rid of high fructose corn syrup, affordable soft drinks and skyrocketing prices on sugar and beef and ethanol.

[rlmorel]

If they put NPR leftists into the Soylent Green, I ain’t eating it.

[Drango]

Cow farts to NPR.

[Bob434]

Ah but corn is the left’s agenda driven priority for ethanol- so corn will always be exempt from climate regulations fines and taxes- only cows and meat and such will be targeted for extermination

[Tammy8]

Corn is one of the Three Sisters. Does that make it a target of the left?

[Paladin2]

Transpiration.

For Gorebal Warning, dihydrogen monoxide is the sausage [wurst].

Note: Just Kansas alone, produces enough wheat to provide five loaves of bread for every human on earth. That’s a month’s supply of food for everyone on earth.

Then add in the rest of the midwest farm belt...

But that requires fossil fuel to power the big machines, and more machines to get that grain to market, to the cities, etc.

If you want massive famine all over the world, just make it impossible to raise cattle, wheat, corn, chickens, hogs, etc. etc.
