Efforts to curb greenhouse gas-emissions and the impacts of global warming will fall significantly short without drastic changes in global land use, agriculture and human diets, leading researchers warn in a high-level report commissioned by the United Nations.

The special report on climate and land by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describes plant-based diets as a major opportunity for mitigating and adapting to climate change ― and includes a policy recommendation to reduce meat consumption.

Just like the ole days, only the rich and connected will get to eat meat. Us serfs will eat vegetable food based food disc. Any non-plant protein will be from insects or Soylent Green.

UN says: Eat less meat...

I says: No.

[God cares]

Invalid premises lead to invalid conclusions.

[Army Air Corps]

The UN has been peddling this for quite some time.

Does anyone have a picture of the menu or menu board at the UN’s food court, cafeteria, or other in-building eatery? Is there meat on the menu?

That is, like, so cute. The UN thinks we take any thing they say seriously.

The Mediterranean Diet is popular.

I myself am on the Midwestern Diet, lots of steaks and hamburger.

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Send WAY less money to the UN.

[Pontiac]

I recommend that the UN "Eat My Shorts" for mitigating and adapting to climate change

[dp0622]

Yeah ok UN

I’ll be buying TWICE as much steak from now on.

[subterfuge]

I defy anyone to name one thing in our lives the UN doesn’t want to control.
OUR land, water, air, food, transportation and even what we think.

[dfwgator]

Hitler would have approved.
