Nothing was stated, but the price of beef rose dramatically during Hussein 0bama's regime.

I wonder what we’re going to do about it. Nothing, I assume. Maybe a few winces at the market when the empty beef/pork section is full of tofu.

Even Guardian commenters are upset about this, lol.

Dear Vegans,

I’m going to eat meat.

The only question is,

Where does the meat come from?

Choose wisely.

Sincerely,

Hungry.

Nowhere in Holy Scriptures or Holy Tradition is eating red meat considered a sin.

Yes, the Holy Orthodox Church has its presccribed fast seasons and days. But looking forward to going back to eating Meat is part of the practice of Orthodox fasting—at least for non-monastics.

And processed red meat is central to much of German and north-Slavic cuisine. You know, all those Wursts and Kielbasas!!

So save the sin taxes for tobacco and gambling, etc. PHOOEY to “sin” taxes on Meat!!!!

You don’t understand.

The Church of Global Warming has deemed the eating of Red Meat to be a sin.

If you eat Red Meat you are a heretic and a blasphemer!

You must be punished!

The cause of the spike in beef prices was because of a drop in supply. Texas and Oklahoma has a pretty bad drought, so ranchers saw the price of hay go way up. So they started reducing the size of their herds which led to fewer cattle going to the slaughterhouses.

There was a huge price increase in all groceries when fuel was in the 4$/gallon range.

I am personally declaring war on meat.

I will eat as much of it as I can to save the other from the horrors of meat being on the planet.

If the wun had proclaimed that the price of beef had to skyrocket,just like the cost of electricity, the same fools would vote blindly for him all the same.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

The Left, of course, is fully behind the idea of more tax money. Not that it would be used for anything that would have anything to do with red meat. Except maybe the creation of an agency or two that does nothing. The rest of the tax money would disappear.

Ah, no. They are too gristly and not much meat. But I guess that they would do in a pinch.

They do look kind of sinewy.

I can change up their diet though to make them more suitable. If they can change my diet, I can change their diet.

Actually, a vegan diet tends to make a person fat. This is my experience with vegans. They replace protein from meat with carbs (sugar and processed grains).

The vegan diet is unhealthy and leads to obesity and bad cholesterol and diabetes.
