A dietary health committee from the Biden-Harris administration is poised to issue guidelines for people in the United States recommending that plant-based proteins supplant animal-based proteins, such as beef, chicken, and eggs.
The recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which are reevaluated every five years, are slated to arrive by the end of the year after the 2024 election. In the meantime, though, the plan to downgrade animal-based proteins could hurt Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances with swing state voters in farming communities.
Although the panel’s final report is not expected until late December, the committee’s preliminary directive on protein was announced earlier this month during a more than five-hour meeting hosted by the National Institutes of Health.
During the meeting, the panel strongly supported downgrading meat, poultry, and eggs as primary protein and elevating beans, peas, and lentils out of the vegetable category of the food groups.
The recommendations, which would be in effect until 2030, come as environmentalists argue that industrialized meat and poultry production, particularly the cattle industry, is exacerbating climate change and that switching to plant-based protein would be more sustainable.

Man can NOT control the climate. What a bunch of egomaniacs.
All this healthy talk reminded me that I still have 6 ribeyes in the freezer from a HUGE sale a few months ago...put them in the second freezer.
Also, I have to go to Country Donuts soon on Staten Island to get my wife a “Trump Donut” before they run out. The crazy Italians out here will be around the block in line.
Steak and donuts...not as healthy as bugs and plants but tasty :)
Amazing.
I can not believe they will do this and continue to expect ANYONE to vote for them.
Even most progs draw the line at the first sign of getting hungry and beans with a side of chickpeas isn't going to put a dent in anything.
Take away those New York Strip and tenderloin steaks and stand back, you will have an unhinged liberal trying to run you over with their BMW.

Well, of course, given their coalition of left-wing nut jobs. They don’t give two hoots about the cost of meat since Food Stamps are the only thing preventing food riots.
‘Climate change’ is nothing more than the most sinister, most diabolical of plots, created by those whose seething hatred and rage to punish America and other advanced countries by forcing great suffering on us while stealing out resources and assets and giving it to those too stupid, lazy or evil to better themselves.
did the recommendation explain how folks eating a plant protein diet are supposed to obtain vitamin B12?
Doesn't that defeat the purpose.
Yeah, all that fiber makes you fart.
“it’s called a grill for a reason”! you’ve got your outdoor grilling and then there’s your outback grilling for those who live “out of town a bit”. more variety, bigger snacks.
This topic is exactly like the global warming nonsense, gummit control and handouts by the $billions to their cronies to develop in front companies, the Hussein gimmedats to Solyndra is a perfect example.
And oligosaccharides (complex sugars).
Then start with government handouts. Deny EBT purchases of meat products. Do not serve meat products at any government cafeteria. Deny government employee reimbursement for the purchase of any meat product. Prohibit the transport, storage, or use of any meat product in any government owned or operated building.
Let’s see how well the concept is accepted then.

Beans are an incomplete protein source, you have to add meat or cheese to it.
beans and a grain like rice supposedly together provide a complete protein, but that still doesn’t solve the B12 issue as B12 can be obtained in one’s diet only from consuming animal products ...
Ha!
And just when do “recommendations” become requirements? They’re already pushing to outlaw ICE vehicles, gas appliances & heating systems, fireplaces, guns, free speech (esp on social platforms) ... if they feel that they have a “mandate” ... we really are in trouble [<——as Joe Rogan said, a bit more colorfully]
on the brighter side, America won’t need all those illegals to work at the slaughterhouses anymore. Americans are perfectly capable of catching their own grasshoppers and ants.
