Drove the trusty SUV to get BBQ yesterday. Beef brisket, baby backs and pulled pork...hmmmmmmmmmm. Must do it again soon...so good. This report gives me more motivation (as if any sane SUV driving, meat eater needed more!).
I am extremely skeptical as to any factual basis behind the numbers in this story. For example, 80KG = 176lbs for every man, woman and child. That is 1/2lb of meat per day. While I certainly have eaten an 8oz steak every week or so, the notion of eating that much meat every day is absurd. The consumption number is not credible IMHO.
However, what struck me in reading this story was the merging of interests of all "I know better than you how live your life" groups into this single grand agenda. The backlash is likely to be extremely fierce - or at least I hope so.
