Next week, I should be ready to open a "meat offsets" company, to help him take care of his problem without persoanl pain.

LOL As we speak, I have a stock pot of mouth-watering white chili percolating on the stove, that my wife said she could smell in the front yard when she pulled up. Added a little extra crushed tomato, chiles, cilantro, and lime juice, for effect. *YUM* And the sweet cornbread just went into the oven. :-) The missus' tummy isn't too tolerant of acidic things like tomato sauces at times; otherwise, I'd challenge you tonight to a bison chili cook-off. LMAO

LOLOL!!!

Somebody creative here has to design a "meat offsets" coupon....

Well, the population was estimated at 30 to 60 million Bison. We slaughter 32 million cattle annually. So it is a net wash probably. PETA activists do not think though, so it is a trick question. It's nice to see Gore extending his hypocrisy into another realm though.

A better argument against meat eating in this country would be the effects of continual antibiotic dosing on public health. That's why I try to get my meat from local producers who raise livestock on a smaller scale.

Good luck, PETA . . . we already know Al Gore is a phony environmentalist who does things only on his own terms. I wouldn't be surprised if he butchers the meat he eats himself!

[amchugh]

I've met a lot of these. Including 'vegetarians' who eat every meat but red meat. Apparently the new term is flexitarian.

[Alberta's Child]

I like your idea. Let's buy a big spread of land out west, raise a bunch of cattle, and then let jack@sses like Al Gore pay us a couple of thousand dollars for every cow we let loose to roam in the wild as wolf food.

I agree with ya there....no antibiotics...no hormones.

There is some meat in that chili I hope?

[word_warrior_bob]

I think Michael Jacksons' kiss to Priscilla Presley was more convincing.

That is the most uncomfortable looking kiss I've ever seen, closer to the beginning of a rape than a kiss by a normal, virile man. Seems like he's a "stiff" at everything, the wrong kind of stiff.

[amchugh]

I've got to plug the "meat is murder...tasty, tasty murder" T-Shirt even though y'all have probably seen it.

[paulat]

Don't do that. Merchandising is not allowed on FR. Please.

I'm wondering about something. If we all become vegans or simple vegetarians, won't that cause us to produce as much "gas" as the cows?

There are no known limits to orthodoxy.

[ApplegateRanch]

Too bad Primechoice hung up his cleaver.

The "Sacred Cow-Burger" logo would have given one just that much more cachet. LOL!!!

[paulat]

I ususally hate billboards (yes, I one of THOSE), but I love this one.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. An industry association for the Alberta beef producers had another billboard campaign right around the same time this one appeared in Saskatchewan . . . the slogan was something like: "Save a cow -- eat a vegetarian."

[ApplegateRanch]

Well, we could start with our 330 acres, and work up from there.

That would lead to "income offsets" though, since we pesently lease the pasturage to a neighbor.
