This coming from an organization that KNOWS there are Africans who are eating "mud pies" to stave off hunger pains?? The UN KNOWS that there are children starving in Africa and does nothing about it. The UN has NO COMPASSION (but the leaders line their own pockets with gold) for hungry people the world over.

But the UN thinks "we" should give up meat to help the environmental climate change? When they send food to every starving person in Africa, I'll give up meat.

Actually I eat meat only one or two days a week, if at all. But I'll start eating it more frequently until the UN goes to Africa and feeds all the starving people there.

Shouldn’t we be eating MORE beef to eliminate those global polluters?

“However, he also stressed other changes in lifestyle would help to combat climate change. ‘That’s what I want to emphasise: we really have to bring about reductions in every sector of the economy.’”

Keep it up guys. Let the cats out of the bag about exactly what changes in lifestyles will be mandatory to combat global warming.

Once the people find out exactly what the global bureacracy will require in order to ‘reduce the possibility that the world will be slightly warmer in 100 years’, the quicker this globalony BS will be over.

new research may have provided evidence, that solar variations have had major effects on the earth's climate as recent as 2,000 years ago.

Hey, UN.. I only eat meat once a week now, and it is getting colder already! Don’t really know what would happen if I eliminate one more day. Do you suppose the democrat hell would freeze over?

"The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are generated during the production of animal feeds, for example, while ruminants, particularly cows, emit methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than carbon dioxide. The agency has also warned that meat consumption is set to double by the middle of the century."

If methane is 23 times "more effective as gw agent" than CO2, then conversely CO2 is 23 times LESS effective as a gw agent. So then why are they focusing on CO2, wanting to wreck the US economy to reduce CO2 emissions? And why aren't they supporting nuclear energy, where the reactors do not emit any CO2 or any other "green house gases", occupy a very small "environmental footprint" (unlike windmill farms and solar farms, where you have to cover a huge area to get anything worthwhile)

Their answer to everything is to CONTROL people, NOT to actually solve a problem, IF there is problem.

I guess we should all just go back to the stone age and eat berries off the trees, so we won't cause global warming.

Global Warming is Junk Science !

But eating meat sold in supermarkets may be mistake. I used to be a big meat eater. I love big, thick, juicy BBQ steaks and still do.

Then I had a severe stroke that left me paralyzed and disabled. After a very long recovery and years of rehab, my son turned me on to eating raw, fresh veggies. I switched to eating a diet that is almost meat free and using only hormone free milk . . .

Now my BP is 120/70 and my resting heart rate is between 52 and 62. I get out and walk every day for about two hours. There is hope for everybody who wants to improve their life.

Last month I learned something from somebody I respect about the meat departments of most grocery stores. He works for a very large food store chain. He told me that about four years ago he discovered the chain had made new arrangements for disposing of old cardboard boxes. Trucks pick them up for free and haul them away.

Then he told me this outfit shreds the old boxes. Even the heavily wax covered produce boxes are throw into the shredder. The company sprays them with growth hormone and mixes them with other 'garbage food' products: This concoction is sold to ranchers who feed this toxic mishmash to cattle and dairy cows.

The Dept of Agriculture, Meat Inspectors and FDA close their eyes to what is going on.

There is a reason why Americans are so incredibly fat: Growth hormones fed to the animals we love to eat. Now you know why Japan, S. Korea and Europe are banning meat from the U.S. Now you know why they are so p@ssed off at our meat industry.

Don't take my word for it, do some research on your own. I still love good steaks. But I eat only the best prime, range fed beef. And I have cut back on my meat intake dramatically.

Cheers !

People should never eat meat. Ever since I have become a vegetarian, I have felt wonderful. I never get sick and I have lost weight. I became a vegetarian because I feel sorry for the poor animals. Every time I hear about a meat recall, I wonder how anyone could eat meat.

[uglybiker]

But...if I don't eat meat...I'LL STARVE!!

I'm shutting up now.

[freespirited]

Obviously, the entree at all UN events should be rice and beans.

Until these champagne socialists practice what they preach, they have no business telling anyone how to live.

[goodwithagun]

That settles it. I just took some steaks out of the freezer for dinner tonight.

[Noumenon]

Think I’ll grill some steaks this evening. Should be lovely out on the deck.

RockinRight says: I’m hungry and I think I should go get a Baconator from Wendy’s.

If we shut down the UN, “global warming” would no longer be an issue due to the resulting reduction in hot air.

Hey U.N.


Let me, most FReepers, and Patriotic Americans, along with Johnny Cash, tell you how we feel about your lackluster, sorrya$$, communist regime...

[A Strict Constructionist]

We need a law banning meat consumption by anyone connected to the UN while in the US.

[No Truce With Kings]

Real smart. The world is entering a cooling period which will cause crop yields to fall and the UN wants to help that cooling along.
