More liberal grazers for sure!

This is not science, it’s scare tactics.

When people with the word “Lord” in their name speak of food, remember two words...POTATO FAMINE!

Not only are you correct, but:

There are huge areas of land in the world that will support cattle, but are not suitable for cultivation. So food of any kind will become more costly.

Add to that the insane bio fuel scam which has disrupted the grain markets and we are headed for food prices that will make life even more difficult for everyone, especially the poor.

We could all commit ritual suicide in groups of 1,000 so others may bury the bodies./s

Will we still be permitted milk and eggs, Lord Stern? And what will happen to all those beef cattle and frying chickens we can no longer eat? Do you plan to provide them with pasture and "free range" living, or maybe you plan to just let those species become extinct?

I could just imagine the cost of a sirloin on the black market, and the newly caused corruption. They would either tax the farmers to death, or outlaw raising beef and pork altogether. Idiots didn’t learn anything from prohibition.

Just because this guy’s body functions well on no protein from meat, it doesn’t follow that everyone else would too. My body needs meat protein, veggies just won’t do it for me. I’d die of a terminal headache if I didn’t eat some protein from meat every day.

Leftist envy is not about wanting something you have, it’s about destroying or taking away something you have no matter their opportunity to also have it. Most of them could buy an SUV, join a church, get married, have kids, buy a large house with a fireplace and green lawn in the suburbs, adopt a big dog, eat meat, etc., but what they actually want is pure evil: to destroy these things to keep you from having them.

Good idea.
Not to mention all of the methane and hot air from liberal flatulence.

Why do the vegans try to impose their ideals on us carnivores? I don’t see the reverse happening. I don’t care what they eat, or even if they eat at all.

Gonna bag a couple of does this evening. Make some jerky, and smoke some mignons.

Filter or non-filter?

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
