Envirofascists in D.C. Want Food Rationing for the "Environment"
Frontpage ^ | November 20, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

The average person may oppose the left, but he fails to grasp how extreme its agenda is. Every new insane policy is treated as an extreme. It's not an extreme. The extreme is inconceivable. It can only be gathered from histories of successful leftist regimes like Stalin's Soviet Union. What we think of as an extreme is just the next step on the ladder that the left is building. Here's the next step.

A group of researchers in Oxford University, England have suggested that imposing a massive tax on carbon intensive foods – specifically protein rich foods like meat and dairy – could help combat climate change.

bacon the caviar of meat products. I’m sure the leftists would prefer that we eat vegan and only eat of the fruit of the ground on earth. But what then when we are eating the carpet and fruit of Mother Gaia and destroying her appearance? Should we starve so that Mother can live. Why yes, we should according to these idiots. What we need to do is defund the universities and put the educated idiot professors out of business who are spewing this nonsense. I’ve never seen so many people waste 4 years of their life learning crap that is complete nonsense in my life which gets particularly annoying when they graduate and have a faux superiority complex over nonsense that is completely useless.

We need to enforce an immediate and complete ban on ALL production of CO2, worldwide. Anything that produces CO2 must be immediately shutdown / turned off or otherwise prevented from further production.

Then Gaia can regenerate herself ....

If we had Hillary Clinton for President, the scene right out of the first Hunger Games novel could have approached reality within 20 years. But thankfully she lost, so we have a chance to avoid that dystopian future.

As such, these environmentalist can go pound sand.

Actually, it’s all about the control. A high carbohydrate low protein diet tends to produce good complacent serfs and it’s one of the reasons we’ve gotten the government “food pyramid” and leftists/environmentalists have always pushed the “low on the food chain” eating concept in my opinion.

Meanwhile, bring in millions of third-world people and give them enough to eat, paid for by the evil White people who once had jobs.

An essential part of socialism is rationing. That is, the government rationing everything good and desirable, so as to maintain control over the public.

1) If shortages do not exist, they attempt to artificially create them, or failing that, to create the idea in the public mind that shortages exist. They call these lies “raising public awareness”.

2) The reason they do this is because *anything* in abundance, that is desirable, and can be transferred, can be used as currency, defeating socialist control over money.

3) They also claim an absolute monopoly over any possible “solution” to the problems that they created. Other ideas, that might actually work, are forbidden and shut down. And because their goal is *not* to solve the problem, but to obtain and keep money and control over others, once they have money and control, they declare the problem “solved”, even though it is not.

While somewhat amusing, these leftist morons are really useless malignancies on humanity. They need a cup of STFU.

I’ve not ate a steak since DUMBO has been in office, as a Senior I can’t afford one. Cube steak is the closest thing I’ve come to a real steak.

They should have to eat a Gastropresis diet like I do along with watching the carbs as it tends to make you a Type 2 diabetic.

Madam, since the People’s Choice assumed his throne, I have eaten a lot of steak, between two pieces of bread.

Yep lots of bologna and hot dogs pass for food, along peanut butter.

If it’s not on sale and has a coupon, it doesn’t get bought. No sodas either. I buy up laundry soap when Kroger’s puts in on special for a $1 a bottle. Splurge item is Kroger’s coffee, I am not awake until I have my morning 2 cups of coffee.
