BERLIN — Three environmental groups are criticizing the organizers of global climate talks in Poland for having too much meat on the meeting menu.

The U.S.-based groups said their analysis showed that twice as many meat dishes as plant-based ones are being offered in the main food court of the conference venue.

The meeting that started Sunday is supposed to help find ways to significantly reduce greenhouse gases that are blamed for global warming.

Producing meat requires far more water and land and causes significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions than vegetarian alternatives.

The Center for Biological Diversity, Farm Forward and Brighter Green said that if all meeting participants choose meat dishes, it would be the equivalent of burning half a million gallons of gasoline.

Their calculations couldn’t immediately be independently verified.

OFFS! Had a nice crockpot tri-tip yesterday. Had it in for about 5 hours so not only did the meat contribute but we used some electricity to bring it to awesome pull apart goodness. Notice they were NOT able to calculate how they arrived at the half a million gallons of gasoline number immediately. Probably due to lack of meat protein. More burgers for me assclowns. And, by munching down of some bacon, please deduct the farts that are being eliminated from you calculations. ;-)

p.s. Notice the saladhead in the pic. Is it romaine?

Environmental groups need to be rounded up.

Ok then. Don’t feed them. Turn off the water in the restrooms. Cut the electricity in their hotel rooms. No shuttle service to the airport and cancel their tickets so they’ll have to walk or swim home.

Hear the lettuce scream!!!!

I don’t know that’s its the cause for the most recent decrease but I think overeating, bad diet and lack of exercise is a major contributor overall.

Too much meat and not enough brains.

If they controlled the World they would be worst than Hitler and Stalin combined

Hey, they’re working on it.

I’m all in favor of such environmentalist meetings having a mandatory menu of nothing but uncooked vegetarian food and insects, with no alcohol being served.

I’ll have the 20 oz. prime rib medium rare, please. Oh, and some grass for my enviro-wacko friend here.

Hitler was a vegan.

I have some “aged “ sod in a wholesome pile in the back yard they can munch on.
