With all the problems in the world, Democratic presidential candidates are focusing on — meat.

During a climate change forum hosted by MSNBC on Thursday, longshot candidate Andrew Yang was asked by an audience member about “what policy adjustments” he’d make to “curb expansion and reduce the environmental impact of the cattle industry” in order to “reduce demand.”

“Cattle is very energy-consuming and energy-expensive. And if you project forward on what we would need to do to reduce emissions, you would want to modify Americans’ diets over time,” Yang said.

Durng WWII and meat rationing, we raised rabbits to provide meat. While Dad was off to the war, it fell to me as the oldest child to feed, water and butcher them. I guess I cold do it again if I had to, but I prefer to get my meat at the supermarket.
