The Oxford University Student Union recently voted to ban the serving of beef and lamb at various campus eateries, citing the need to be a leader in the fight against climate change.

According to the Oxford Mail, individual colleges within the university ultimately would decide whether to initiate the meat restrictions.

“As the UK’s premier university, the nation looks to Oxford for leadership, but Oxford has shown a lack of leadership in addressing climate change,” the resolution reads. “The banning of beef and lamb at university-catered events and outlets is a feasible and effective strategy to help the university meet its revised 2030 goal.”

The motion also stated that the university’s “commitment to anti-racism” necessitates action against climate change.

Beef and lamb were singled out because they have the greatest CO2 output compared to other animal products.

The Beet notes campus “butteries,” late-night eateries which “follow their own policies,” would be exempt from any ban.

The Student Union vote was 31-9, but as is the case with college student governments, the motion isn’t binding. Oxford U. officials will have the final say.

OFFS! Fookin' idjit ecotossers. And the SU voted 31-9? So much for the brilliance at OXford. Maybe they should vote to change the name of the institution to VEGford. Degrees in dumassery will be handed out soon.

Easy enough for them to get fish and chips or donor kebab off a food stand in London.

Unless they’re locked down some more in their dorm rooms. Despite racis’ haters Eric Clapton and Van Morrison coming out with and anti lockdown tune. HUH?! I’m sure someone has an explanation as to how an anti lockdown song is racis’. Bueller? Bueller?

They can Just stop eating it. Do they not understand ‘demand’. The eateries will stop selling as much if they stop buying it. Instead they want to control what others eat.
‘Control’ vs freedom of choice.

Hopefully, the University will make the right final decision reminding these over zealous control freak kids that they are molding.

Why doesn’t Oxford save some time, and just ban food in general?

Oh, wait. I should have said they should just ban food AND water. After all, the carbon footprint to purify - and then transport - water...well, it’s huge!

Save the planet! No food for Oxford. No water for Oxford.

Right out of alinsky,s book:

“7. Remember: once you organize people around something as commonly agreed upon as pollution, then an organized people is on the move. From there it’s a short and natural step to political pollution, to Pentagon pollution”

Here we go. First shot over the bow which points to the future.

Doctrines of demons and deceiving spirits by which these students are taken.

The timing is interesting because it is the antithesis of thanksgiving.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times [today's times] some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1 Tim 4:1-5.
