7,311 Former President Barack Obama warned the world that more people on the planet were eating meat, causing a dramatic rise in climate emissions.
“As people want to increase meat consumption, that in turn is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sector,” Obama said, pointing to countries that were consuming more meat.
The former president shared his views about the growing threat during a conversation about food with his former chef Sam Kass at a food innovation summit in Milan.
“People aren’t as familiar with the impact of cows and methane,” Obama said, adding that “as people want to increase more meat consumption, that in turn is spiking the growth of greenhouse emissions coming out of the agricultural sectors.”
The amount of cows, Obama explained, were contributing to global pollution, alluding to the amounts of methane gas emissions from cow herds.
“No matter what, we are going to see an increase in meat consumption,” Obama said, pointing to developing economies in China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. More advanced countries, Obama said, would have to teach people to “have a smaller steak” and explore reductions to their meat consumption.
“What it does mean is that we’re also going to have to find ways to produce protein in a more efficient way,” he said.
During the conversation, Obama argued with Kass about how many steaks he had cooked him.
Kass said that he probably cooked “thousands of steaks” for the president, but Obama interrupted.
“I don’t think, thousands,” he protested.
“Well hundreds maybe,” Kass backtracked. “I’ve been cooking for you for 10 years.”
“What is true is that I’m not a vegetarian,” Obama admitted, adding that he “respected vegetarians” but continued to eat meat.

If His Arrogance is talking about “outgassing” as a big source affecting climate change (aka Global Warming), then he should consider his administrations’s 8 years in office as producing more bullsh!t and resultant “methane” than all of the cattle have produced in the US since the early 1800s.
Especially when you fly those steaks from Japan to D.C. eh, 0bunghole?
Steak’s on the menu for my dinner tomorrow (a tradition when leftist snowflakes say I shouldn’t eat meat).
I had a nice New York Sirloin last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks to 0beanbrain I have now enjoyed the same steak twice!
Good, the family’s just ate 5 yesterday. Climate change tastes so good, especially after last week’s snow.
Odungo is known to be abnormally interested in matters pertaining to the anus-—cows passing wind, etc.
There’s my advice, that’ll be $3.5 million. Thanks, let’s do this again soon.
Obama eats beef. Complains eating beef causes climate change. He's a hypocrite.
But then again, maybes he's right. Supposed to be 96 degrees tomorrow here on the homestead.
My cattle must be raising the earth's temperature.
Sounds reasonable. Don’t ruin my visual by telling me
you grill over gas or bricketts.
This from the POS who set aside Friday nights at the White Hut as Steak Night (Waygu and Kobe).
No, it’s not from the Onion. Once again Barry has mistaken his Captain Planet thought balloon for his saying-it-loud balloon.
(Could I actually tell American infidels having trouble scraping together the shekels to buy moo-burger to buy less Kobe beef steaks? Oh why not, yes, I can.)
Actually, I pan fry it most of the time. For years I used the grill. I never thought how good pan fry can be, but it’s really not bad.
Winner Winner (dark meat) Chicken Dinner!
Yeah!
These globalists who believe in human caused planetary warming forget that millions of buffalo used to roam the Great Plains. I suppose now they’re all for us killing off most of the indians’ meat supply to decrease methane gas production./s
Once a liar, always a liar. The climate isn’t going to any different if you don’t eat steak.
"Obama Celebrates Spending Binge With Cocktails And Wagyu Steak"
Michelle Malkin - January 29, 2009
"Can the Obama administration be anymore tone deaf?
After pushing his $1.1 trillion Generational Theft Act of 2009 through the House last night, the White House
apparently decided to throw itself a swank cocktail party.According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, the menu included alcoholic beverages (vodka martinis are an Obama favorite,
reportedly) and wagyu steak.""Yeah, “wagyu steak.” $100 per serving delicacy. I had to look it up, too."
Translation: What we need is fewer people.
