NY Daily News: Biden Should’ve Gone After Beef

Progressives should be honest and own their position.

Clearly, their goal is to reduce meat consumption among the poor, the working class and middle class by having the government intervene in the economy to make meat more expensive to fight climate change. They’re just afraid to publicly champion the issue because it is politically toxic.

New York Daily News:

“No, despite what Fox News, Donald Trump Jr. and some Republican members of Congress have claimed in recent days, President Biden is not actually planning to pass a law to make Americans reduce their red meat consumption by 90% in order to save the planet.

It’s too bad though. He really should.

The false claim stemmed from a very real study conducted last year by the University of Michigan and Tulane University. The research found that if beef consumption was reduced by 90% in the U.S., along with a 50% reduction in other animal products, more than 2 billion tons of greenhouse gas pollution would be saved from the atmosphere. …

Of course, this is not the only study to come to the conclusion that humans must reduce our consumption of animal products in order to thwart climate chaos. A 2018 report published in the journal Nature also included a call to Western countries to reduce beef and pork consumption by 90%, poultry and milk by 60%, and to replace that with four to six times more beans and similar plant-based products, in order to keep current food systems within environmental limits.

But so far, the notion of pending climate doom just hasn’t been enough to motivate most Americans to simply cut their 24 ounces of beef per week down to a burger every other week. …”

The Mirror:

“Two-thirds of men in Britain say they would rather die five to ten years early than give up meat, according to a new survey.

More than one in ten said giving up meat would make them feel less masculine, and a third said they believed humans were meant to eat meat – compared to one-quarter of the women surveyed. …”

They’re getting mad about the pushback against their actual position.

This is why they continue to write articles like “Joe Biden isn’t banning meat eating, but actually the proles should eat Impossible Burgers.”
