New Obama Administration nutrition guidelines: "Become a vegan for Gaia"
In 2015, Every time you eat a hamburger, a climate scientist cries.
Why?
Because, according to the Obama Administration, you need to go vegan, or the planet will die.
A panel that advises the Agriculture Department appears set to recommend that you be told not only what foods are better for your own health, but also for the environment. That means that when the latest version of the government's dietary guidelines comes out, it may push even harder than it has in recent years for people to choose more fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and other plant-based foods — at the expense of meat.
The advisory panel has been discussing the idea of sustainability in public meetings, indicating that its recommendations, expected early this year, may address the environment. A draft recommendation circulated last month said a sustainable diet helps ensure food access for both the current population and future generations.
A dietary pattern higher in plant-based foods and lower in animal-based foods is "more health promoting and is associated with lesser environmental impact than is the current average U.S. diet," the draft said.
Hyperbole, it's what's for dinner. Maybe it tastes better than broccoli.
In case you haven't noticed, the oceans aren't rising, and the sea ice isn't melting.
Nevertheless, the True Believers will not be deterred.
Their first target? Beef.
The study said that compared with other popular animal proteins, beef produces more heat-trapping gases per calorie, puts out more water-polluting nitrogen, takes more water for irrigation and uses more land.
Well, I suppose we could always Eat Mor Chikin!
Seriously though, the constant drumbeat for Globull Warming is tiresome. And every time the Obamunists come up with another hare-brained regulatory regime, more Americans inevitably lose their jobs while the rest of us end up paying higher prices for basic necessities.
Sometimes a steak is just a steak, and not a political statement, or a dagger in the heart of Mother Gaia.
Oh, by the way, guess what I'm having for dinner tonight?
That sound you hear? It's Gina McCarthy's head exploding. Yowzah!
