As President Joe Biden signs the largest climate package in American history, some leftist’s are bothered by policymakers’ hesitance to create a tax on meat.
Democratic lawmakers have long claimed that excrement produced by livestock and poultry farming — “farting cows,” as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) once put it — have an outsized impact on global temperatures. Discussion about crafting new disincentives for meat consumption resurfaced as the Inflation Reduction Act advanced through Congress after months of gridlock.

The excrement from cattle makes great fertilizer. If these idiots ever saw a farm they might figure have known this. Just because they want to eat soy doesn't mean I have to.

For those who don't watch 'Gutfeld', his opening segment last night was about the growing fascination with consuming bugs as delicacies. Celebs, including Kidman & Hayek, culminating with Robert Downy, Jr touting "insect protein" - just approved by the EU - as a viable alternative to meat with reduced greenhouse emissions in its production. Bon appétit, Robert.

Why do we need a tax, or even a law? Leftists could simply stop eating meat.

Has anyone ever thought about the diet these greenies are on, is high in beans which cause flatulence and not necessarily out in the pasture but in the elevator, office, subway or your favorite watering hole. Stand away from AOC, lol

They don't even understand their own pet theories. All life on earth, plant and animal, is carbon based and is already part of the cycle taking place on the surface of the earth. Rotting vegetable matter has the same effect on the atmosphere chemically whether it rots in the ground or is digested in the stomach of an animal. It is the same chemical process breaking down the plant matter. The theory behind man-made global warming is that taking fossil fuels out of the ground and burning them increases the net carbon in the atmosphere by releasing that which was trapped far under the earth's surface. All plant and animal matter is already part of the cycle and is not a net addition.

"Farting cow" is how I'd describe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

#2 I am sure you left out a little info for the stake of the story, but if you kill and butcher a neighbor's cow that wonders onto your land, that is known as cattle rustling and is a serious crime. It is your responsibility to fence livestock out of your property. Also, if you are driving carelessly and run over a cow on the highway, you may very possibly get to buy that cow. I suspect you know this and would "allow" that cow to cross over and the neighbor would look the other way, but many people do not know this.

These people are insane. The last thing we need is to have more people consuming carbohydrates. Let’s see…shall we eat corn tortillas filled with pinto beans and sprouts or eat a grilled chicken sandwich?

I am making a 2nd pot for the 3rd time ever, and will not make it a habit.
1st I reread #2 and they did allow for making the invading cow correct - good method too.
2nd #13 touches on it. If cows or other animals don't eat it, the grass will rot. Rotting means it is being eaten by bacteria or worms. Both emit methane when they digest the grass Not eating meat changes the amount of CO2 from digesting grass by zero percent. Methane is also produced within the earth along with oil and natural gas which contains methane. This will eventually come out. Methane does not exist on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn along with other planets because of cows.
The only way vegans could effect the atmosphere is .....that wouldn't work either Their decomposing bodies will release methane too. Maybe they should stick to eating pasture grasses and let the rest of us eat food. We'll both be happier, and they can fight the coyotes for survival because the coyotes will not pay taxes for eating meat.
These are the same people that want to get rid of CO2 so pants can't grow.
They don't know a lot, and absolutely refuse to learn anything new.

Human beings can adapt to survive on nearly any sort of varied diet, including meatless. But that is not essential, and our biology is best suited for us to be omnivores.
I prefer to eat meat. Those commies should mind their own business. If they take meat from us, we should eat them, instead.

Farting cows will be replaced by farting humans from the vegetation they are going to try to force on us.

"Solving" the non-existent problem of "climate change".....which has nothing to do with any human activities, if there is any change going on. Impossible to measure, and it really exists only in their fever dreams from taking too many drugs.
