The Biden administration has been at great pains to
dispel the crazy Republican notion that the Green New Deal and other
policies the administration is touting would necessarily lead to a dramatic reduction in the amount of beef a person could consume. “Fact-checkers” throughout the media universe
unanimously decried the notion as preposterous in the extreme.
This is itself somewhat disingenuous, as the Green
New Deal does propose measures to dramatically reduce the environmental
footprint left by cows and steers. It suggests that reducing bovine flatulence will be a giant step towards saving the planet, something
that will necessarily include limiting the production of beef.
Amusingly, almost immediately after the supposedly
bogus Republican stories claiming that tyrannical leftists want to limit your
consumption of beef surfaced, Condé Nast's culinary magazine Epicurious
announced that it will no longer publish beef recipes,
proudly noting that it can’t, in good conscience, continue to give
"airtime to one of the world's worst climate offenders." Epicurious
tweeted, "Today we announced that Epicurious is cutting out beef. It won't
appear in new Epi recipes, articles, newsletters, or on social. This isn't a
vendetta against cows or people who eat them. It's a shift about
sustainability; not anti-beef but pro-planet."
Which is
utter and complete bullshit of course, speaking of bovinity. Here we see the
specter of a progressive culinary magazine lying about virtue-signaling in
its attempt to cancel cows. In direct contravention of Biden administration
wishes, no less.
It would
behoove those in the lamestream media and the Biden administration to
tell the truth from time to time. But they just can’t bring themselves to do
so.
We should all have a beef with that.
