    I actually agree. Eat less beef and more vegetarian meals. I ate beef today but I also had vegetarian meals 4 days in the last week

    Considering that beef is a potential carcinogen, it’s actually good advice. Plus, cattle are a massive producer of methane, which is far worse for global warming than CO2

    Not to mention screw worms.

    Yet when Michelle Obama merely suggested that Americans eat better and exercise, the pedo GOP blew a gasket.

    Good message, wrong reasoning.

    Ecologists have been telling people [from rich countries] to minimize beef consumption or drop it altogether for years, but not because of its price tag.

      not because of its price tag

      I get what you mean, and agree, but want to point out that at least in a sense, it is because of the price tag: the cost to the environment and to others, in the form of water use, land use, carbon and methane emissions, etc. Internalizing those external costs would make beef cost more money at the point of sale.

    If food is too expensive, don’t eat.

    -Republicans

    Famine makes ecconomic sense

    -Also Republicans

    Why aren’t the plebians having kids? We need more wage slaves! Maybe outlawing abortion is the solution.

    -Republicans, again

      I was in an argument just yesterday on the “not having enough kids” subject where people were insisting that younger generations are choosing to live in “expensive places” and that they should move to “cheaper places” so they can start families. As if the idea of abandoning their lives, careers and friends to go live out in the boonies in order to provide a bare-minimum QoL for their family is going to change any dual-income-no-kids couples’ minds.

    They might get what they are asking us to do, and I’m certain that they’ll like that less than tough questions.
