Ne'er's the Beef
Timothy Birdnow
Yes, they really DO want us eating bugs and grass.
What you eat could decide the planet’s future
This comports with the Malthusian view that humanity is going to die from overpopulation and that we have to start downsizing our lives, particularly what we eat. It's a belief that well predates the global warming hysteria, I might add, which proves climate change is a tool designed to promote the goals of the malthusians and always was intended for that purpose.
FTA:
I argued years ago they were coming for our beef and I knew that as far back as the mid-eighties when I was in college and so many liberals sneered at our eating beef because it meant growing less grain to feed the poor of the world. They saw it as a moral issue then, but that wouldn't sell, so now it's climate change and the need to protect the planet from a faux fear. The Left has always resented the fact we can eat beef or pork or chicken while the Third World is stuck with grains. So they want to rub the West's nose in it's own prosperity by making us feel guilty about eating beef.
The reality is the Left hates people being happy, hates joy and pleasure and wants to punish people of the West. Taking away their steaks and making them eat cockroaches is one way they can do it. It gives them great satisfaction to force us to live like the truly impoverished.
This is just more of the same.
I ask you, are beef cattle on ranches any more "polluting" in terms of greenhouse gas emissions than the wild buffalo which used to wander the plains? I rather doubt it - and there were millions of buffalo at one time.
They also want us to stop eating beef as a way of standardizing cuisine internationally so everyone eats the same rice balls and the occasional bit of chicken or pork. If we are to have one world we have to all eat alike!
This is nothing but a front in the war on the West, particularly on America and Canada

Summary:
What we put on our plates may matter more for the climate than we realize. Researchers found that most people, especially in wealthy countries, are exceeding a "food emissions budget” needed to keep global warming below 2°C. Beef alone accounts for nearly half of food-related emissions in Canada. Small changes—less waste, smaller portions, and fewer steaks—could add up to a big climate win.
[...]
Half of us globally and at least 90 percent of Canadians need to change our diets to prevent severe planetary warming. And that number is conservative, because we used 2012 data. Since then, emissions and the world's population have both increased. Looking ahead to 2050, we found that 90 percent of us will need to be eating differently.
We looked at data from 112 countries, accounting for 99 percent of food-related greenhouse gas emissions globally, and divided each country's population into 10 income groups. We calculated a food emissions budget for each person by combining emissions from food consumption, global food production and supply chains, and compared these emissions to the total the world can afford if we want to stay below 2 °C of warming.
[...]
Eat only what you need. Repurpose what you don't. Less wasted food means fewer emissions, less cooking and more easy, tasty leftovers.
Eliminate or reduce your beef consumption -- 43 percent of food-related emissions from the average Canadian come from beef alone. We could have had our beef and eaten it too if we'd followed the agreements laid out in the Kyoto Protocol, but we're now at a point where food emissions also need to fall to avoid the worst of climate change.

That, and they probably want to put places like Omaha Steaks and Good Ranchers out of business; not to mention Tyson's Chicken.
We have an excellent meat market (chain) a couple miles down the street. One of the things we like to get from them is their stuffed pork chops. Somehow I just can't picture these guys serving up bugs, in any format.

Yeah; they want to put these guys into another line of work, no question.
I don't have any real meat markets around. Used to have a wonderful one back in the old days. I remember even their ground beef was delicious.

I just re-read some of this article and the part about their wanting to "standardize" cuisine internationally" yada yada. Somehow that triggered my memory of Nimrod's desire to "standardize" men along with his building the Tower of Babel with bricks instead of unhewn stones, which violated the Lord's orders and... well, we all know what the result of THAT was; languages got scrambled, and it's why (most) Americans can't understand the North Koreans; why the Mexicans can't understand the French; why the unelected bureaucrats who run the EU can't understand capitalists; and why Leftists can't understand adults.
