Yet they get a free pass........pfffft.
Anyhow, pretty soon, despite the fact that cow parts are used for many other purposes other than just for meat (which many people like vegans are ignorant to), we will be taxed for eating meat .
Denmark is working on that now, due to this GW bullshit, blaming man for everything.
Denmark considers tax on beef, other red meats to combat climate change
Quote:The price of porterhouse may soon get beefed up in Denmark-- if the small Scandinavian nation’s Council on Ethics has its way.
The council, an independent body that advises the government, said this week that Danes have an ethical obligation to fight climate change. And to push them to do that, it called for a “climate tax” on red meat.
According to The Local, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization has determined that 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions – more than the total exhaust from all forms of transportation – comes from animal agriculture. Raising cattle not only contributes 10 percent of those emissions, but it also takes11,360 gallons of fresh water to produce just over two pounds of beef.
Beef also requires 28 times more land and 11 times more water to produce than pork or chicken, and it emits five times their climate-changing gases, according to The Guardian.
"11,360 gallons of water" and "28 times more land". You called it right when you said "bullshit" above, although my first thought was that you made a funny considering the topic is "beef" - still, it's right on the money.
A gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds. 11,360 gallons therefore weighs 94,742.4 pounds. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that there is not 11,360 gallons of water weighing 94,742.4 pounds packed into a mere two pounds of beef. The people who will buy that bullshit are the same idjits that will drill a 3.5 mm hole in their perty new iphones to reclaim their headphone jack. The water obviously is returning into the water cycle, no harm done to it. It's not being "used up" as in vanished, gone, no more to return.
Same for the land area. 28 Times the land area? That ain't being used up, either. When the beef is on your table, the land it lived on is still there, ready for reuse over and over and over again. It's not just disappearing for the final human survivors to be left fighting over the last square foot of land anywhere.
They can kiss my beef-eating, carbon-emitting ass. I ain't as dumb as they wish I was, despite my being a dumb-assed hick hillbilly. We used to have schools, even here, so they ain't going to shovel their bullshit on MY head and make me believe it against all logic and critical thought.
Tax meat? Suits me fine. I can walk 200 meters outside my door with a pointy stick and bring all the tax-free meat I can stand back in the door when I walk back in. It will doubtless impact city folk (unless they want to hunt tax-free rats, cats, and dogs), but that ain't my lookout. City folk might need the tax, anyhow, since it's their concrete that is causing the bulk of the false readings that the climate change shamans are relying on to cook their books and do their hocus-pocus act. As far as I'm concerned, it's just another good reason to get the hell out of cities, which, after all are just traps turned into zoos for humans.
Now, I've known a couple of Danes, and they weren't anybody's idiots, so I'm left to assume that it's governmental idiots pulling this crap out of their asses, not normal Danes.
Californians are a different matter. I've not known many of them who could add 2 plus 2 and get a consistent 4. I'd imagine they'll just eat this bullshit up that came out of Moonbeam Jerry's ass. Serves 'em right. It's Darwin in action. Eventually Californians will depopulate themselves, and leave all that land free for the taking by intelligent humans.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
