War On Meat

Proactive;

WASHINGTON (Oct. 28, 2019) – The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) today applauded the bipartisan introduction of the Real MEAT (Marketing Edible Artificials Truthfully) Act of 2019 by U.S. Reps. Roger Marshall (R – 1st Dist., Kansas) and Anthony Brindisi (D – 21st Dist., N.Y.)
 
“A growing number of fake meat products are clearly trying to mislead consumers about what they’re trying to get them to buy,” said NCBA President and Tennessee cattlewoman Jennifer Houston. “Consumers need to be protected from deceptive marketing practices, and cattle producers need to be able to compete on a fair, level playing field. We want to thank Congressmen Brindisi and Marshall for leading the way on this very important issue.”

While our western provincial governments remain asleep at the wheel, as the same agents destroying our energy industry pivot to agriculture. And just as they did with the energy industry, they’ll wake up a decade too late, and wonder what just hit them.

  1. Hollywood, no doubt, will support this. Once real meat is banished forever to history, think of all the movies that will be re-made or, for that matter, completely deleted in order to reflect the fact that we not only eat soy, we’ve always eaten soy and we’ll keep eating soy.

    No longer will we be forced to watch such cinematic atrocities such as Red River, which is about a (gasp!) cattle drive. Giant commits a double sin as it is about cattle and oil. We’ll no longer have see characters being hanged for–ahem–cattle rustling.

    On the other hand, I can’t imagine movies which have soy bean round-ups as part of their plots.

    Beyond meat? Beyond stupid!

    1. “Beyond meat? Beyond stupid!”

      Nothing like a terrific thick steak to keep brains functioning.
      I’m craving one now! The gang greenies eat meat in hiding. Who are we kidding?

      Could it be that too much soy makes some people more effeminate? Compare sizes between the meat-eating, on average, 6 foot tall, ‘Vikings’. I suppose it must depend on the body type a society needs to get the ‘work’ done, and whether it’s cold outside and one is outfitted with now banned ‘fur’ skins to keep their blood from turning to ice. The ban on fur was the beginning of the end! N’est pas?

      With chemical manipulation like with human growth hormones and steroids, the game changes. Example: some basketball players have to build the archways to a greater height in their homes and get longer beds to accommodate their newly acquired statuesque tall bodies. Big money in basketball, right?

      Saw “The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing” last night- the star of the show was the beautiful scenery. It was filmed in Utah and Arizona. Movie had a lot of phoney fighting.

      Another movie with great scenery that I recently enjoyed was: “Rooster Cockburn” (1975) with John Wayne & Kate Hepburn.

      So no “cattle” drives but yes to “scenic” movies, B A.

      1. Rooster Cogburn was shown on TCM a few weeks ago. I found it disappointing for a John Wayne movie. Fortunately, he redeemed himself with his final film The Shootist.

    2. Now we have to say “hold yer… ‘er’… soy-horses”.

      Sadly this year there is going to be massive soybean surplus (Trudeau/Huwei/Trump), China is closed.

      If markets prevail we will be drowning in smug-“burgers” for the next year at least.

    3. Yeah, BA DR, the thought of a soybean stampede doesn’t excite me.

      Hm, would they still hang rustlers?

      1. “Pilgrim, it looks like your soybeans have got my brand on them….”

  2. Bloody sad, that the people have no idea of history and what actually made their tiny brains come alive, it was protein from meat for all the freaking idiots out there. Please kill yourselves in the most ecological green way possible, maybe you can become fodder for hogs.

  3. I happen to know a research doctor very well that is quite happy there will be many useful idiots eating those ingredients in this crap, to study liver/kidney failure in the future. He said the combination of chemicals and compounds in this gunk will blow up innards better than Billy Sol Huroc of SCTV ever used to.

    1. Faster, please.
      At this rate, Dr. Darwin’s theory will be put to the test. Beyond meat probably goes good with a nice vape chaser. Get some funky Schmitt going on with all of your organs at once. As long as they are dumping it in the ocean with the rest of their untreated sewage. Montreal can just add their Beyond Effluent to what they already dump in the St. Lawrence. I am sure glad we are RULED by such ardent environmentalist HYPOCRITES like GERALD BUTTS.

  4. The worst part, and the part that everyone needs to know, is the COST of vegetable patties (i.e., “meatless meat”) as compared to, say, lean hamburger meat.

    I was in my local grocery store and the cost of vegetable patties was 2.5x the cost of lean hamburger meat.

    Sellers of vegetable patties are taking their customers for a ride, i.e., selling what is essentially highly over-priced ground vegetables.

    THAT is what the primary message needs to be.

    1. And maybe the veggies are the stuff the homeless don’t want.. I doubt it is the high grade stuff.

  5. Is this really necessary? Few diners are fooled by fake meat more than once.

    Worry more that carbon taxes will make real meat a rarity on the tables of all but the very wealthy, who will be privileged to dine on organic steak while the rest of us make do with ground-up maggots.

  6. Labeling it “plant based material” & promoting it as “tasting like meat”, is more than enough to keep me on the real meat. Another idiotic example of virtue signaling, by the self proclaimed holier than thou.

    1. GRM this reminds me of soy-burger…..we used to have it back in the early 70’s…..consisted of soy meal, LOTS of water and some ground beef. As you said “fool me once” …. for what you were getting the price was beyond stupid.. Steve O

  7. First they came for the Carbon Dioxide emissions, and I said nothing. Then they came for the Nitrogen emissions.

    As the Dutch government tries to comply with a court order to cut nitrogen pollution, hundreds of angry farmers hit The Hague in protest. The country’s highest administrative court in May said government rules for granting construction permits and farming activities that emit large amounts of nitrogen breach EU legislation. Tjeerd de Groot, an MP from the center-left coalition D66 party, proposed reducing nitrogen emissions by halving the country’s livestock population — cutting the number of pigs by 6 million and chickens by 50 million.

    1. Nitrogen is 80% of the atmosphere and pretty much inert.The only point of this exercise would be to prove how stupid Dutch people really are.

      1. The oil sands make up 10% of Canada’s 1.5% of global CO2 emissions, while CO2 itself makes up 1/20th of 1% of the gases in the atmosphere. Yet here we have four political parties in Canada tripping over themselves to see how fast they can put a million Albertans out of work. I wouldn’t say the Dutch have a monopoly on stupidity.

        1. Tg, there really is not cure for stupid. facts mean nothing to the greedy politicians and their like minded fools.

      2. Well, given I have still quite a few Direct relatives there…I wont disagree with Stupidity. They voted en masse for Multi Cult insanity….when I said to them they are Crazy for allowing – inviting Islam into the country, I was rewarded by being Condescendingly de-friended.
        Didn’t really care then and could care less now either.

        Whatever…Yet, I think that fast forwarding 15 yrs to today I’m thinking some of them have clued in.

    2. The Boers know how to handle those leftist Assholes..
      I Expect it will benefit those that are hog farming.
      Picton anyone…?

      Shoot – Shovel (into a pig barn), and STFU.
      Tjeerd de Groot who..??
      Ik hep him neit gezeen

  8. Google Al Gore /fake meat , the results are shocking . As if the golbull warming bs wasn’t enough , this scumbag stands to make a billion off this idiocy .

  9. “asleep at the wheel”…

    Or, more likely, just on the other side.

    None of them will use the not withstanding clause. None of them will break any of the laws that Trudeau ignores. None of them will cut a trade deal with Trump while ignoring Otrawa…

  10. Meat is food. You need food to survive. Environmentalists have now declared war on farmers, and are doing everything they can to put as many of them out of business as possible, such as denigrating their products (like meat), or starving them of water or land. Therefore, environmentalists are bent on mass murder, react accordingly.

  11. It’s one of the things for which I have to credit the NRA in the U.S. They understood right from the get go that you cannot take one step back in the face of the activists. They have fought tooth and nail against even the most minor measure to limit the access to firearms, not always successfully to be sure, but without let up. They make it clear to any activist that taking on the NRA means a long, protracted and expensive fight. The oil companies and agricultural industry should have taken a page from the NRA playbook. If they had, they wouldn’t be facing a fraction of the insanity, not to mention expense, that they are now.

    1. Yes.
      I don’t smoke but undoubtedly the ban on smoking was a major victory for the rabble.

  12. It makes economic sense. Why pay for cattle feed when you can just eat the feed?

    I don’t advocate this – I’ll probably have a steak this evening.

    1. As a matter of FACT, the Bride of 30 yrs today and I will also dine on a cpl of nice Rib Steaks, Ceasar Salad, a Bottle of J. Lohr Cab Sauv and possibly a nice Spanish style Coffee as we finish our meal..!

      Meatless MEAT..?
      DOG FOOD Hi end…? but still fkn dog food..

  13. Like gas has “10% ethanol” added to cut back on emissions – so too will our burgers and meats have “10% soy” added to cut back on “ahem” emissions

  14. As a bit of an aside, I have a question: if chicken is cheaper than beef, why does a chicken burger cost more than a hamburger? Thanks in advance.

    1. Answer: fashion.

      Whatever is “fashionable” always costs more than yesterday’s model. Have you seen the cost of a Chipotle burrito? Smashed beans have never been so pricey … and so dangerous to eat.

  15. I’m with A Canadian, on this one.
    Why bother?
    Far better to link the face of Al Gore to “Beyond Meat”.
    However the whole beyond meat is false advertising..Oh just like everything Al and friends do.
    I will be buying my vegetables in the “inorganic” section and feasting on the freshly grilled “Meat Carrot”.

  16. “While our western provincial governments remain asleep at the wheel, …”

    Nope. Not asleep at the wheel at all. Rather, sitting down at the table and laughin’ and scratchin’ with the Peta-Vegans.

    And, it gets worse. So are the leaders of your cattlemen’s associations and your farm/ranch orgs.

  17. I live in cattle country. Spent a few days last week helping local ranchers ship.

    The ranch community isn’t asleep at the wheel. They are very active with this issue.

  18. I was at the Mayo Clinic a few years ago. My Dad suffered from Cancer, he never recovered. I went through the clinic for a compete examination. I asked more than one physician if they had any evidence that red meat could be the the cause of some cancers. They all stated that no reliable evidence existed that would substantiate that statement. That was 1990. Keeping in mind that time and again, the Mayo Clinic has received awards as one of the world’s best diagnostic hospitals.

    As for the plant based meat products that are being promoted, I can easily believe that the ”little Greta” cult would fall for that BS hook, line and sinker. Anything to screw Western Canada.

    While we’re on the topic of Little Greta. I have a friend in Quebec who is a strong supporter of Max Bernier, and who refers to little Greta as ”la petite Gratelle.” I speak French quite well, however I always thought that ”Gratelle” was chicken pox. However in proper French, it refers to mange, a disease that afflicts animals (IE Coyotes) that are being devoured by fleas, lice etc. I laughed profusely when I heard that!!

  19. The plan is to make meat so artificially expensive (due to climate change bull crap) that our options will be to pay or buy the pea protein based Beyond Meat.
    Al Gore as a large shareholder needs to be exposed for this nonsense and politicians need to call him out.
    Beyond Meat is two ingredients from dog food: they don’t put color and flavor in dog food.
    Real meat is a lot more healthy especially when recent studies have reported that the previous war on red meat and saturated fat had no reliable basis in facts.
    Our silly sock puppet will be totally on board with this attack on the meat industry. I think he takes great glee in tearing down what has been safely built. Energy & now AG.

    As an aside Beyond Meat stock has dropped 25% this morning, supposedly on good earnings. Hope it’s really bad news.

  20. Non-communist central planning is wonderful…

    Amos 6:1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
    Amos 6:13-14 KJV
    (13) Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
    (14) But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
