  1. Hey wait – guy on right (customer) is making the ‘white power’ sign! – mercy sakes !!

    1. And the white dreadlocked woman at the meatless counter has a “Don’t Tread on Me” snake tattoo on her forearm!!

      Alt.Right ! Alt.Right ! All Right !! (Spoken in my best Matthew McConaughey voice)

    1. Don’t fret Morroco Mole. Soon you’ll be able to buy meat grown in a petri dish. It will already be in the shape of a hamburger… and taste like chicken!

    1. I love a good fart joke – is that wrong of me? I was vegetarian for 10 months back in 1973 because a boyfriend insisted on it. After he left, I thoroughly enjoyed my first medium rare steak. Humans are at the top of the food chain because we are omnivorous (sp?).

  4. Time for your daily Ramadan celebration update….. 1839 dead and 1081 wounded.

  5. Soylent Green is our future folks if these climate change whacko alarmists get their way.
    It may not be people but it will be green in the form of pea protein.

  7. It’s the presumed guilt behind the meatless meat and lab grown meat that irks me.

    No, killing animals for food doesn’t bother me.

    No, I don’t lose sleep about factory farming because I suspect that most of what is reported is an exaggeration or outright lies. For instance, I know that most cattle in Canada is pasture raised and the only “factory farming” is at the feedlots before slaughter, probably less than 5% of the animal’s total lifespan.

    No, I don’t worry about my meat consumption causing climate change or water depletion. Since cattle replaced bison the net methane is about the same. Rain and water reservoirs are used for both crops and livestock so fears about water usage for meat are overblown.

    No, I don’t think land used for pasture should be converted to cropland because 1) land used for pastures aren’t usually suitable for crops 2) there is less biodiversity on cropland than pastures.

    No, I’m not worried about my health because I think meat is healthy if it’s part of a balanced diet.

    The marketing campaign based on fear, guilt and half-truths annoys me.

    1. On my quarter section I recently had 2 inches of rain. That equates to about 27 acre feet of water or 33 million litres. Think about that. It would take 25 cows 26,000 days to consume that one rainfall.

      A typical steer will be around 22 months at slaughter. I’d say best case is half of that on pasture and the other half housed. Worse case is about a quarter on pasture and the other three quarters housed. There is winter. There is putting the feed to them to get them fattened. There are exceptions of course.

      1. Is that amount typical? On my relatives ranches the cows are rarely housed not even in winter, in bad weather or due to predators. Odd story: one uncle lost a dozen or so cows in a single lightning strike. Coyotes are always a problem in both northern and southern sask in spring with young calves. Yet, cattle remains in the pastures until auction. Their operations are/were fairly big so that might make a difference.

        1. Cows are different than the fat cattle. Cows will be grass fed, hay fed. Calves sold as stockers (5-9 months old) likely won’t see housing until sale. Stockers may go out to pasture the next summer or else stay housed and then into the feedlot to finish.

      2. “On my quarter section I recently had 2 inches of rain”
        You lucky man.
        A good part of Saskatchewan has had less than a 1/3 of an inch since April 1. It is dry.

    2. My Father in law used to run beef. Every fall he would take a couple off the grass and grain them for a month and then have them killed and quartered for our enjoyment, it was a Christmas present. He also used to have them hung for 21 days before cutting. Best beef I have ever eaten.

  8. The vegans are equivalent to a religious belief system. Its all about beliefs, not a well rounded diet.

    They take the position that all animals are sentient beings, therefore, should be left alone and respected as equals to live, and that eating another sentient being is barbaric and immoral. Religious beliefs. FIne, have a bone to pick with factory farming, in some of the ways its done, but, how else do you raise thousands of chickens strictly for human consumption? They are not being raised to name them Gerty, Henny Penny, or Chick chick.

    This is why they act like maniacs at certain style of restaurants, and ag facilities, they see themselves as freedom fighters, rather than the true terrorists that they are. You cant reason with them, instead, let their incomplete diet consume them. Checkout ill vegans, starving vegans on YT, its pretty shocking, every vegan should be forced to watch these to see what long term veganism does to the naive subject, after 5 years, its flagrant malnutrition.

    1. – And as always, the Law of Unintended Consequences is leaning on the fence:

      “Oh Mister Vegan – what happens to all these animals once we don’t eat them anymore?”

      “Why, they’ll be in PARADISE! They’ll all stay in their pastures, get all the food they want, and all die a ripe old age, perfectly safe and happy!”

      “Not in MY pasture, they won’t – this is a working farm, if they ain’t paying my bills, they’re gone! The land gets tilled, and the ‘yotes can have the animals for all I care…”

      ” – YOU FIEND! You animal-hating FIEND! Where’s your sense of COMPASSION?!”

      ” – Right next to my last property tax assessment, if I ‘member correctly…”

    2. During the middle ages meat became more available and people became healthier. tell me, could there possibly be a correlation?

  9. I tell people that “cattle eating grass IS plant based meat”.
    Some get it, some don’t.

  11. There’s a sign in a good hamburger joint in Kitsilano, Vancouver that always makes me blush: YOU CAN’T BEAT VERA’S MEAT.

    1. Does Vera have meat? Is it a trans? holy moly you left out a lot of info.
