What happened to the days when liberals were free thinkers?  At best they are now nags and scolds. At worst they are Stalinists

These folks would do better to address their self loathing in therapy sessions or religious observances.

When you see reports like this, follow the money. Don’t be surprised if this report was funded by the Japanese seafood industry, which was the staple of the Japanese diet until beef entered their market.

 So often, in this country, studies are published poo-pooing anything that has public acceptance only to later find out  that the study was funded by a competitor.

I doubt anyone has ever traced the funding for the "anti beef" gestapo, but I tried several years ago and it was astounding.

There is a movement to get all American landowners off of their land. Cattlemen are the biggest landowners in the world. The destruction of the beef industry is simple, no beef, no cattlemen to hold the land and then the land reverts to "government ownership".

As an example I traced one group into California and then of all places the funding and front people ended up in South America. I kid you not. Upon reaching the money trail there it all of a sudden went into shadowy figures who were pumping in the millions to drive this campaign.

I will suggest to you if you look the same shadow people who end up with "government funding contracts in the billions" also are driving Global Warming as these groups are all the same.

There is a movement in the globalists to turn America into one big nature park. I will not go into the details as it gets very strange the reasoning why America must be this health park for the rich to play, but if you bother to find a video of Al Gore addressing the Future Farmers of America back in the 1990's he told them in an exact quote, "You young people don't bother to go into farming as America is going to import all of our food from South America".

See what I mean about who is behind all of this.

The fact is the prairie of the United States is built for grazing and nothing else as it is not cropland as it is too arid. Either buffalo and elk would be there or cattle. It is an ecosystem which needs to be grazed which includes hooves churning up the grass to make it grow better. If the cattle were not there massive grass wildfires would sweep over that region yearly causing more global smoke than beef ever produce.

As a final note in this huckster numbers for people to understand, when these anti beef people like anti bio fuel groups all start "equating gas numbers" or production numbers, they add up every drop of gas, diesel fuel, fertilizer and any product associated with it to "attain their number".

So you understand it would be like asking you, "How much did it cost you to drive to work today?" and you would reply 1 billion dollars.

How can that be as you only used 10 dollars in fuel, well in the wacko numbers they would include the cost of drilling the oil, bringing it to America, refining it, the building of asphalt roads, the manufacture of your rubber tires, the cost of computers in Silicon Valley to the cost of digging iron out of the earth smelting it....oh and the coal too.

That is how they do it and I even alerted Rush Limbaugh to this when one of his fill ins was spouting this same anti bio fuel nonsense as "so expensive and dangerous".

That though is how they twist numbers and no one bothers past the headline.

Beef, elk, deer, buffalo, antelope are all wonderful sources of concentrated protein which produce healthy people with great eyesight. Fresh meat is the only complete food in the world people can literally survive on alone. It is why the Indians could live alone on the meat they harvested.

Beef is the greatest producer of freedom in the world as it keeps landowners on the land empowering all and giving the world a renewable healthy food supply.

(Oh and for those who think mad cow. Those were DAIRY ANIMALS FROM CANADA in low grade bi product uses. Beef steak comes from beef cattle as do the finest hamburgers in Angus, Hereford, Charolais, Shorthorn, Simmetal etc....)

This former cowboy knows this business and I still have some pets called beef cattle as they are wonderful creatures at mowing grass and weeds. If you like freedom, eat beef as it keeps the Jeffersonian dream alive in an agrairian American.

God bless.

"Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane
released from the animals' digestive systems, while the acid and
fertilising substances come primarily from their waste. "

When I see these studies that deplore the environmental damage done by cows, it kind of begs a couple of questions. Cows aren't the only animals that emit methane, carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases. And I'm pretty sure every animal produces waste. So how does the greenhouse gas emissions and fertilising compounds from animals raised for food compare to that from the trillions of animals that live in the wild? And haven't animals been on this planet a long, long time? Why weren't their greenhouse gases harmful before?

After seeing that picture, I think I'm gonna go out tonight and order a filet of global warming - medium rare.

So, eating a steak is worse than driving?  Let's think this through.  If I do NOT eat a steak, the cow remains alive, continuing to spew the methane gas.

I'll take mine medium-well, and will promise to drive my wife's SUV to the restaurant.
