Criticism of the beef industry this past week was thrust to the forefront of the U.S. political stage when the cooking brand Epicurious announced that it would no longer publish new beef-based recipes as part of “an effort to encourage more sustainable cooking.”
Long a target of environmentalists due to its purported negative effects on the global environment, cattle farming has lately been pilloried by eco-activists for its alleged hastening of warming across the planet due to the high levels of greenhouse gasses that the industry produces every year.
Yet a relatively small but growing body of research suggests that certain types of cattle farming— namely, those in which cows are raised on pastures for their whole lives as opposed to in feedlots — may actually have a carbon-negative effect on the environment by helping to sequester greenhouse grasses under well-managed grasslands. more
If we eliminate all Carbon Dioxide won’t all the trees die? Just asken,
London just suffered through it’s coldest April in decades…
The biggest threat to the planet is liberalism/communism.
And some cows can also make sammiches without virtue signaling.
What isn’t sustainable about cows?
But we have to replace pastures with housing projects to warehouse all the porch monkeys and destroy all single family housing.
Cows also fend off the cold climate change by becoming coats and real leather car seats fend off both the cold and the heat…
I am doing my part to save the planet. Unfortunately, reverse searing all those rib eyes is going to take me a long time.
If cattle is so bad for the environment, what about all those vast herds of bison that used to roam the Great Plains before the evil white man arrived? Do bison produce less methane than cows?
Cattle graze where food crops don’t grow well. An efficient use of farmland.
Beef is a way we get nutrition and tasty deliciousness from the grass we can’t digest.
They also want all your cats and dogs to die because they eat meat.
How dare they!
Moo
Hmmmmm……..makes some sense. Feeding in a pasture of GRASS (bovine’s natural food) probably produces LESS methane; as opposed to being fed CORN (NOT a cow’s natural food) in a feedlot, and most likely having more stomach upset, with more flatulence.
“Cows with guns. Run cows run.”
I’ll go one further.
We should convince the cows to take the bus, car pool, and offer tax breaks if they start buying Electric Vehicles.
Once we reduce their carbon footprint we can get right back to grilling them with good old fashioned Char Coal & Mesquite just like the Cave Men before the Propane revolution.
1 Timothy Chapter 4:1-5 (Douay-Reims)
Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
3 Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Cancel cows!!!
Climate change deniers!!
They’re probably racist, too.
Carbon Die-oxide.
So what the heck, the 70 million bison that roamed the Great Plains never farted?
Larry’s Brother, corned beef and pastrami on rye are the best. The oldest meat market in Spokane besides having an excellent selection of meat and good prices also makes great corned beef and pastrami sandwiches for 5 bucks. And they also sell Lebanon baloney (Amish sweet baloney) and Thuringer (summer sausage) as well. The only bad thing about it is their location because that area of town used to be hooker central, the hookers used to hang out in that area and my dad got hit up by some hookers one time when he was on his lunch break from working at the garage he owned and he was getting a sandwich there and he was over 70. He told them to buzz off. And a mile away we have a new hoity toity fancy pedestrian bridge (which cost over 10 million dollars to build) over the BN railroad tracks that connects the Eastern part of downtown to the University district where Gonzaga is located that is affectionately known as the Bridge to Hookerville. It got that name from a former local radio talk show host who pissed off a lot of the powers to be in local politics. He’s no longer has a talk show which is too bad because he really po’d some of the local muckety mucks who hated his guts.
