Cory Booker says meat-centric ‘Standard American Diet’ not sustainable

[Anonymous]

If Trump's election told us anything about Americans, it's that they refuse to be adults and listen to hard truths.

They want someone who will lie to their face, if it means avoiding a difficult conversation or compromise.

Ok school me. What other politicians have legislated food policy to America? Besides Michelle Obama’s unpopular and gross school lunch program?

Michelle Obama did not create the school lunch program. She also didn't create agricultural subsidies, nor did she create state and local food taxes, or SNAP, or other policies that affect what food is produced, how much it costs, and what people eat.

True.

OMG are democratic politicians vying for who can make the party look the looniest?!


We will never win at this rate.

Surely you know Hillary was caught on video lying through her teeth... saying one thing on tv, and the complete opposite to her donors.

So healthy foods are gross? Do you know what percentage of a heinz ketchup bottle is sugar? Hint, about 1/2.

That's not the point. The point is free people are able to make free choices about what they eat. The government may advocate for certain lifestyles that they believe is more healthy, but they should not plan on enforcing what people can or can't eat through law.

Well, I'm personally tired of paying for your diabetes and heart disease.

There is no right to eat meat or posses animal by-products.

And I’m tired of watching you head cases go vegan because you’re too chicken for a real eating disorder. Put on your big girl pants and barf it up like everyone else.

This is actually not a controversial statement. He didn't say he was going to legislate veganism -- the OP just made that up -- he said we have to consider policies to reduce our consumption of so much meat.

Please name the policies.

Well....as was noted in a recent document provided for us all to read before it was redacted...get rid of all the fartin' cows!

Omg thank you. Except the barfing part. But if you must I truly understand.

I am sure the Dems might want you to weigh the vomit and report in so they know what you are doing with your food waste. Probably want you to recycle it into the school lunch program.

Cory has to remain trim for his “girlfriend.”

Because eggs don't eat grass.

Nobody is trying to exert control of you for their own shits and giggles.

People are trying to ensure you have a freaking PLANET TO LIVE ON.

Like it or not he is right. I grew up around ranchers as did my DH. The water consumption for beef is substantial! 1800 gallon for ONE POUND of beef!! Additionally, when you drink your almond milk remember: it is 1900 gallons for a pound of almonds. Pork is 576 gallons a pound and chicken is 468 a pound. Beef and almonds really not sustainable. Vegetables are so much lower in water consumption.

We love meat but have cut back considerably. Mind you I also have celiac disease so gluten free vegan really isn’t sustainable either.

Swing for the fences, Spartacus!!!!

Don't stop at meat and fish, though. Make food-rationing a intergral plank of your campaign platform!!!

Nothing. But no one cares what his (or anyone else's) personal diet is. Keep it to yourself and stop trying to interfere with what the rest of us choose to eat. Nothing worse than a food scold.
