Damn liberals always telling you what to do.
Conservatives just make it prohibitively expensive to do what you want to do.
Just wait until they start policing what those on food stamps are putting in their grocery carts again. I swear that was almost an entire genre of “reporting” for them for a while there.
let them eat cake
This administration is going to accidentally encourage a ton of earth friendly behavior. Won’t offset the evil being done, but it’s kind of funny.
“But if it is too expensive — unlike fuel, Benny — you can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs."
“Let them eat salmon.” LOL.
So there are alternative proteins. That’s a free market situation. But there is no alternative to the petro-state. Doing less driving is communism.
Lets eat the rich, then.
LOL, she was soooo close for a moment, I guess. She’s still adhering to protein mythologies, it seems. It’s 2026. Do people still not know?
But I find it funny that the cons clutched their pearls so hard over Michelle suggesting kids get more exercise and eat vegetables. And now it’s a con that is depriving them of beef and telling them to make do.
I thought the liberals were going to make conservative eat bugs and live in a shoebox and own nothing?
They are hypocrites, they don’t care and neither does the electorate. They would have dragged her regardless of what she did or said. Remember they were making a commotion about a fucking tan suit.
And they said the democrats wanted to take away hamburgers.
Well, she didn’t tell them to eat rice and beans, which would have been too woke, I guess. Even if much smarter on a whole lot of levels.
She pointed them at other animal foods, or as become the new fashion, “protein”.
It is kinda nice that Impossible Steak Bites now costs less per unit of mass than beef does. Going vegetarian starting to make more sense every day…
That’s good to hear. Given all the inputs into things like beef, plant-based should almost always be cheaper. I’m still irritated when something vegetarian/vegan on the menu is as expensive or even more expensive than the omnivore edition.
Few things highlight the deep distortions that actual social engineering does to the marketplace as much as that.
Of course, buying certain ingredients and making plant-based yourself can often be far cheaper than eating out.
Close enough… get the guillotines.
Is Trump about to give the same inadvertent boost to plant-based diets and the environment as he did for renewables?
He’s so far right that he’s popping out on the left like in Kid Icarus. Did you hear about those $5k socialism checks? EVs are getting adopted en masse. Now reducing beef in diets? What’s next, common sense gun control? Fully legalized cannabis? Trust busting?
It’s too bad he’s holding up gigantic projects like wind and solar. Also, many subsidies for EV and rooftop solar disappeared. So, yeah, if he brought that back, demand might shoot way up thanks to the failed policies of donnie.
Got that Marie Antoinette energy.
Have y’all seen the price of cake?
I went to the grocery store tonight, a single prefabricated slice of cheesecake was $9. That should be the price at a nice restaurant.
Considering that beef is a potential carcinogen, it’s actually good advice. Plus, cattle are a massive producer of methane, which is far worse for global warming than CO2
Not to mention screw worms.
Good message, wrong reasoning.
Ecologists have been telling people [from rich countries] to minimize beef consumption or drop it altogether for years, but not because of its price tag.
Oil and beef are expensive. 😞
Oil and beef are expensive. 😀
Just let them eat cake!
