Jesus. SIAP. I didnt see a thread about it, but it may be in some other thread.
Pence is one awkward SOB
- Thread starter BABiscuit

He should have stopped at "I've got some red meat for you." Dudes got no game.
I think Pence is even darker and more repulsive than Trump. Or he’s just compromised. Or tragically stupid.
Or, of course, D.

Maybe Pence should learn how to correctly pronounce her first name, although it’s a bit more difficult than Yosemite.
Shoulda just started a “Meat. Meat. Meat...” chant, stepped away from the podium, pulled a T-bone from his pants and tongued it there on stage with unrestrained lust of a love struck teenager on E, feigned (or not) ejaculation, beads of sweat on his forehead, cast the steak aside, go back to the podium to resume speaking while indulging in a cigarette.
He knows how to pronounce it. He was playing repub politics 101.
I can see the headlines now: "Veep to Biden/Harris: You Can't Beat Our Meat!"
Most of the religious right folks are socially awkward.
Oh, he's much worse than Trump. Trump is mentally ill and can't help himself, Pence should know better, and the fact that he believes God has chosen him to be president someday says all you need to know about him.
Where do they get this stuff that the Democrats want to take meat away from them?
To be fair one of the many factors both as it relates to global warming/climate change but also public health is consumption of meat. Of course the right then does the straw man fallacy thing with this by advancing the idea that this means “taking away meat”.
It could be a bit more healthy for all of us... reducing consumption of red meat.
I saw a video of pence delivering this mess. He is not much of a motivator, to be polite.
On the other hand, this is one of the silliest attacks in political history.
For some reason, I now have a craving for Arby's for lunch
The only time Trump attended church was as a child
and he listened to "The Power of Positive Thinking"
from the pulpit of Rev. Norman Vincent Peale.
Pence claims to be an Evangelical who has been
anointed by God to someday be President. Pence
has no clue what genuine Christianity is all about.

America’s Roast Beef Yessir.
I may have to stop by and get a sack full of the original sandwiches. It will provide fuel to make silly posts on the HROT this p.m.

Rational people don’t respond to asinine and irrelevant hypotheticals.

So having recommendations saying “hey, maybe ease up on meat eating” is equivalent to a mandate in your mind?
These are Harris’s words from the link you posted:
“The balance we have to strike here is about what government can and can’t do surrounding incentives than about banning certain behaviors. I’ll be honest with you, I love cheeseburgers from time to time. And there has to be incentives around what we can do to encourage healthy eating and encourage moderation. We have to be better educated about the effect our eating habits have on the environment and the government has to be better about that.”
So she is advocating reevaluating the food pyramid guidelines with updated science surrounding nutrition and the environmental impact on consuming meat. The goal is to encourage people to take personal responsibility, not to ban meat.

Thank you for your honest response.
I wouldn't advocate eating lab-grown meat, but would support changing to more natural, organic farming methods.
The cool thing is we’re just talking guidelines, here. Not like eating as much meat as your arteries can handle would be illegal.
Another Green New Deal supporter (at least part of it)!!
It's a perfect example of why America sucks at Covid. Americans, as a whole, love being unhealthy!
I didn't say she said mandate, merely pointed out that she is, at a minimum, in favor of changing government guidelines.
Ya down?
What’s crazy is this is an effect of coercion. We didn’t get here by accident. We are fed messaging equating freedom to unimpeded and unrestricted consumption. This is both the cause and the effect of a consumerist capitalist culture. And it is entirely unsustainable, despite the unrelenting efforts of those who lord over it.
The American Empire is going to end sooner than later.

I am 100 percent in favor of the United States government using the most recent science and expertise in establishing guidelines and recommendations to encourage its citizens to engage in personally responsible behavior to improve the overall health of our citizenry and our planet.
Who wouldn’t be?
Preach it, brother. Buying unneeded shit is like a religion to many...
It’s ending now. It’s hard to see from our vantage point. But the America of the last 100 years or so is kaput. Goners.
What would be these more natural, organic methods and what makes them healthier or better for consumption?
So when did you abandon the current guidelines or food pyramid?

It's easy to see if you're looking objectively. That's why I sort of scoff at people who are insisting that "Russia" is bringing us down, or China, or whatever the culprit. Americans have CHOSEN- willingly and eagerly CHOSEN- to piss it away all... by... themselves! Give us convenience and consumption! Choices have consequences!
