They’re Coming… “Meat Police” to Save the Planet from Global Warming — Update: Gov’t on Power-Grab Path to Monitoring Our Body Fat & Poop
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on October 27, 2009
The uniformed “meat police” aren’t knocking on any Americans’ doors just yet, but we warned you just a few weeks ago that this kind of escalating micromanagement with meat and climate change likely would be coming soon. The list of pending or proposed demands and restrictions continues to grow at an alarming pace: Eat your pets, have no children, limit your electronics, decimate then destroy the American coal mining industry, encourage and sell American offshore drilling to other countries but deny America the right to drill her own oil… now meat consumption “lawlessness” proposal is potentially going on the table in the UK for review. Another nail in people’s liberties to stop (translation: make huge bucks by taxing people to kingdom come) the NON-EXISTENT global warming scare.
We’re Confiscating That Burger! Obama Administration Wants to Control Americans Eating Meat?
The radical eco-zealot (and health-zealot) writings are on the wall, the global warming scammers are overreaching once again, lead by Lord Stern, the Grand Global Warming Huckster of them all in the UK. Then, just a short hop-skip-jump to it being embraced by Al Gore and Barack Obama and the other climate change shysters.
First, the price of all meat will go through the ozone with outrageous sin taxes, then, the Meat Police will be knocking on your door, if these idiots have their way with pushing through this grotesque junk science.
From UK Times Online:Climate chief Lord Stern: give up meat to save the planet
People will need to consider turning vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.
In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”
Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.
Lord Stern, the author of the influential 2006 Stern Review on the cost of tackling global warming, said that a successful deal at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring costs for meat and other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases.
He predicted that people’s attitudes would evolve until meat eating became unacceptable. “I think it’s important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating,” he said. “I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food.”
Outlawing/penalizing cow and pig farts is utter nonsense. No real science here, none at all. The eco-nuts avoid real science, hoping no one notices.
It’s a brave new world… These unhinged nuts would have us all living in caves and eating acorns if they could.
But not ALL. Only for “the little people,” those of “the collective,” those in impoverished nations who can’t speak out. Trust that our POTUS and the other G20 power-grabbing socialist heads will still get their beloved burgers and steaks and pork chops, while punishing the rest of the world. Because, even though high taxes and penalties will be levied and pocketed by these governments, the bureaucrats will, no doubt in my mind, excuse themselves from participating. Statist, socialist hypocrisy. Totalitarianism. They are above the tyrannical, oppressive rules they pen. It’s so much like Hollywood celebrities who decry people who air travel while they themselves are TRAVELING BY AIR. So much like it, but a thousand times worse.
This is the gradual trek to tyranny, boys and girls.
Speaking out now is imperative. Call or email your members in Congress, go to a tea party, organize a protest, arm yourselves with knowledge.

UPDATE: More scary, power-grabbing, enviro-nut nonsense, OCTOBER 30, 2009…
From Pundit & Pundette, Flushing our freedoms:
But it’s for the Planet!
Mark Steyn on “Copenhagen” and what it means to you:
“We all too often mistake the nature of those negotiations in Copenhagen,” remarked professor Flannery. “We think of them as being concerned with some sort of environmental treaty. That is far from the case. The negotiations now ongoing toward the Copenhagen agreement are in effect diplomacy at the most profound global level. They deal with every aspect of our life and they will influence every aspect of our life, our economy, our society.”
Hold that thought: “They deal with every aspect of our life.” Did you know every aspect of your life was being negotiated at Copenhagen? But in a good way! So no need to worry. After all, we all care about the environment, don’t we? So we ought to do something about it, right? And, since “the environment” isn’t just in your town or county but spreads across the entire planet, we can only really do something at the planetary level. But what to do? According to paragraph 38 on page 18 of the latest negotiating text, the convention will set up a “government” to manage the “new funds” and the “related facilitative processes.”
Yes, a government.
Read on and learn some surprising facts about Big Brother’s interest in the most intimate aspects of our lives. We’re talking about the monitoring of our trash, our poop, and the ultimate privacy invasion, at least for me, our body fat…

About the author
OMG !!!
Does this mean Obama can no longer import $100 a lb. meat from Japan to entertain the hangers-on ?
No !!! This will not happen !
The taxpayers will be subjected to my rules, and will not question me.
I will run a transparent and open administration unlike the previous administration, and the economic misery that they have put this country through will be eradicated.
Obama, we got the the MOP !
Hmm, why are cow farts so bad for the environment, but all the flatulence people will produce on a bean-based diet won’t be a problem? This hardly bears thinking about. Beans, beans the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you… Let’s all buy stock in Beano!
On a serious note, read this: “Eco-Nuts Out to Destroy Life As We Know It” at http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/10/27/dan-gainor-eco-nuts-al-qaeda/ The eventual goal of these wonderful folks is to eventually rid the earth of all humans.
Beano stock… LOL!
On a more serious note, I don’t think they want ALL humans gone from Earth. They themselves, of course, will be permitted to live and all others who think identically like them as well. All others, kaput…
These people are major menaces, and must be stopped. The fact that anyone is seriously listening to them and their wackadoodle theories is disturbing.
Harry Reid made a comment that the tourists observing the capital building “stank”.
With all the CO2 being emitted within the Senate, and the House chambers, and allowing for their diet, whatever the hell that is, given the fact that their cafeteria crashed economically some years ago, and they are eating on our dime every day wherever they desire to imbibe.
Harry is an arrogant SOB, and needs the next election to show him so.
momcat,… you say it like it is !
Cow farts are ok, they do it in a field, you know wind, rain, nature.
Nothing like that in congress, to my knowledge.
Hi Vicki,
I’m glad to see we Brits are not alone in resisting the global warmongering. I have added you to my blogroll. I will warn you that sometimes I get a bit cross and use naughty words. I promise not to use naughty words when commenting here.
Kind regards
Henry.
Henry,
I’ve looked at your blog and it’s great (and you’re right about the language)! Should you forget and accidentally use a “naughty” word here time and again, I will edit it for you. No worries, mate. Would love your input here whenever you have a few minutes.
For those readers who’d like to take a look at this rather salty British blog, here’s the link: Grumpy Old Sod’s Law
This global warming hoax isn’t as prevalent here as it is in the UK, but it’s been picking up speed.
Thanks for popping in.
