Good news! Prince Charles has flown into Washington, DC aboard his private jet to lecture Americans about our wasteful lifestyles. This time the heir to the British throne is upset because we eat too much meat.
Credit the Telegraph UK for the details:
America’s appetite for beef is jeopardising the world’s water supply, the Prince of Wales said during a visit to the US.
In a speech in Washington, the Prince said that the need for vast amounts of irrigation in industrialised food production was threatening to deplete reserves of the “magical substance we have taken for granted for so long”.
“For every pound of beef produced in the industrial system, it takes two thousand gallons of water,” he told the Future of Food conference at Georgetown University.
“That is a lot of water and there is plenty of evidence that the Earth cannot keep up with the demand.”
Americans eat more than 41kg of beef a year on average, according to the UN, almost twice that consumed by Britons and four times the international average.
Back off, bub. Or should we say Prince Bub. We don’t need your kind coming to this country telling us what to eat and what not to eat. That’s Michelle Obama’s job.
We don’t often find ourselves supporting the monarchy, but in this case we pray that Queen Elizabeth live forever.
Pip, pip, cheerio. Back on the plane now.

sung to the theme song of Mr.Ed show
a horse is a horse of course of course
and nobody would wish to be a tampoon
inside of a horse of course
unless of course that very horse
is Camilla Parker Bowles
go right to the source and ask this horse
whos the only man willing to give her intercourse
the question may be coarse
but the answer of course
is the pervy prince of wales
I'd do the same thing I do when I see PETA: eat a nice, juicy hamburger. In his case, it'd be a steak.
This guy is looking more and more like the farmer Arthur Hogget in Babe the movie. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1695520768/ch0009445
Interestingly enough James Cromwell played Charle's father in "The Queen".
You mean the one on the right? Yeah, I can see the resemblance.

maybe next time he comes to preach to us about conservation he'll have the oxford rowing team bring him here instead of a private jet
QEII doesn't have to live forever, she just has to outlive her son. I am being perhaps cruel, but what's his name gets no respect from me. I disregard people who tell me they know better than me on how to live my own life.
I'd tell the prince to eat shit but then I realized it takes 7 gallons of water to flush a turd.....didn't want to give him any other looney ideas.
Prince Chuckie: "Don't eat beef, it cuts down on my dating opportunities." Lipstick just ain't for pigs anymore.
He's a water head.
But, what many people don't understand, is that water goes in a cycle. You pump it out of the ground, or out of a river, and use it for whatever. Then it goes back into the ground, or river, or wherever. It evaporates, and returns as rain, or is pumped back out of the ground, or is taken from the river again. It's a cycle, you dummy! The water is still water, and it will be used again for whatever purpose we desire. Very little water ever gets used in a way that changes it into something else.
Well, you put vinegar and water into Charles, and he turns from a gasbag into a douchebag. Oh, the miracles of modern science and the water cycle!
Lol...Add a little "fresh lemon scent" and you may have something you can get a patent on!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
