US repeals meat labeling law after trade rulings against it

US repeals meat labeling law after trade rulings against it. Want to know where your meat comes from? Those days are over. Thanks to Congress you now have the luxury of going to the grocery store and not knowing where your meat comes from. Mad cow meat from Brazil? Meat raised and processed in disgusting conditions and fed who know’s what from China? No problemo! We wonder how many people will have to get sick or die before this changes? Us? We’re finding a local butcher who gets his meat from local stock. We may even say screw it to eating at restaurants.Raw Steak

“I’d like some sweet, delicious global warming, medium rare with a side of French fries. To go.”

Uh-oh. Bad news from Great Britain. Meat is killing Mother Earth. Clogging up the old gal’s arteries and slowly but surely cutting off her blood supply.

Uh-oh. Bad news from Great Britain. Meat is killing Mother Earth. Clogging up the old gal’s arteries and slowly but surely cutting off her blood supply.

As the Times UK reports:

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.

This from Lord Stern, perhaps the most appropriately named man on earth.
