    Cattle play a colossal role in climate change: As the single largest agricultural source of methane, a potent planet-warming gas, the worlds 940 million cows spew nearly 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissionsmuch of it through belches and droppings.

    And, yet, the Tree Huggers want us to get our protein from beans to reduce methane emissions.

    I wonder how much money the government is "investing" in all of these studies in order to eliminate 2.6% of greenhouse gases.

    Too much, you can bet. But that's the norms. Most of the money is actually going to their money laundering schemes and then back into their own pockets.

    I don't know how they do it, but out west they can raise livestock in
    near desert conditions...

    They've been doing that since days of the Old West.

    Sounds like the "meatless" idea would be like robbing Peter to pay
    Paul.

    Which is, again, normal for these people.

    But the goal is always toward control of the population. And not having enough food is an effective method of control.


    ... Sure I can help you out! Which way did you come in?

    So although the livestock industry produces a "huge" amount of greenhouse gas, getting rid of it only eliminates 2.6% of said gasses. I wonder how much money the government is "investing" in all of these studies in order to eliminate 2.6% of greenhouse gases.

    The benefit isn't reducing greenhouse gases, the benefit is getting off on controlling large quantities of humans.

    Since the globalists are already so successful in making people think that Jews are bad, and that Trump is bad, why not see if it's possible to get them to eat bugs?

    When Democrats put the final nail in democracy's coffin, and when socialist food pick-up day arrives, it will be "more economical" to hand us a box of bugs than to hand us a box of beef products.

    Some want to go a step farther and eliminate most all farming by having
    us "eat ze bugs." The ones that really grow large enough to be much of
    a meal grow in areas where, you guessed it, there is a lot of farming.
    So less farming = fewer bugs.

    I liked how the story also pointed out where fertilizer comes from, and what it takes to artificially create it. Sounded to me like the net benefit would be somewhere near zero.

    It's zero.

    To farm bugs for food would take just as much energy, use the same amount of land, and produce the same amount of waste.

    None of these ideas are to "save the planet". They are to reduce our freedom and control us.

    I still believe there is an "and China" part to that equation.

    I an wondering, too, if part of it is to get Americans to eat less meat so that the Chinese have more to eat. Hence my mention of them owning farms and meat packing companies in the USA. They bought up Smithfield in 2013. I wonder which administration allowed that?

    Since most of that occurs through shell companies and 3rd parties, I'm not going to be too quick to point the finger at someone. Obviously, if someone dug a bit, they would see that it's China behind the scenes. But unless there's a warning sign, no one will dig.

    In this case, there was not a shell company involved. A Chinese company
    bought it up all in the open. Of course, all Chinese companies are at
    least partly owned by the CCP. That may be the part that some US citizens didn't realize then, but I can guarantee our government knew it.

    It didn't get much press until COVID hit, though.

    IHMO: The Chinese buy up is a way to prop up their failing economy - for the short term. But that's normal for Communist countries.

    Could be, but they are producing meat for export back into their country.

    You got that right. China needs a way to prop up its economy before it completely falls apart.

    We could always have a cold war. That worked well with Russia. It took a while, but it finally collapsed under its own incompetence.

    Seeing how much China controls the information flow, if we start seeing signs that their economy is having problems, then it's having REALLY big problems.

    I agree. Sort of like how they didn't have hardly any COVID cases for
    about the first year.
