A Meat War Is Waged Across State Lines
« on: March 20, 2021, 04:32:16 pm »
New York Times by Marie Fazio 3/16/2021

Depending on which side of the Colorado-Nebraska state line you’re standing on, the meat-related significance of March 20 varies drastically.

Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado recently declared the date to be “MeatOut Day,” seeking to decrease meat consumption and encourage meat eaters to consider plant-based diets. Though Mr. Polis’s proclamation was largely ceremonial, Gov. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska took notice, and on Monday he declared March 20 to be “Meat on the Menu Day” in his state.

Thus began a carnivorous culture war complicated by the prominent agriculture industries in both states, where livestock accounts for meaty portions of the economy.

“That is a direct attack on our way of life here in Nebraska,” Mr. Ricketts said at a news conference at Frank Stoysich Meats, a butcher shop in Omaha, where he announced the creation of Meat on the Menu Day.

Protect The Harvest

We here at Protect The Harvest have an obligation to inform our followers of the issues going on in our communities. With that in mind, we will be participating in National #MeatIn Day! What is #MeatIn day? It is a direct retaliation created by the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association against the signed proclamation by Colorado Governor, Jared Polis. The proclamation states March 20th as a MeatOut Day where citizens are encouraged to not eat any meat products.

We stand with Colorado’s meat industry against these attacks and are encouraging everyone to have a #MeatIn day! MeatIn at a restaurant or MeatIn with your friends and family for meals featuring meat. Let’s all stand together today and support the meat industry on National #MeatIn Day!

Meat-loving resistance tramples Colorado governor's vegan declaration
 By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 17, 2021

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis wanted residents to go a day without eating meat, but instead he spurred a stampede to the steakhouses.

The Democratic governor’s “MeatOut Day” proclamation encouraging Coloradans to skip saturated fats on March 20 has backfired spectacularly, feeding resistance with a “Meat In Day” that has carnivores vowing to outdo themselves in celebration of the state’s livestock industry.

“I think this is a wake-up call,” said Terry Fankhauser, executive vice president of Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, which launched the Meat In Movement in response to the gubernatorial proclamation. ...  Washington Times

I was pretty sure there were a significant number of cattle growers in CO who would be unappreciative of "their" goobernor's attack on their livelihood.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

And in response...26 counties in Colorado said they will have a "meat in" day today.

Polis is a joke and he's dragging that state down into the depths with the entire West Coast and New York

For Polis..."meat out" could also be a day of abstinence for him as well.  *rimshot*

Eating meat is natural and scientific. Vegans are not following the science. You have teeth (canines, incisors) that rip and tear for a reason. To eat meat. Do not deny the science.
