WaPo Tries To Wreck Thanksgiving Day With ‘Climate-Friendly’ Foods

As Americans brace for one of the most expensive Thanksgiving celebrations in years due to inflation, one Washington Post columnist lectured families on how to hold a “climate-friendly” feast.

Washington Post food columnist Tamar Haspel’s ideal climate meal may be a little strange, even for eco-fanatics.

Haspel, in a Nov. 17 article, recommended putting oysters in “stuffing” or using them in “dressing” because they “have the lightest climate impact of any fish in the sea.” [emphasis, links added]

And that was only the beginning. The climate propaganda piece was headlined, “The climate impact of the Thanksgiving meal might surprise you” and hit on most of the culinary favorites for the holiday.

A few years ago we tried a Keto friendly Thanksgiving.  It sucked.  Never again.

Well, having only food that sucks is one way to lose weight.  Maybe you were on to something?   :pondering:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The Washington Post is staffed with the sort of people who are angry and frustrated that others do not share their perpetual anxiety. They live in constant fear that somewhere out there, unenlightened people might actually be enjoying their lives without having to be told how.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Oysters in stuffing?

So more meat? Thought it was bad?
