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. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
