Before she dropped out of the 2020 presidential race, Vice President Harris said she supported changing the food pyramid to incentivize Americans to eat less red meat because of climate change.

A voter asked Harris if she supported changing the nation’s dietary guidelines to reduce consumption of red meat, alleging that climate change is linked to the “overproduction of red meat,” during a CNN town hall in September 2019.

“I think the point that you’re raising in a broader context, which is that, as a nation, we actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating because we have a problem in America,” Harris said. “We can talk about the subject of this conversation, we can talk about the amount of sugar in everything, we could talk about soda. We could go on and on.”

Using the words "eating meat" in the same sentence with Kamala's name should be against modern journalistic standards.

Maybe she meant she'd eat more caviar...

She'll have to take my Angus beef double bacon cheeseburger from my cold, dead hands.

I prefer that my elected officials don't tell me what to eat. I'm just silly that way.

I am a red meat eater.  Beef is in a league all its own.

But I will say, with America trending to overweight and obese in the numbers we are reaching, we need to do something to improve health.  I don't give a **** about climate change, for I believe 100% it is a hoax, but the health and wellbeing of our populace, it certainly can be improved when 70 -80% are overweight or obese.

Perhaps we should have a junk tax.  Dems love to tax us to death.  For all the items in the junk aisle, add a 10% junk tax to it.  Or perhaps we tax all processed foods which have little to no nutrition value, and tend to make folks fat.

We are already taxing to death tobacco, alcohol, why not junk food or processed food?

Or we could just make it impossible for people to use their SNAP/food stamp benefits to buy junk.

I love to eat my share of junk food, chocolate chip cookies, potato chips, Cheez-its, pizza, and licorice.  If I had to pay a 10% or 20% tax purchasing that kind of food, it would motivate me to pass by on those items when shopping.

If I just cut out the above from my diet, I lose one pound per day.  I was up around 226, and now I am hanging around 201 pounds.  I tend to plateau  at 201, with it virtually impossible to get below 200.  I have to starve myself to fall below 200 pounds. 

In regard to SNAP dollars spent, I agree completely.

SNAP dollars will be spent on choice cuts of meat, which will be sold for 50 cents on the dollar to get cash.

History has proven that she is easy!
