Where’s The Beef? DNC Asks Food Vendors To ‘Prioritize Lower-Emission Meats’

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) published guidance that urges food vendors to serve plant-based options or “lower-emission” meat.

The DNC’s sustainability guidance for food vendors serving customers at the convention in Chicago suggests that they should “offer low-emission menu choices,” including plant-based options, and “prioritize” chicken where possible because of its lower carbon intensity. Environmental activists and institutions like the United Nations have consistently asserted that reforming agricultural practices and decreasing red meat consumption are key to bringing down emissions and fighting climate change.

Beef is considered to be by far the most carbon-intensive type of meat to produce, followed by lamb and farmed crustaceans, according to The New York Times.

The guidance is not binding, though the DNC has also created a survey for vendors, hosts of ancillary events and other stakeholders to fill out with information about the steps they took to make their contributions to the convention more environmentally friendly.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That may be what they asked but did the vendors comply?  And if they did, how much did they actually sell? :shrug:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

WTF???

Just over 100 years ago there were herds of bison, large enough to cover the plains to the horizon, and take three days to pass.

Go ahead, and try to tell me they never farted.

I'd bet more methane comes from landfills and city sewer systems than all the beef cattle in the US.

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.
