The environmentalist folks over at PETA are up to their regular shenanigans again.  Now they’re requesting Hormel, of which PETA owns 100 shares of stock, to place a label on their meat products to indicate the footprint being passed on to consumers through the purchase of the meat.  “If meat is on the menu, so if a hefty serving of of greenhouse gases,” says one PETA representative.

While I certainly don’t agree with just about anything coming from PETA, I found this article interesting.  Gore apparently admitted during a blogging conference that he has had some effect on the environment by continuing to eat meat which, according to this PETA article, is more harmful than all cars, trucks, SUVs and planes combined.  Gore needs to walk before he can run, says the article, but I say it’s just another do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do attitude that demonstrates how elite Gore thinks he is when compared to the rest of us.  Shouldn’t …

In the most ridiculous and blatant attempt to change your lifestyle, ABC News is suggesting that we all cut back on our meat consumption by one-quarter. The problem?

What we’re seeing here is a politicizing …

On Sunday we learned about new eco-funerals complete with natural fiber clothing and cardboard coffins.  The bad thing is that, just like with real non-eco-funerals, you can go as cheap or expensive as you’d like.  I, for one, would like to see the most expensive cardboard coffin.  Surely it can’t compare to some nice mahogany.  Also, it was determined that a carbon tax won’t make drivers stop using their vehicles.  People love their cars, and even after the price of gas has shot up to record levels, people still drive.

Al Gore is being criticized for his meaty diet from this Fox News article. Sources close to the ex-veep say during his unsuccessful 2000 presidential bid, he ate lots of steak and sausage. PETA says that livestock raised for food causes more greenhouse emissions than all modes of transportation combined.

The global warming hoax is not about saving our planet at all. It’s about control of your lifestyle - what you drive, what you use for lighting and what you eat. The real threat to our liberties comes in the form of EPA regulations, which determine what kind of vehicle you drive and what kind of light bulb to use and PETA, which wants to control what you eat.
