’m confused now brown cow. I’m just guessing here, but it seems that the new Democrat vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been secretly hired by the environmental extremist lobby to destroy beef intake in America. “I love cheeseburgers from time to time, I just do,” Ms. Harris said. “But there has to be also what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that will encourage moderation, and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment.” This sounds about as un-American as you can get. Since when do you want a self proclaimed “savior” or former government employee telling you how to eat? I think it is astounding that this ol’ gal thinks so highly of herself. Corporate lawyer Andrew Yang is also running for President on the Democrat ticket and agrees with Ms. Harris. According to Yang, “Certainly, meat is an extraordinarily expensive thing to produce from an environmental sustainability point of view. So I think it would be healthy on both an individual and societal level for us to move in that direction.” I heard just last week KH was working with KFC, just kidding. What is true is AOC, being one congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, is introducing a new bill in Congress known as the “The Climate Equity Act” which is considered part three of “The Green New Deal”. There you have it a bill conceived by the bar passer and the bartender that will save America from that evil known as “beef”. The scary thing is that one hundred years ago you would have paid a nickel to see these two ladies in a carnival act, and now it’s possible they could be running the country. My first question to Kamala would be just how did a lawyer become an expert on cattle? How many cattle has Kamala raised and just how much beef has she produced? What was
