During a CNN town hall special about climate change Wednesday night, Democrat Senator Kamala Harris was asked if she would be willing to change federal eating guidelines for the sake of saving the planet if she became president. She agreed with a questioner who argued Americans should be eating less meat and that the government should force them into other dietary habits.

When I was in China two years ago a woman in the communist party, who works with the UN, talked all about the necessity of changing eating habits and eliminating meat. By government force. This is communism and 2020 Democrats are fully embracing it.

Progs want to control everyone's behavior.
Wow, another silly
RED SCARE, how prosaic.
That said, my family still enjoys meat, but we don't eat it at every meal, and have followed the advice of doctors to cut down saturated fats.
In fact Sunday my sons, daughter-in-law and grandsons will enjoy a four pound Filet Mignon Roast (Choice, not Prime) for supper; sides of Creamed Spinach, Roasted Potato and Green Beans.
And if people like Kamala get their way you will either pay more in "sin" taxes for that, or have to explain to your Obamacare doctor why you are eating it.
The cost for the roast was $80.59, equivalent to two extra large combination pizzas. The roast will be mostly gone on the same it will be cooked, the pizza leftover will be breakfast and possibly eaten for dinner the next day.
The latter, pizza, was a choice in most elementary school cafeterias, along with a sugar pops breakfast, the students will be hooked on sugars, salt and fat. Michelle Obama did a great service as the first lady, she really cared about children unlike the current first lady.
"Sin" tax? That tax was paid to the hospital, the doctors and the pharmacy who provide the life saving treatment for a life of unhealthful eating.
Let's cut to the chase, Rye. You can just say that you're for the government dictating what is consumed and what isn't.
From all that I heard, what Michelle dictated the children to eat in school tasted like crap.
That IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT
You are a communist, Rye.
You're an idiot, Meister.
Q. Do you have kids. If you do, do you read labels or don't you really care about children?
Q. Do you smoke, and ignore the warning sign on the package?
What you need to consider is not that the government would force people to eat less meat, but what this current government is doing to democracy in America. That you can't see what Trump has done and is doing is why I call you an idiot.
You're deflecting with your name calling, Rye. It's not up to the government to be dictating what the children should be eating.
It's up to the parents to lay the parameters as to the child's diet, along with their own diet. If they don't want to let the
children eat what the school's menu is, they can pack their children's lunches for them.
You're one of those Californian cradle to the grave type of people. You're pathetic.
Now go back to the name calling, Rye. It's all you have.
Okay, you've typed cast me, after calling me an idiot. Do you see the irony: Do as I say, not as I do?
The government has yet to force We the People to eat less meat. You and the others above are claiming Sen. Harris will promote and enforce meat eating to be a crime. This type of hyperbole is not only dishonest it is not credible.
But something incredible still creates a circle jerk among self describe conservatives and trump supporters. It's sad that you too join the fray, and umpire you are not.
This is what the liberals do, they call other people a name, and in Rye's case, called me an idiot, then turns around
and says that I called him an idiot. This is right out of the democrat playbook. I never called you an idiot, Rye.
Go back and look at the title of the OP, okay?
What's this umpire stuff?
Mea culpa, you did not call me an idiot, you stated:
"You are a communist, Rye."
Name calling is name calling, don't you agree.
A. What's the umpire stuff?
Q. I'm certain you know.
You should embrace that you're a communist, it's not a mental state, it's a philosophy , not like I'm calling you an idiot, or an ignorant ****, along those lines.
If you're referring to me a being a mod, well, I am one when I'm moderating a post or a thread. When I'm not moderating, I'm a poster just
like you, Rye, and I can give my opinions freely, But I think you already knew that.
Fine, so I will treat you as one of the callous conservatives, and expose the hypocrisy that brings with your comments the principle all callous conservatives carry with them:
I got mine, **** the rest of you.
I admit to being a liberal Democrat, and I believe and will support by my votes these first two paragraphs in the Declaration of Independence:
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
I'm not suggesting you don't support these principles, but the fact is Trump does not, in deed, in word and in policies. And I believe that both trump and mcconnell are a great threat to the principles laid out in the DoI and in the Preamble to COTUS.
