There’s been a lot of anger over meat lately.
After a Daily Mail article falsely claimed that President Joe Biden’s climate targets would require Americans to slash their meat consumption by 90%, conservatives took to social media and TV to express outrage.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Biden “The Hamburglar,” and Gov. Greg Abbot (R-TX) said dietary cuts were “not gonna happen in Texas!” Meanwhile, Donald Trump, Jr., bragged(?) about eating four pounds of meat in a day.
