Human beings need the proteins in meat, but the Climate Cult, hand-in-hand with the animal rights loons, has been pushing an anti-meat crusade for years. From fake meat to lab-grown meat – both worse for the environment, to this new idea they’ve stumbled upon.
If we put our lies on glossy stickers and require stores to adhere them to packages of meat, people will eat less of it.
[R]esearchers took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups. Depending on what group a participant was in, they were shown photos of hot meals assigned climate, health, or pandemic warning labels or no warning label at all.
“All the labels deterred meat consumption, with 7-10 percent of the participants choosing a non-meat meal.” However, when participants were asked how anxiety-inducing and believable they found each of the labels, they reported the climate change warning as the most credible.
This prompted the scientists to advocate for government-mandated climate change warning labels on meat.
I’ve had similar aspirations with regard to the general government.
Recent data suggests that following the American federal government’s health guidance can harm your health. Alcohol consumption skyrocketed under the yoke of otherwise ineffective COVID mandates, as did drug addiction and overdose, domestic abuse, and unassisted suicide.
All preventable if we had only reduced our consumption of Government mandates. And that’s without getting into the pharmaceutical cures, suppression of safe treatments, the death by hospital protocol, and lives lost to peaceful progressive protests.
The Federal government’s ever-expanding footprint represents a considerable percentage of emissions. Cutting it in half – assuming you believe in climate voodoo – would result in significantly fewer emissions. If we onshore those duties back to the states where they belong, locals can better manage them, eliminating duplication or ending offices or programs that fail to protect the interests of citizens in the respective states.

You could do a lot more for the environment and human dignity, prosperity, and liberty – in a much shorter time by reducing the size of the general government, and you wouldn’t be polluting the planet with all that extra label-making.
What we need is stickers on ballots, legislation, and other measures meant to expand the size or scope of government interference in our lives. Something like Warning: Voting for any of the following will have long-term detrimental impacts on Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Feel free to come up with your own. There’s probably no wrong “answer.”
