One green planet horse myths that they need to work how to#
Just last week, Osacio-Cortez visited a school in Queens and according to Veg News, she offered suggestions to the student on how to combat climate change including, “Give your tummy a break! Skip meat and dairy for a meal-easiest is breakfast I do banana and peanut butter.” She’s hardly a champion for the American cattle producer. We can either choose to be proactive and try to educate Osacio-Cortez and her supporters about the environmental and nutritional benefits of beef production or we can spend our time laughing at the radical things she says and griping about her ignorance.Īdmittedly, it might be tough to find common ground. Yet, as an agricultural industry we have a choice to make. My first thought when I read about Osacio-Cortez’s Green New Deal was the old adage, “Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.” The Green New Deal promises to work “collaboratively with farmers and ranchers in the United States to remove pollution and greenhouse gas emission from the agricultural sector as much as is technologically feasible by supporting family farming, investing in sustainable farming and land use practices that increase soil health, and by building a more sustainable food system that ensures universal access to healthy food.” However, before Osacio-Cortez pulled the plug on her site, there was no shortage of people breaking down the document, which promised to “secure for all people of the United States for generations to come - clean air and water, climate and community resiliency, healthy food, access to nature and sustainable environment.” I imagine the incessant roasting this scary piece of legislation drummed up was more than the 29-year old former bartender could take. The website for the Green New Deal was taken down over the weekend.
