Just cut out the protein - then your food bills won't be so high!

 

I was mind-boggled by the Biden administration's response yesterday to surging inflation.


"If you take out" beef, pork & poultry, the "price increases are more in line with historical norms".


If there's a more crass, unfeeling and insensitive official response to the distress being experienced by many consumers today, I'm not sure what it might be.  In so many words, the Biden administration is telling us:


If you can't afford your food bills, just do without protein!  The rest will be so much more affordable!


Yeah, right - and third-world protein deficiency diseases can become a regular feature of American health care, too!  Thanks for nothing!

The malnourished are easier to control. Or conquer.

Next step: CDC comes out with a statement that all previous Minimum Daily Requirement studies were wrong and it's OK to not get your essential amino acids. How is that different from the way they redefined vaccines that you showed yesterday?

Having come to know a few people who have gotten rid of health issues they thought were permanent problems by eating nothing but meat, this is a scary thought.

This calls to mind, "let them eat cake". The problems of the plebs don't concern the elite.

It's all the Kulaks fault that you can't afford food. We'll send in the apparatchiks to take the food from the Kulaks and distribute it to the larger cities. Also we'll collectivize the farms and put good party loyalists in charge of food production.

Yeah, that will work out ok. Stalin is grinning from hell.

Jesus. It's like they are trying to reenact the old Soviet system.

It reminded me of the Jimmy Carter sweater speech. Gov can't do anything about the lack of heating oil, just get use to wearing sweaters. America didn't buy that and Jimmy was gone after one term.

Remember, animal farts cause global warming. You do the planet a favor to not eat animal protein...




And for those of you who don't know me, I *am* joking.
But that's how they think.

When the leaders have said so much unbelievable bullscat and yet the masses have taken said bullscat as truth, well...

Dammit.

What's next? Soylent Green?

This is perfectly in line with what Bond villain Klaus Schwab, founder of the pompously named "World Economic Forum", has in store for everybody but him and his Godless acolytes. He and that astoundingly evil creep Bill Gates recommends that the world switch to "a nourishing diet of insects and larvae."

Here is the lunch menu from a recent meeting of those fellows: pumpkin soup, broccoli mousse with nuts, smoked halloumi and chocolate cake.

Hunger Games indeed.

Schwab also stated that "in ten years you will own nothing and be happy."

Well, Klaus, the only "insects and larvae" I want to see will be upon your rotting corpse.

Hey Peter;

Can't have the "dirt People" eat protein, you know...only the cloud people are allowed to have protein. Everyone else have has to "accept sacrifice for Gaia".

"Let them eat carbs!" (Tho I've heard it's disputed whether Marie Antoinette ever said that about cake.)
