He’s such an idiot. Whoever told him that the world needed his insights is an even bigger one tho. Anyhow conservatives are so threatened by people encouraging less meat consumption. Maybe conservatives wouldn’t be such angry babies if they ate based on pissing off liberajs.

A couple days ago, a “libertarian-lite” acquaintance posted on FB an attack on Kamala Harris from townhall.com alleging she proposed “regulating” meat consumption. The Trumpsters all too this as an opportunity to demonize Republicans. Several of his sane FB friends pointed out that her actual proposal had to do with dietary guidelines — not regulations. His response — that was a slippery slope. I finally chimed in challenging that position and pointing out it was reminiscent of the conservative attacks on Michelle Obama for promoting healthy eating for children.

Amusing aside: when I was young and naive, I got a job with an actuarial consulting firm; my background was strictly in mathematics and statistics with no legal training. I didn’t know what a regulation was and so used the term inappropriately in a memo — for which I was appropriately excoriated. I suspect the Townhall person deliberately used the term to mislead his audience.
