Everything is offensive in today’s politically correct atmosphere. Folks say it’s important to be more aware of certain aspects of society; they call it “increases awareness,” which is liberal speak for stuff we don’t like. I guess that’s important in principle…unless you’re a piece of trash vegan or vegetarian. Across the pond, our cousins in the United Kingdom, published a piece about how the rise of these two food trends, which ironically encapsulate the epitome of upper-middle class privilege, are trying to sanitize certain phrases, like “bringing home the bacon,” because it might offend these devil people :snip:

Not Just Bacon

They’re Coming for Your Steaks and Hamburgers

John Hinderaker

December 4, 2018

The Lancet used to be a respected medical journal. Now, while it still publishes technical articles on medical topics, it is more concerned with the left-wing hobby horses of the day. Pseudo-science can be influential, so the Lancet’s current editorial–We Need to Talk About Meat–should be taken seriously as an early warning.

Quote

The emotionally charged debate over the ethical suitability of meat consumption may never reach a conclusion, but it is only comparatively recently that the climate impact of livestock rearing, and the nutritional and health issues caused by meat have become a pressing concern.

Achieving a healthy diet from a sustainable source is a struggle new enough to countries with an abundance of food that it has proven difficult to enact meaningful change. Government efforts to curb consumption and thus curb weight gain in high-income countries are yet to display a meaningful effect, and most of these efforts are focused on sugar or fat.

(Snip)

So get ready for a war on meat, the most visible feature of which will be a one-way government “conversation.”

Quote

So what is a healthy amount of red or processed meat? It’s looking increasingly like the answer, for both the planet and the individual, is very little. Saying this is one thing. Getting the world to a place where we have the ability to balance the desire to eat whatever we want with our need to preserve the ecosystem we rely on to sustain ourselves is quite another. The conversation has to start soon.

Sure it does! The clock is ticking, just like with global warming. We must act before it is too late–ban the cow!
