Beter get prepared to become a vegetarian

Let them eat cake? I think someone in government is out of touch with reality. Cows can eat grass and hay. People cannot. I certainly hope this is just an urban legend.

Thats not bad news for we indians becase we dont have cow for eating..it is considered as a sacred animal in hinduism..so ewe dont have them..i think if there is any ban on chicken and mutton.we will have to worry because these are the high selling non-veg food in india..happy mylotting..

Grrrrrrrrr...as a farmer this really ticks me off!!! Don't they realize that if they do this it will send the prices of milk and milk products soaring to where the average family could not afford to purchase milk for their children?! When we were still a dairy farm here, we only had around 50 cows that were milking, yet that was enough for us to sustain the farm as a dairy. If they did that the smaller farmers such as ourself would be out of business. Many might find it surprising, but all of those increases in milk and meats right now are NOT going to the farmer, they're going for shipping costs. With all the rises in the pricing, we are NOT getting anything from it. Yet, we still have the same increases in fuel to run our tractors and farm equipment, etc. What this will do is not only drive up the prices, it will force the small farmers out of business. This is one of the most fool-hardy ideas that they've come up with yet!! I wish if you remember where you read this, that you could provide me with a link to an article source on this. I would love to pass it on to our local farm bureau. My lands feed a beef farmer right now, he has around 100 steers. If this was to come into effect he would owe about $8,750.00 per year! Needless to say there goes any profit what-so-ever, and I know he would quit farming. If he quits farming, then it will just be a few hundred more acres of housing development (as would my farm too.) This is the most insane thing I've read about yet. There are other and better ways that they can reduce the emissions of gasses than to threaten America's food supply!

Ok if it wasn't so sad, it would be funny. Pretty soon they will start taxing belching and flatulence in us as well. I used to joke that at some point it would come like this, but I thought I was only joking LOL Oh well.. this is it the world is officially of its rockers LOL

Exactly did the EPA forget the 3 Billion people on earth that are belching and passing gas. There is just to much government. That is crazy. With the economy in shambles they want to worry about a cow passing gass that is just ridiculous.

That's ridiculous! Have you ever wondered what we would do with all the cows if we became vegetarians? Would they become pets? Could people pay a "cow deposit" (sounds rather "cow-like" already!) to keep them in their apartments? Would we need licenses and have to prove that they are neutered? Would we have packs of wild cows grazing dangerously through our neighborhoods?Apparently we would have to pay a gas tax on them too. Do we need a bean growers tax? Bananas? eggs? carbonated beverages? How about geysers? That horrible Old Faithful should be shut down!

WOW, I did know that all the animals passing gas was hard on the environment, but to have a gas tax, thats going far. I know the govt. had paid huge amounts of money to coduct a study about the gas that they let off. Maybe the farmers can add some anti-gas medicine in the food. I wonder if thats been thought of. People really do come up with some things. I think that society, the factories, vehicles etc. lets off more polution then a bunch of farm animals. I agree, some people do need to get a life, we have more important problems facing us then a bunch of farting and burping cows. lol.

Thanks for the article link!! MUCH appreciated!!

Thats great. I am a vegetarian . ha ha ha

That maybe because of our greatest demand yearly of meat and dairy products. This could maybe minimize if mostly of us will go vegetarians or just a semi-vegetarians. This means that the demand on this meat and dairies could be minimized. In this way the EPA could not put this gas tax too high for our suppliers. Besides, being a vegetarian or semi-vegetarian could put our health more enjoyable rather than depending mostly on meat and some can goods came from red meats. So go on vegees and enjoy good health most of our days..cheers

i love it!!!!!!!!!!! i would give anything to see them try to come after people for the same thing. after all, there is more room out than in. there are also a lot more people in the world than there are cows and pigs. hahahahahahahaha

That is ridiculous. I myself don't eat any meat as it is because I simply do not like the taste of meat. However I do use milk and things. I can't believe they are even considering this fee. It would be awful.

yes vegetable are good for health.vegetable have all vitamins and proteins.vegetables digest easily and they make healthy.iam also a vegetarian.

.... do not wanna be a real vegetarin experience tell us that meat include some amino acids , we can not find that in vegetables and eggs , so do not wanna be that alright ! policy restrictions has a time and it will be past ` ^_^
