“Then they came for average-weight people…”

Last month, I reported that those “progressive” Brits came out with a “scientific” study claiming that overweight people cause global warming. Never ones to stand in the way of “progress,” the Brits are now putting together recommendations for the rest of us poor slobs about which environmentally-“correct” foods to eat in order to “save” the planet:

“GIVE up lamb roasts and save the planet. Government advisers are developing menus to combat climate change by cutting out “high carbon” food such as meat from sheep, whose burping poses a serious threat to the environment.

Out will go kebabs, greenhouse tomatoes and alcohol. Instead, diners will be encouraged to consume more potatoes¹ and seasonal vegetables, as well as pork and chicken, which generate fewer carbon emissions.”

¹Potatoes are very fattening. How does this environmentally-“correct” food recommendation jibe with the Brits’ earlier study claiming that obesity causes global warming?
