UCLA Ignorance – Beef-Less Thursdays

Chuck Zimmerman

Thanks to @RayLinDairy (that’s Twitter ID in case you didn’t know) for pointing me to this complete ignorance gone to seed (thank you Derry Brownfield). You need to read the whole thing. It’s so filled with misinformation that the only conclusion you can draw is that the vegetarians are running the dining halls. I’d eat out if I went to school there.

UCLA Dining Services recently announced a new decision to remove all beef from the dining halls every Thursday beginning today for the duration of this quarter.

The move toward “Beef-less Thursdays” is meant to advance UCLA’s sustainability and wellness goals, said Robert Gilbert, the sustainability coordinator for Housing and Hospitality Services.

Beef is an environmentally unfriendly food item because cows require a great deal of water to raise and they produce methane, which is a greenhouse gas, Gilbert said.

The lunatics are running the asylum. I think I’ll go out and find some beef to eat for supper.
