Two GOP senators got out plenty of napkins to protest the USDA’s “Meatless Monday,” an urging of the veg lifestyle in a newsletter that has since been pulled, with a “Meat Monday” today.
Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) toasted the bounty of America’s ranches by ordering a big pile of barbeque beef brisket, ribs, and sausage from Hill Country BBQ restaurant in D.C.
“In some of the toughest times they’ve seen in recent memory, Texas cattle ranchers and farmers deserve an Administration who works with them, not one who undermines them with boneheaded decisions from bureaucrats in Washington,” said Cornyn.
“This is a reminder to USDA that it’s supposed to advocate for American agriculture, not against it,” Grassley said.
No word on whether Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack gnawed on some ribs today.
Hill Country’s barbecue is dry-rubbed (no sauce) and smoked low and slow with post oak wood shipped specially from Texas, the restaurant states. Meats are hand-carved by pitmasters and can be ordered by the slice, by the rib, or by the link.
if you want to eat meat do so if you dont that’s alright also. im not vegetarian dont impose your will upon me i eat what i want
Next up, the USDA’s “Soylent Tuesday”
hahahahaha… awesome. I think Peta would be on board with that. :-p
Give ‘em hell, Grassley!
As someone who had the exquisite pleasure of living in Iowa on two separate occasions for a total of ten years, I simply adore Chuck Grassley because he reminds me of all that is best about the state and its people. To borrow the words of Doc Moonlight Graham from “Field of Dreams” (though he was not speaking of Iowa), ‘Once a place touches you like that, the wind never blows so cold again.’
Moooooooove over veggies, i’m having MEAT!
Why can’t people see what the hell is going on with this administration. They only want whats best for you and to hell with what you want.
