Red meat, and eventually all meat, is considered off limits to human beings under the future plans of the United Nations.
Climate-change zealots have come for your light bulbs and your land, and they’re gunning for your gas-guzzling car.
Now they want to steal the steak off your dinner table.
With cattle allegedly contributing a tenth of global emissions, consumers are “ethically obliged” to change their eating habits, according to an appointed ethics board in Denmark.
The nation is weighing whether to implement a new tax on red meat, after an influential government agency came to the conclusion that “climate change is an ethical problem,” the Express reported.
The Danish Council of Ethics recommended an initial tax on beef, with a view to extending it later on to all red meats. It said that in the long term, the tax should apply to all foods at varying levels depending on climate impact.
And if you think it’s just those liberal Europeans who are planning to restrict the consumption of beef, think again, says Patrick Wood, a U.S. economist and expert on global governance who authored the book “Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation.”
Wood says the attack on meat is global and – like many of the ideas that get made into policies by the White House, Congress and state legislatures – they originate at the United Nations and its agenda for “sustainability.”
“They’ve tried to pull this off in various ways in several states already, and people have rejected it,” Wood said of the beef tax. “But they keep trying, and they’re passionate about cow farts, the methane.”

The regulations come down from people who have never set foot on a farm or ranch and don’t “have a clue” what they’re talking about, Wood said. “You almost want to laugh at it, but Denmark shows you they are dead serious.”
Wood said the ranching industry has been declared “unsustainable” by the U.N.’s Global Biodiversity Assessment.
“It’s about 1,200 pages thick and that is the working manual for U.N. Agenda 21, and they tell you in there what is sustainable and what is not sustain and the list of things that are not sustainable include cattle, dams, roads, golf courses, and all kinds of things.”
Debbie Bacigalupi is senior editor of Technocracy News and Trends and also a cattle rancher in northern California. Her grandfather was a cattle rancher. Her aunt is a cattle rancher. She ran for Congress in 2012 on a pro-liberty platform.
“Here in California, they were going to put a tax on beef and dairy cattle, $100 per cow per year for beef cattle and $150 for dairy,” she said. “They have been trying to do that for several years based on methane emissions.
“So the red-meat tax or the per-cow tax is all an attack on the livestock industry,” she told WND. “Why? Because the U.N. has decided cattle ranching is not sustainable in the 21st century.”
In 2014, when President Obama visited California, he said by the year 2020 the U.S. needs to reduce its methane output by 25 percent.
“So if you’re a cattle rancher, you either have to get those anaerobic digesters or sell off your cows,” said Bacigalupi, who attended the U.N. Framework on Climate Change in Paris and has studied the Biodiversity Assessment.

Cows are bad, but wolves are good
She said livestock provide innumerable byproducts used in everything from tires to soap, shampoo, makeup, leather and technology products.
But they are not sustainable, according to the U.N., because they emit methane, scrape the earth with their hooves, require fencing and cleared pastureland and trudge through rivers or streams.
“All of this is unsustainable in the 21st century, according to the assessment. Wolves are sustainable. Why? Because they decrease the population of hooved animals, and they keep our livestock out of rivers,” she said.
The federal government has recently introduced wolves into northern California, she said. “They’re a bunch of bullies.”
“Dams are also unsustainable in the 21st century. Roads are unsustainable,” she adds. “Anything that serves human needs is unsustainable.”
‘That’s what Hitler did’
Bacigalupi looks out at the big picture and doesn’t see her family heritage of cattle ranching having a long-term future.
“They’re attacking rural America and moving us into cities and creating regions. That’s what Hitler did,” she said. “Then they appoint people to come in and tell us how to run our lives.
“By the year 2020, the U.N. goal is to halve the number of traffic accidents, and how do you do that? You force people out of their cars by implementing a vehicle mileage tax, and then you’re going to have these autonomous, self-driving cars.”
The U.N. also has a goal is to restore all ecosystems.
“All runoff will be regulated,” she said. “If the rain hits your roof and runs off, that’s part of an ecosystem and needs to be taxed.”
Wood said there is no limit to the imagination of a technocrat when it comes to regulating the lives of a once-free people. So red meat is definitely on the target list.
“The ranchers out here in northern California and other places are all by themselves. They don’t have any political power, and they’re sitting ducks,” Wood said. “They’re battling wolves and water issues, and now they’re battling environmentalists. It’s all about the little fish, as we now know. That’s the reason they give, but it’s not about that. The BLM is trying to chase them off the leased federal lands, and now they want to tax their cows.”
If you think radical environmentalists do not intend to micromanage your diet and eating habits, then you don’t understand radical environmentalists, Wood said. They will go after any staple of modern life if left to their own machinations.
The ethics council in Denmark is a perfect example. They voted in favor of the measures by an overwhelming majority, and the proposal will now be put forward for consideration by the government.
Danes ‘ethically obliged’ to give up beef, say un-elected bureaucrats
In a press release, the ethics council said Denmark was under direct threat from climate change, and it was not enough to rely on the “ethical consumer” to ensure the country meets its U.N. commitments.
“The Danish way of life is far from climate-sustainable, and if we are to live up to the Paris Agreement target of keeping the global temperature rise ‘well’ below 2°C, it is necessary both to act quickly and involve food,” the council said.
Cattle alone account for some 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the production of food as a whole makes up between 19 and 29 percent, the council said.
Danes were “ethically obliged” to change their eating habits, it said, adding that it is “unproblematic” to cut out beef and still enjoy a healthy and nutritious diet.
