View Full Version : No discussion on Colorado "Meatout" day yet?
Polis has declared March 20th as Colorado "Meatout" day in which he is requesting that Coloradans only eat plant based products that day.
A lot of restaurants and the state cattle industry are starting to use the hashtag #Coloradomeatin to promote the eating of meat for that day.

I can't imagine a day without meat. What a horrible thing for Polis to suggest.

Okay, cows eat plants.
I eat cows.
Am I not eating the byproduct of plant based food chain?

Reminds me of the latest episode of Last Man Standing.
Outdoor Man quits eating meat for a week.
Jeff Dunham is guest star. The question arises, What does Outdoor Man shoot with all those rifles he sells, Broccoli?
I don't get off on shitting on other people's holidays, but.....I also don't go out of my way to abide by holidays that I don't observe. So just another day for me.

Piss on Polis and his ol lady.
Yes I know his ol lady is a guy.
Even if Polis is into the "holiday", I'm not leaving my meat out. I don't think "Polis said it's ok" is a good defense if I went out in public.
Is he going celibate for the day?

It isnt a holiday. It is the government trying to shame people into changing their culture and swaying the economy toward a specific political outcome. I get a chuckle that the cattlemen took up the challenge and are throwing it back on him.
Honestly I dont really care about this particular hill that Polis has staked, but I really dont care for the methods. You can say "what is the harm" and for this one I would agree, who really cares. It is the precedent it is setting, that the government is openly promoting particular lifestyles and picking winners. Lets take it to an extreme, consider if Polis announced a Gay Only Day where everyone was expected to have romantic relations with someone from their own gender. Would you participate in that? I suspect that might have much more pushback but in essence it is the same as his no-eat-meat-save-the-planet day. And yeah, I would be saying the same thing if it was a republican governor promoting some conservative political talking point made up "holiday".

I agree completely. The misses has WAY too much influence.
I'll double up on that day in support of the farmers and ranchers that make their living and provide for their families by producing meat.
Yum.

+1. It's also in some ways like every-other-day half staff the flag for some reason or the other, and the senate recognition of x cause and y cause and z person, blah blah blah. Every stupid "honor" they bestow upon crap is actually sucking away from the pool of time, care, and respect that we have available, in some ways diminishing the effect that those things *should* have.
When the U.S. flag is half staff 33% of the time, people stop asking "what's going on?" and start thinking "probably some dumb statistical milestone or a retired legislators cousin died or something".
Same for all the fake holidays. Can't forget Colorado Loves California day. If we made a new legitimate holiday, nobody would notice anymore. I would be surprised if even 1% of the state celebrates any of these made up days.
Eat Out With Your Meat Out Day.....

Didn't feel like smokering, but hit up a food truck I had been hearing about, and ended up with some really good brisket, good pulled pork, good beef ribs. They were out of pork ribs by the time I got there or would have had some of those as well.
For those on the south side of denver:

Not many scheduled days (think they mainly do catering), but every thursday just south of Chatfield on Titan road, and looks like 3rd Sat each month at Living the Dream brewery near murdocks off santa fe.

I've been eating mostly non-animal products for health reasons, but Polis' "meatout" message inspired me to cook up some bacon I still had on hand. Delicious!
Thank you, Governor Polis, for reminding me to take my "meatout" of the freezer today.

this just in.
An anonymous person wearing a mask entered a friends tattoo studio, in lodo friday. "He" asked if they did tattoos on men's genital's .
Saying, as a show of "love" towards his "partner" he was interested in getting his penis tattooed.
Really, what type of design did you have in mind?
Oh i would like it tattooed in an orangish color, with some green on top? Orange and Green? yes. My partner's a vegan and i thought having my penis look like a carrot, he'd enjoy it that much more.
The kid told him sure It's a $150 handling fee plus the time it takes to ink it. so we're looking at somewhere in the $1500 range. FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!
The guy storms out and then it hits the kid. Even with the mask on. He looked and sounded, like the guv. That and the 2 suv's, one in front and one behind of the guys suv.

I neglected to rub down the brisket I bought but I picked up a nice 2 lb T-bone in the commissary. Got the charcoal grill nice and hot so I could get a good sear on both sides and still keep it rare inside. Sorry, no pictures.

Wanted to go for prime rib on Saturday, but they weren't taking walk-ins (think there was some private party going on), so instead we went out for BBQ. In honor of the day, I got triple meat!

I had a nice ribeye steak from my sister ranch; so many people don't understand the food chain on this planet or just ignore it. I have 1.5 fozen cows in my freezers; I enjoy unwrapping and cooking every package of it.

Food Freedom Is Coming To Colorado
The state legislature and Gov. Jared Polis are unshackling local ranchers and consumers.
BAYLEN LINNEKIN | 4.10.2021 8:30 AM
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) is champing at the bit to ensure his state has one of the nation's best food laws. Polis has said he'll sign a bill, Deregulate Meat Sales Direct To Consumers, which will permit farmers and ranchers in the state to sell cuts of meat directly to consumers in the state "without licensure, regulation, or inspection by a public health agency."
The Colorado bill mimics a key expansion of Wyoming's groundbreaking food-freedom law. Last year, Wyoming added an animal-share amendment to that law. As I detailed in a column, the animal-share amendment allows consumers in Wyoming to buy individual cuts of meat, such as steaks or roasts, directly from ranchers. This effectively allows farmers and consumers to opt out of a pervasive federal- and state-run meat inspection system that favors large national and international producers over smaller, local ones.
As I explained last year, Wyoming's law takes advantage of an exemption built into the Federal Meat Inspection Act. While that 1906 law established the processes and parameters for a nationwide scheme of meat inspection, an exemption in the law allows for custom slaughtering of livestock by and for an owner of the animal. Colorado's law will capitalize on that same exemption.
While North Dakota and a few other states have adopted elements of food freedom legislation, Colorado will be the first state to follow Wyoming's lead on animal shares. Colorado's welcome embrace of food freedom should come as no surprise.
In my book Biting the Hands that Feed Us: How Fewer, Smarter Laws Would Make Our Food System More Sustainable and elsewhere, I laud Polis, who was then a member of Congress, for co-sponsoring the PRIME Act, "a bill that would permit farmers to expand options for selling meat locally that's been processed by local slaughterhouses."
In 2015, then-Rep. Polis and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) held a publicized lunch at which they consumed steak and other animal products that had not been inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
"We think people should be able to go to a farmer's market, and if a farmer there raised cattle and wants to sell it, they should be able to," Polis said of the meal. "In a way, it's restricting capitalism, restricting free enterprise, to say totally legal. You can give [meat] to people, you can share it with people, but the minute there's money involved, it's a federal crime."
That both Polis and Massie continue to live and breathe is evidence that USDA meat inspection is not a necessary precondition for obtaining safe and healthy food. Nevertheless, food safety concerns are front and center for critics of the current Colorado bill.
But, as former Wyoming State Rep. Tyler Lindholm (R)?the chief architect of Wyoming's first-in-the-nation food freedom legislation?told me in 2017, Chicken Little predictions that Wyoming's food-freedom law would lead to illnesses or deaths have proven entirely unfounded.
"Wyoming's local food options have exploded and we still have had 0 foodborne illness outbreaks due to this act passing into law," Lindholm said. "Currently Wyoming has experienced none of the deaths that we were all warned would happen, and for that matter none of the illness[es] that were prophesied to take place upon passage of the bill."

Thanks for posting about the Food Freedom, great news! Now, how to consolidate that with P.A.U.S.E.... No veal for anyone! Oh wait, my bad, it's ok if the animal is processed somewhere else and trucked in. Just don't do it here.

Yep. People with no clue trying to pass legislation.
