McConnell inexplicably claims that Democrats want to tell Americans 'how many hamburgers you can eat

I guess you say this when you have nothing!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) asked Americans to "support Republican Senate candidates across the country and re-elect my friend, President Donald Trump" during the Republican National Convention on Thursday night — including making an ominous (and false) threat that Democrats are prepared to take away your hamburgers if you don't.

That resonates with some people, a lot of people really.

It's unfortunate the way messaging has gone on a lot of issues, especially around ecology.

There wasn't any reason to give them that capital, since regenerative agriculture practically demands livestock, and a much better argument was available against industrial methods.
