Republicans are furious about a Joe Biden policy on meat that doesn t even exist
Sinead ButlerApr 27, 2021 Republicans failed to properly fact-check Biden’s climate policy. AFP via Getty Images and Getty Images Republicans are furious about a claim that president Joe Biden’s climate plan includes cutting 90 per cent of red meats from Americans’ diet by 2030... but this is not true. Biden announced that his administration would seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. The Daily Mail reported on this news and began to speculate on what other policies “could” also be implemented to reach this goal. One of them being “How Biden’s climate plan could limit you to eat just one burger a MONTH.” At no point in this speech did Biden announce any initiative to impose a limit on red meat consumption and Biden has never suggested policies aimed at limiting red meat consumption. Though, of course, Republicans seized the opportunity to criticise president Biden for these baseless claims.
