It\u2019s clogging your arteries. It\u2019s gonna cause a heart attack. It\u2019s gonna cause all kinds of horrible things, stop eating red meat. And then they said stop eating red meat because it\u2019s killing the planet because it\u2019s creating more cattle who fart methane, which is destroying whatever it\u2019s destroying.<\/p>\n<p>Well, guess what? Now science says that that was all wrong. \u201cPublic health officials for years have urged Americans to limit consumption of red meat and processed meats because of concerns that these foods are linked to heart disease, cancer,\u201d blindness, syphilis, celibacy, any number of bad things can happen to you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323907\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/App-McDonalds-PLT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/App-McDonalds-PLT.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/App-McDonalds-PLT-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut on Monday, in a remarkable turnabout, an international collaboration of researchers,\u201d a consensus of scientists, \u201cproduced a series of analyses concluding that the advice, a bedrock of almost all dietary guidelines, is not backed by good scientific evidence.\u201d We\u2019ve been lied to all these years about not eating beef. Doesn\u2019t matter. In fact, how many of you know the name Cam Newton?<\/p>\n<p>You know the name Cam Newton? Dawn, do you know who Cam Newton is? Mr. Snerdley, do you know who Cam Newton is? Yeah, football player, quarterback of the Carolina Panthers. The guy is Superman. He\u2019s a huge guy, in shape, huge guy for quarterback. And he was really politically correct the other day. You know, he\u2019s out with an injury. He injured his foot really bad out there but didn\u2019t tell anybody so the gamblers didn\u2019t know and the team did not put him on the injury report so the gamblers wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s a big no-no. That\u2019s why the injury report exists so the gamblers know who\u2019s gonna play and who\u2019s not. (interruption) You didn\u2019t know that? That\u2019s the unstated reason for the injury report, and Cam Newton wasn\u2019t on it. He couldn\u2019t play! He tried to play the first two games of the season, it was obvious he was not Superman. He couldn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what was discovered? He\u2019d gone on a vegan diet this summer. His injury had not recovered at all and a lot of people were claiming that was why. He went off red meat. He heard the celibacy bit, can\u2019t have that, so he went off red meat and went total vegan, and the recovery for his injury pretty much came to a screeching halt.<\/p>\n<p>Then he produced a YouTube video to explain this, not the vegan business, he explained the other aspects of why he\u2019s hurt and how long it\u2019s gonna take. And at the beginning of the video he lit a Padron cigar, a big Padron cigar and had what looked like a great glass of Bordeaux. It might have been California cabernet, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eIGAECpWNSA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So he\u2019s sitting there puffing on that cigar, and he\u2019s a pro at it. He looked so good, it made anybody who doesn\u2019t smoke a cigar want to pick up the habit. He looked like a seasoned professional smoking that cigar and sipping the wine and telling his fans why he\u2019s hurt. He didn\u2019t get into the vegan business, at least I didn\u2019t watch enough of the video to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>So now here we are. Science &#8212; for all these years &#8212; lied to us, said, &#8220;Red meat is gonna kill you! It\u2019s gonna make you celibate. It\u2019s gonna give you syphilis, gonna turn you into pornographer,&#8221; whatever it\u2019s gonna do to you. Now that science was supposedly wrong. The consensus of scientists says the original consensus of science was wrong. It\u2019s &#8220;not backed by good scientific evidence. If there are health benefits from eating less beef and pork, they are small, the researchers concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indeed, the advantages are so [infinitesimal] that they can be discerned only when looking at large populations&#8230;&#8221; It\u2019s so I insignificant that you can\u2019t judge whether eating meat hurts anybody by examining a single individual. So now you\u2019re free, once again, to go eat meat &#8212; without guilt, without shame, other than the relationship it has to destroying the planet and human life. So, if you want to eat meat, that\u2019s still on you. You are still destroying the climate, but you\u2019re not hurting yourself.<\/p>\n<p>A companion story&#8230; Mr. Snerdley, do you remember way back long ago, the city of Berkeley, California, concluded that it was not healthful for Burger King to sell burgers? So they demanded that if you wanted to have a fast food burger franchise in Berkeley you had to sell meatless burgers or chicken or fish or whatever. So Burger King, rather than telling them to pound sand, did it! They came up with everything on the menu but burgers, and they went out of business anyway!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100119-Doctor-Burgers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100119-Doctor-Burgers.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-100119-Doctor-Burgers-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>If it says, &#8220;Burger King,&#8221; you\u2019re not walking in there to have a piece of salmon! Am I right? Okay. Well, McDonald\u2019s began &#8220;a 12-week test on Monday of a sandwich &#8230; dubbed the P.L.T. (Plant. Lettuce. Tomato.) in 28 restaurants in Ontario. The P.L.T. is made with Beyond Meat\u2019s patty and &#8216;has been crafted exclusively by McDonald\u2019s, for McDonald\u2019s.'&#8221; In other words, it is a meatless burger at McDonald\u2019s. (interruption) What do you mean you\u2019re not a&#8230;? (interruption) You\u2019ve had it? (interruption) The Beyond Beef burger&#8230; (interruption)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Beyond Meat burgers are incredible.&#8221; (interruption) &#8220;Burger King is selling out of these things.&#8221; Okay. But see, it\u2019s all unnecessary now. You can eat red meat. It\u2019s unnecessary, totally unnecessary. This is what\u2019s funny to me about it. All these places start selling no-meat hamburgers because they\u2019re trying to be socially\/politically correct, and it turns out that they\u2019ve been had. Who do you think\u2019s behind this? Colonel Sanders, maybe?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As Ann Wahlgren, McDonald\u2019s VP of Global Menu Strategy, explained in a recent article on the McDonald\u2019s website, the company has been keeping a close eye on the rising interest in meat alternatives in recent months, and believes that now is the right time to test its own plant-based burger in one of its major markets.&#8221; What about the pain that the plant feels when you bite into it? What about the pain the plant feels when you swallow it?<\/p>\n<p>Plants are living things! The environmentalist wackos tell us that plants have a nervous system and they feel pain and they have the equivalent of brains and so forth. You chop \u2019em down off the trees, you chop \u2019em down out of the roots or what, and then you put \u2019em in a meatless burger and people chomping down on them? Does anybody care how the plants feel about this? Apparently not &#8212; and it\u2019s beyond me why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: How many of you have heard all of your life, or most of it, stop eating red meat, it&#039;ll kill you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":323907,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
