Great piece, but it is irrelevant, dontchaknow? We all must eat GMO plants to save the world from carbon, and get rid of cows... but not ponies. So no worries, you are a politically correct equine.

I'm not sure though, that we equines are not high-risk species that need to be eliminated for 'pandemic preparedness.' Since there is no pandemic in human record with credible zoonotic origins, nobody knows what 'high-risk species' are. It could be anything 'they' say it is.

Follow-up on this piece: In line with the push from 'authorities' to reduce our meat consumption based on shaky scientific 'evidence,' the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has released its 2025 guidelines (https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/2025-advisory-committee-report) which advocates for increased bean, lentil and pea consumption and of course, reducing meat consumption (not only red meat). Simultaneously, they did not reach a conclusion on ultra-processed foods, due to 'lack of a clear definition.'

Paraphrasing, per their standards, children grow up healthy on a can of fried beans, a box of Luncheables and a Coke, as long as they avoid ribeye. Sure.
