New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is not only a potential 2020 presidential candidate; he’s a vegan who says the world “can’t sustain” people eating meat.
Booker told the February issue of VegNews that he became a vegetarian in 1992 when, after a few days of trying the new lifestyle, he said, “Oh my gosh, I will never go back to eating meat.” He made the decision to go vegan in 2014.
“I remember my last non-vegan meal was Election Day, November 2014,” Booker told the vegan news source.
If Booker manages to win the Democratic Party presidential nomination and then the general election, he’d be the first vegan to do so.
The potential candidate is also a fan of New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, which would like to eliminate “farting cows” from the American landscape. He compared the widely lampooned and sweeping environmental plan to winning WWII.
In their response to the Green New Deal, the Food & Environment Reporting Network favorably mentioned the document’s commitment to ”investing in sustainable farming and land use practices that increase soil health” and “building a more sustainable food system that ensures universal access to healthy food.”
The progressive senator doesn’t think veganism is just appropriate for his private life; he’d like everyone to embrace the diet because he believes the world can’t keep providing enough beef and pork to satisfy meat cravings.
“You see the planet earth moving towards what is the Standard American Diet,” he told VegNews. “We’ve seen this massive increase in consumption of meat produced by the industrial animal agriculture industry.”
“The tragic reality is this planet simply can’t sustain billions of people consuming industrially produced animal agriculture because of environmental impact. It’s just not possible, as China, as Africa move toward consuming meat the same way America does because we just don’t have enough land.”
In addition to convincing the masses to give up meat, Booker has other legislative goals that would interfere with America’s eating habits.
“Legislatively, I want to continue to be a part of a movement of folk who are fighting against corporate interests that are undermining the public good and the public welfare,” he said.

Spartacus will need to pry the steak from my cold dead fingers!
Socialists love to tell us everything we can and cannot do.
It isn’t socialism necessarily. It’s
COMMUNISM
Socialism / Communism can be implemented only thru
Authoritarian rule………….DICTATORSHIP.
Ergo, it is only natural that they rule over
your entire life.
Welcome to leftist extremism
Welcome to the smellocrat party.
When we attempt to foresee impending danger
Prognosticators implore us to ‘keep our ear to the ground’….
Obviously Cory Booker ,in his Bovine Challenge , has been keeping his ear elsewhere…perhaps his nose will lead him check
his bean eating friends
Looks like Booker is just showing how Stupid he is I bet those idiots from PETA WILL WANT THIS JERK IN THE WHITEHOUSE SO HE CAN FORCE EVERYBODY TO ALL GO VEGAN What a total idiot he is Just proof that Strict vegans are stupid to the core Someone please call the guys with the nets to come and take him back to his padded cell
It would kill some people – seriously.
I don’t judge vegans. Could they please return the consideration?
Cory Booker should live so long, that he witnesses the end of our omnivorous menu. He’s underestimating capitalist spirit of farmers and their supporting cast of geneticists and agronomists.
Eat the Vegans
Hmmm, they are renewables.
Histories most notorious Vegans Genghis Khan,Adolph Hitler,Pol Pot,Charles Manson
Mankind has been omnivorous for hundreds of thousands of years. That isn’t going to change because a few crack pots think that we should give up meat.
It is okay if someone wants give up meat or down grade their life style. The problem is so many people who have done so want to force everyone else to follow their live style. That definitely is not okay. It also requires some sort of dictatorship because most people are not willing to follow these crazy ideas.
I live in a area that is rural and mostly Agricultural and Livestock Farmer is still a big time buisness around here we cant allow some narrow minded Bean-Brain knob-head like Cory Booker to drive us into extinction just because he is stark raving stupid and member of the Stupid Jackass Party(Liberal Democrat)and he shows how stupid he is with that idiotic remark the fact that Livestock have been on this earth for a long long time but according to some pinheads their now causing Climate Change/Global Warming. Booker needs to wear a pink pussy hat to show what a total Dip-Wad he is
Nobody has the right to tell someone else how to eat. Not even Uncle Sam. People with digestive disorders don’t get to choose their diets; they are chosen by their disease. They have no choice but to eat what stays down – and IN. These people who want to dictate what you can or can’t eat should have to live a year with a digestive disorder. They’d change their minds real quick about someone else telling them what they should be eating.
Somebody needs to tell this moonbeam idiot that “Spartacus” died by crucifixion after hanging from a cross for three days…by meat eaters.
A few years ago they came up with this study that claimed strict vegans might have shrinking brains here is proof of that study right here Cory Booker Stupid as a stump
