Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts ramped up his crusade for the meat industry on Wednesday by endorsing a new beef passport program to promote meat eating, a few weeks after he blasted Colorados governor for a resolution encouraging its residents to eat less.
Ricketts, a Republican, cast meat as essential to his states economy and the nations food security. He criticized radical environmentalists and Bill Gates for promoting alternatives, such as synthetic, lab-grown meat, and for arguing that the current global meat production system isnt sustainable.
If you do away with the beef industry, youre going to be devastating Nebraska, Ricketts said at a downtown Lincoln steak house, where he issued his annual proclamation of May as Beef Month. It would have a huge impact on our small towns and rural communities.
Nebraska is one of the nations top beef-producing states, and much of the corn it produces is used for livestock feed.
