At a CNN Climate Town Hall on Sept. 4, 2019, then-Sen. Kamala Harris wanted the government to create "incentives" for Americans to eat less meat, even agreeing to change the food pyramid. According to her, this could curb the effects of climate change. The event was part of the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries. Before she dropped out of the race, a voter asked if she supported changing the nation's dietary guidelines to reduce the consumption of red meat – because, according to the woman, climate change is linked to the "overproduction of red meat." Harris answered: "I think the point that you're raising in a broader context, which is that, as a nation, we actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating because we have a problem in America." "So the answer is yes," she continued. "I will also say this: The balance that we have to strike here, frankly, is about what government can and should do around creating incentives, and then banning certain behaviors." During the same gathering, she admitted to having cheeseburgers from time to time. "But there also has to be what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation, and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment. We have to do a much better job at that, and the government has to do a much better job at that," she said. Meanwhile, the administration of President Joe Biden has been pushing ways to combat climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, switching to electric vehicles and allegedly even eating meat substitutes such as bugs rather than consuming red meat. "Joe Biden's climate plan includes cutting 90 percent of red meat from our diets by 2030," Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) tweeted in 2021. "They want to limit us to about four pounds a year. Why doesn't Joe stay out of my kitchen?" But Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack denied it back then. "There is no effort designed to limit people's intake of beef coming out of President Biden's White House or USDA," Vilsack said as reported by Politico. "Sometimes in the political world, games get played and issues are injected into the conversation knowing full well that there’s no factual basis."

Musk: "Shamala" Harris is an extinctionist

Harris' previous video where she talked about the youth experiencing "climate anxiety" while projecting their future has recently resurfaced and it elicited scrutiny and negative reactions from Republicans, journalists and even Big Tech mogul Elon Musk. "Shamala is an extinctionist. The natural extension of her philosophy would be a de facto holocaust for all of humanity!" Musk wrote Saturday, July 27, on his social platform X. (Related: Make way for PRESIDENT KAMALA as Biden exits stage.) The video of Harris from September 2023, was shared by Donald Trump Jr. as well as Republicans' vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). In the said footage, Harris argued the large young voter turnout in 2020 was in part due to their concerns about climate change. "Because young people said, 'We're not leaving it to other people to decide how we are dealing with the climate crisis' – you know, I've heard young leaders talk with me about a term they've coined called 'climate anxiety,'" Harris said at Reading Area Community College, as part of her "Fight for Our Freedoms" college tour. Trump Jr. on Saturday claimed Harris was "suggesting young people should not have children due to climate change." Vance reposted former President Donald Trump's son's comments on X: "It's almost like these people don't want young people starting families or something. Really weird stuff."
