In a Minnesota courtroom, an attorney asked the judge directly:

"Could the state BAN all BEEF production to fight climate change?"

The judge's clear answer: YES—legally possible, if there's any "rational basis."

That should stop you in your tracks.

This isn't just about cattle or farming regulations.

It's revealing how far government power could reach: wiping out entire industries, rural livelihoods &long-standing American traditions simply by linking them to a broad policy goal like "climate."

Family farmers have no ironclad protection.

Our reliable access to domestically raised food isn't sacred.

Generations of ranching knowledge & community food production could be dismissed as expendable.

If beef can be targeted today, tomorrow it could be poultry, dairy, pork—or any agriculture deemed inconvenient.

This isn't speculation. It's the quiet legal groundwork unfolding in cases like this, far from most headlines.

We need to wake up & push back before control over what we grow & eat becomes revocable permission.
