This stuff is completely imaginary. Biden has not proposed any limit on Americans’ meat consumption.
What happened: 1) The Daily Mail ran an article that dishonestly connected Biden’s climate plan with a not-at-all-about-Biden study. 2) Others on the right just ran with this.

The UMichigan study is not about the Biden plan at all. It looks at what would happen to emissions if US people hypothetically cut their meat consumption by various %. Daily Mail took the biggest hypothetical % reduction studied and falsely made it sound like Biden demands this.
In children’s terms, the study found that if people reduce meat eating by a lot, emissions would fall a lot.
Daily Mail was like...Biden wants to cut emissions by a lot. Therefore, he’ll force people to reduce meat eating by the same amount this random study looked at.

Martin Heller, one of the authors of the not-about-Biden study all of this nonsense is misusing, told me today, “I, admittedly, have no idea what Biden& #39;s plan has to say about our diets.”
