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. ???pic.twitter.com/XjOjhGoOLz

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's plan has to say about our diets.” Here’s a link to the study. http://css.umich.edu/publication/implications-future-us-diet-scenarios-greenhouse-gas-emissions … Fact check article to come!

Again, this is absolute nonsense based on nothing at all Biden did or said. But in certain circles, no explanation is needed even just 2.5 days after the lie was introduced into the right-wing ecosystem. (Or re-introduced, given that similar claims have been circulated before.)pic.twitter.com/hN21weKcCT

It's almost as if the Republicans have a culture war they are fighting and they are not the least bit interested in governing.
