Pence: "We're not gonna let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cut America's meat."

Vice President Mike Pence is trying to discredit Kamala Harris by pointing out that she wants to take away the meat from America's table. At a campaign rally, Pence said: "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would bury the economy under an avalanche of red tape... (She) said during her short campaign for president that Americans needed to be, and I quote, educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment. Senator Harris said that she would change the dietary guidelines of this country to reduce the amount of red meat Americans can eat. Well I've got some red meat for you. We're not going to let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cut America's meat. 

But jokes apart, it is indeed true that Kamala Harris has raised concerns about the impact that meat production has on climate change. Speaking at a CNN townhall last year, she said: 

I love cheeseburgers from time to time... But there 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 with that and the government has to do a much better job with that. 

Harris confirmed to CNN that she would consider changing the US's dietary guidelines to encourage people to eat less red meat. She said:

I strongly believe that the American consumer is still left without the information that you need and deserve to have about what it is that you're putting in your body or surrounding yourself with and the the health implications of those things. Across the board, we have to do a better job, and we're going to be taking on powerful interests.
