“As the nation’s ranches and farms endure one of the most severe droughts in decades, the Obama administration has ordered the Pentagon to look into purchasing a ‘second helping’ of all things meat. The Defense Department is reviewing its purchases of beef, pork and lamb to see if room can be made to buy more now and freeze them for later. The military already buys approximately 94 million pounds of beef, 64 million pounds of pork, and 500,000 pounds of lamb each year.”
