Iowa Senator Joni Ernst introduced
legislation this week to prohibit U.S. armed forces facilities from establishing “Meatless Monday,” suggesting that such a program might leave soldiers without adequate meat protein....
Ernst, who was born and raised on a farm, received national attention during her 2014 Senate election with a
television ad called “Squeal.” In the spot, Ernst promises to make lawmakers in Washington squeal the same way as she did castrating pigs. Her state is the leader in pork production and the second-largest producer of red meat overall.
