New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) is suing JBS Foods, a major beef producer, accusing the company of misleading the public about the environmental impact of its products.

“The beef industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change, and JBS has falsely advertised its commitment to sustainability and endangered our planet,” James posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

James’s office filed the lawsuit Wednesday against JBS USA, the U.S. division of the Brazilian meatpacking giant, which is the world’s largest producer of beef products. The lawsuit argues that the company has mislead the public about its climate goals.

“JBS USA has claimed that it will achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, despite documented plans to increase production, and therefore increase its carbon footprint,” James’s office said in a press release.

The attorney general’s office noted that animal agriculture accounts for nearly 15 percent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions while beef production emits the most of any major food commodity. Beef production is also the driving force behind deforestation of the world’s tropical forests, the release said.

It is that office.

Client 9 was notorious for using it to threaten international companies like Sony for handouts and to make AIG and other Republican-leaning companies replace their board with Dem donors.

Gotta pay for the illegal aliens somehow. Might as well use climate change as a tool to fleece corporations to fund it.

Give it a couple more years and eating red meat will be considered far right wing.

Maybe this company is developing an industrial strength Beano tablet to reduce the flatulence. The state is using made up information so the company should be able to as well.

Why would any business remain in New York is mind blowing. I can promise you that Letitia James enjoys a nice steak, yet doesn't want you to have any.. and she has no problem with the hypocrisy because she is better than everyone else.

New York is really trying to get capital to leave the state.

I hope they are successful.

This is the kind dumbass thing that taxes your brain and patience. The only cure for this is a trip to Ruth's for a nice big NY strip. Medium with a side of onion rings.

These DA’s can eat lettuce and grass if they want. I will raise my beef and grow vegetables if it comes to it.
