Beef (or any other kind of meat). Itâs whatâs for dinner.
At least thatâs what the Mesa County commissioners, along with several others across the state, want to see on Saturday as a protest to Gov. Jared Polisâ proclamation for a Meat-Out Day.
Like other local leaders scattered around the state, the commissioners approved a resolution calling March 20 âMeat-In Day.â
The countyâs proclamation, similar to others across the state and nation, is meant to honor Coloradoâs livestock and farming communities, saying they play a huge role in the stateâs economy.
âI think itâs important to note that every cow that you see out standing in the field, pun intended, is worth $600 to $800 in our economy every single year,â said Janie VanWinkle, a local rancher and president of the Colorado Cattlemenâs Association. âWeâre about feeding people.

PUEBLO â How could you, honestly .
This is how Ernie Meyer, owner at Bay s Meat Market in Pueblo described his reaction when the Governor proclaimed March 20 as MeatOut day, encouraging people statewide to go plant-based for the day.
Agriculture is Colorado s second biggest economic sector, and Meyer says the importance of local meat producers was reflected during the pandemic as his business got busier.
âWeâve just come out of a pandemic, proving that we need to have a sustainable food source here locally . Cause there were times when it was tough to get and get shipped into our area to meet the demand when we were in a crisis situation.
Scientists discover how novel pathogens promote colorectal cancer development
Do BMMFs, the novel infectious agents found in dairy products and bovine sera, play a role in the development of colorectal cancer? Scientists led by Harald zur Hausen detected the pathogens in colorectal cancer patients in close proximity to tumors. The researchers show that the BMMFs trigger local chronic inflammation, which can cause mutations via activated oxygen molecules and thus promote cancer development in the long term. BMMFs and inflammatory markers were significantly more frequently detectable in the vicinity of malignant intestinal tumors than in the intestinal tissue of tumor-free individuals.
