Is President Biden cutting 90% of red meat from your diet, limiting you to four pounds a year and one burger per month?

A U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesperson told Lead Stories there's no such proposal as one claimed in a social media post, which itself stems from an erroneous report by a British publication.

The Biden administration announced a new climate change plan on April 22, 2021, that pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50%-52% from 2005 levels by 2030. The administration did not announce plans to limit the amount of red meat Americans could buy or eat.

The claim about red meat limitations came from a false report in the British tabloid The Daily Mail. The site published an article that erroneously connected Biden's new climate proposals to a 2020 University of Michigan academic paper that is not by Biden, about Biden, nor a statement of Biden administration policy.

"There is no such effort or policy that exists by this Administration," the USDA spokesperson said.
