so the thesis of this article is that he eats meat? this piece is such a nothing-burger
I think it is specifically a meat-burger
The title, body of the article, and conclusion aren't cohesive at all.
I get the site has an ax to grind, but at least rewrite your title after writing your conclusion: "at least we're talking about new takes on masculinity at all."
I'm also disappointed they omit any discussion of hunting as responsible conservation and instead talk about how he's better at shooting clays than Republicans (do they not understand that "clay" is the material and not the species of pigeon?)
If I'm generous, their thesis is that making meat jokes to a vegetarian is cringe and represents a remaining element of toxicity to his masculinity, but yeesh; between the dad joke quality and the fact that corn dogs and turkey legs are long held traditions of the fair, it really falls flat.
The rest of the "hard hitting take" is really not correlated to his personal meat consumption. But it's ultimately reasonable criticism (and ties into their mission statement). Factory farms, meat packing, and ethanol are big business (and thus job sources) in MN, so yeah, as governor they'd like him to work on that, but a hit piece is a real shit way to get anyone to want to give you the time of day.
Edit: completely forgot to give you props for "nothing-burger!" Scared the cat when I laughed.
"there’s one classically “masculine” value that he proudly hasn’t let go of."
I think they missed the point of Walz. He represents a lot of classic masculine values, just without the toxic ones.
Is this article a false flag operation by the meat industry to give vegans a bad name? How out of touch with reality can you be?
