EPA Targets Summer Backyard Barbecues for Pollution Emissions

The Obama Administration knows the REAL threat to American security.

And don’t think for a moment that it has anything to do with ISIS or a nuclear Iran. No, the real threat is…

Drumroll, please…

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The decisions you make for yourself are dangerous. You simply can’t be trusted to do anything right according to the modern administrative state. You need government there to protect every step of the way, from your afternoon grilling session on the back patio during a beautiful spring day, to the shower you take at the end of a long work day.

From Fox News:

A Missouri state legislator wants the Environmental Protection Agency to back off of people’s backyard barbecues.

On Monday, State Senator Eric Schmitt (R) from St. Louis kicked off a #porksteakrebellion after he discovered the EPA is funding a study on propane grill emissions that suggest pit masters use a special tray to catch grease drippings and a “catalytic” filtration system to reduce air pollution, reports Fox News KTVI.

“The idea that the EPA wants to find their way into our back yards, where we’re congregating with our neighbors, having a good time, on the 4th of July, barbecuing pork steak or hamburgers, is ridiculous and it’s emblematic of agency that’s sort of out of control,” Schmitt said.

The EPA is funding a $15,000 University of California-Riverside study to look at the particulate emissions you breathe when grilling over an open flame. Along with the drip tray, the emission removal system includes the use of a “secondary air filtration system is composed of a single pipe duct system which contains a specialized metal filter, a metal fan blade, a drive shaft, and an accompanying power system with either a motorized or manual method,” according to study.
