New LANCET editorial: "what is a healthy amount of red or processed meat? It's looking increasingly like the answer, for both the planet & the individual, is very little [...] *The conversation has to start soon*"
🤔 So, what's this REALLY about ⁉️

Let's start with this business Valhalla (Clinton F, Ford F, J&J, ...) named "C40" & one of its partners "EAT"
Its goal: "covene decision makers who can transform the way we eat" 🤔‼️

So what is EAT? A highly-connected organisation for "food system transformation" founded by the wife of a Norwegian billionaire.

This one speaks for itself

EAT has partnered with "Lancet" and includes Willett (the nemesis of low-carb eating) in its core team, as well as Springmann, the vegan author of the recent "meat tax" paper.

Besides C40, EAT-Lancet is also closely connected to WBCSD via FreSH: "an ambitious global business partnership"

So, what is FreSH/WBCSD... Lo and behold...

That's all for now folks. But better prepare yourselves for some very aggressive communication (both in scientific journals & mass media) and, likely, attempts to intervene in governmental policies... (in the next months)

Of course the Barilla foundation is never far...
Which is an "independent think tank"...
With "no potential conflict of interest" 🤔
Hmm.
More hmm.
BIG hmmm.

Deciding together on how "to transform the global food system"

This sums it up: a preliminary diagram identifying ties between some of the players (industry, academics, ideologists, NGOs) behind the anti-meat campaign by EAT-Lancet coming our way in January 2019. So you know what to expect. @BelindaFettke, does this connect to your research?
Which may help to understand the recent editorial in The Lancet. A meat tax is on the agenda - so, who's going to stop this massive machine? At the Nexus Global Summit (July 2018) the strategy was clear, namely to "expedite this transition and ensure it becomes permanent" 🙄
Now also heading for primary schools...?!?
So, basically, the founders of EAT are telling the planet to stop eating meat and to drive bio-fueled Ferrari's instead...? 🤔
Decadents are paying for most of the anti-livestock network today. With Harvard, Oxford, & The Lancet on board. Surreal. Sad.

"his 2010 wedding to the now 33-year-old model-turned-physician, [with] famous guests who flew to Marrakech for the event [and a] $5 million price tag. Bob Geldof officiated."
How sustainable.
And these people are now hanging out with Willett? 🕺👯♀️👠🧨?
Expanding the network (work in progress)
This vegan Saoudi prince Khaled (= KBW Ventures) is also linked to Beyond Burger.
Updating...
The link EAT-Khaled is pretty clear
"ONS 2014 conference program to feature oil industry heavy hitters"
Wondering what Stordalen (EAT) was doing at this conference? 🤔
I suppose she was talking about bio-fueled Ferrari's...

Update.
Much more to elaborate on, but this may serve as a starting point for further exploration. It outlines the various ideological, academic, and industrial branches of the EAT-Lancet network. The agenda is clear. Expect more. A lot more.
