In a previous thread (read first: ), I outlined how the #WorldEconomicForum's #GreatReset & #BuildbackBetter plans also have a #diet part, called the #GreatFoodTransformation.

Let's now look at where it's coming from; planned way BEFORE #COVID19! Thread👇

The #EAT foundation -calling itself 'a Davos for Food'- has designed a #GreatFoodTransformation compaign to put the world on a so-called #PlanetaryHealthDiet, which is a semi-vegetarian diet (vegan also allowed) looking like 👇 (note that one can have more sugar than beef?!)

The '#GreatFoodTransformation' not only echoes Davos' #GreatReset but also the '#GreatTransformation' proposed in 2011 by the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU): wbgu.de/en/publication…

This German initiative (WBGU) is *very* influential at #EU & #UnitedNations level & already talked a lot in 2011 about moving away from #meat & #dairy, towards alternatives such as #insects. wbgu.de/fileadmin/user…

WBGU's ex-chair (Schellnhuber en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Joac…) founded the Potsdam Inst. for Climate Impact Research. He was replaced in 2018 by Rockström, ex-director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre

SRC & Rockström co-founded #EAT (AKA the #GreatFoodTransformation) with G. Stordalen

#EAT & Stordalen call themselves 'a Davos for Food' & want to use a corporate model to change the way we all eat. Which means working closely together with the largest food multinationals. What can go wrong? I refer again to my previous thread for details:

Stordalen had the connections as she was married to a Norwegian billionaire. Both the World Economic Forum & World Business Council for Sustainable Development heavily support EAT. In fact, it's nothing less than the #GreatDietReset within the #GreatReset dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…

Back to the Stockholm Resilience Centre: it's a joint initiative of Stockholm University, Beijer Institute & Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). The latter was named after the UN 1972 Stockholm Conference, set up by #MauriceStrong (father of #Agenda21) nationalpost.com/opinion/peter-…

In 1995, SEI joined the #Tellus Institute in setting up the Global Scenario Group arguing for a '#GreatTransition' (!!!) towards a #NewAge-style 'planetary phase of civilization' which already reads like today's narrative of the... #GreatReset!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary…

The founding president of Tellus was also in charge of the US centre of SEI. One of Tellus associate fellows (Speth👇) founded the World Resources Institute = now one of the closest allies of #EAT & dominated by Davos elites (see previous thread: )

Tellus' GSG fed the Global Environment Outlook series from UN Environment. Its work has been continued by the Great Transition Initiative -with strong #NewAge overtones. Check this from S. Rockefeller who talks about Maurice Strong's Earth Charter. greattransition.org/publication/th…

Another #Rockefeller member (Laurance R.) was patron of Maurice Strong's #NewAge centre, the Manitou Foundation. Take five minutes to read this, to understand the bizarre mindset of Strong, the godfather of UNEP.

We are at peak #ecospiritual New Age here: manitou.org/foundation/his…

Let's leave the folklore. More importantly: Strong was protagonist in almost ALL organizations that are now driving both the #GreatReset & #GreatFoodTransformation: World Economic Forum, WBCSD, UN Environment (UNEP), World Bank, WWF, WRI, Stockholm Inst,.. sourcewatch.org/index.php/Maur…

With Schmidheiny, whom he knew from Davos' #WorldEconomicForum, Strong co-founded the industrial lobby group 'Business Council for Sustainable Development' which became the #WBCSD in 1995 - now a key partner of #EAT. See again:

To sum up, the #GreatReset & #GreatFoodTransformation have little to do with #COVID. They're the legacy of a dynamic started in the 1970s: Strong's model for #PrivatePublicPartnerships looking into $$$ models for 'sustainable development' & 'global governance' Thanks for reading!
