#TAX! Here's Davos' #WorldEconomicForum again, suggesting that we should tax meat eaters... 'like smokers' ?!?! What a #GreatReset that'll be! 😬

The idea is also spread by C. Figueres, a main driving force behind the Paris climate agreement & member of the Board of.... #WRI 🤔 The meat tax idea is further amplified by #EAT member Springmann who wrote a specific study on it: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

A #GreenNewDeal-linked plan of New York’s (#NYC) City Council (& mayor Bill #deBlasio) to halve the red meat supply in municipal buildings & phase out processed meats in schools & hospitals by 2030.
Ehrr... what about the future of New-York hot dogs? 🤔

Plans for #MeatlessMondays, e.g. in the Armed Forces of #Norway, which were met with resistance 😅[mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/1…], as well as in New York public schools: grist.org/article/new-yo…
Lobbying for a reduction of animal foods (meat, dairy, ...) in school canteens

In #Barcelona, this already implies a weekly minimum of two vegan meals & a maximum of one meal with red meat barcelona.cat/infobarcelona/…
In #Denmark, government canteens will be forced to go vegetarian 2 d/week - limiting the number of days when beef & lamb can be served to just one a week; it may later be extended to the country's train company, schools, kindergartens, & universities.

#SanFrancisco's decision to cut down on meat, eggs, & dairy in city #jails (50% reduction by 2024) & #hospitals (!!!! 😱) (15% reduction by 2023) sfweekly.com/news/city-jail…
#TheNetherlands: vegetarian meals as default option in the zoo of Amsterdam [at5.nl/artikelen/1875…], during events of its City Council [at5.nl/artikelen/1941…] or of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences [nos.nl/artikel/225996…] ??
Some would even go as far as a legal #ban on meat & dairy & eggs & fish. This is fringe, fortunately, but nonetheless an 'academic' publication. Also, it was funded by the #WellcomeTrust, which also happens to be one of the three founders of #EAT. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27929630/
On the softer site: #nudging. Which means: social engineering by fooling the people with marketing & story-telling.
Here's #WRI again: never say "Vegetarian sausage", use "Better Sausage" or "Field-grown Sausage" instead.
Public sector caterers in the UK, of which the meals reach 1/4 of the population and are being delivered to schools, universities, hospitals, and care homes, have pledged to cut meat by 20% theguardian.com/environment/20…
"Fundamental change to the entire food system" means "pressing reset" www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Incen…
🤔Will the #GreatReset and its #GreatFoodTransformation be fueled by margarine, corn oil, pot noodles, dehydrated soup & vegan desserts? 🤑

Back to the #EAT/#WEF-linked #C40 cities programme. While #Barcelona already adopted a weekly min. of 2 vegan meals & max. of 1 meal with red meat in schools (see previous tweet in this thread), #Milan also reduced meat availability in schools.
