With low-carb on the rise, Barilla has a clear mission: make us believe that pasta is healthy and good for the planet. Its strategy? Blame meat.

With a little help from its EAT-Lancet friends...

This is not just your conventional marketing.
Davos. Banks. Food policy makers. NGOs.
Signing a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Education.
Targeting primary schools with "an educational project".

Barilla's marketing machine is playing the "value" & "lifestyle" card since decades. That's how the family reached billionaire status. The "plant-based" narrative is now the new money maker.

FAO: 900 million poor people globally, half of them depend directly on livestock for their livelihoods (capital, income, traction, fertilization, milk/meat/eggs, leather/hides/skins).

Livestock contributes to major pathways out of poverty.
FAO: livestock contributes to food security worldwide, providing 33% of protein, combating micronutrients deficiencies (“hidden hunger”), and boosting crop productivity (manure, traction), ....
FAO: meat & dairy are important to nutrition and health, especially for children, pregnant women & the elderly. They can help reduce mortality among children and the newborn, providing micronutrients that are difficult to obtain in adequate quantities from plants source alone.

If you're interested in politics, climate policy and the current anti-meat discourse, you *should* know about Maurice Strong. If you don't know about Maurice Strong (which is likely) you REALLY should read this thread.

So, WHO exactly was Maurice Strong ???!

What is behind the "meat tax" narrative?

This overview is an update from a previous thread but more dense in information - read it slowly and carefully. It may come in handy somewhere mid-January 2019. Mark my words.

Just had a chance to look at the new paper on cardiovascular effects of a very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet in lean, healthy, young people. The results suggest that it may be a disaster for blood lipids in this population.
atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-…
LDL cholesterol increased in 15/15 people, average 44% increase. ApoB increased in 14/15 people, average 29% increase. No change in triglycerides. HDL cholesterol increased in 13/15, average 19% increase. FFA levels doubled. Yikes.
Primary limitations that are obvious to me are 1) Short duration. It was a 3-week trial. 2) Results probably don't generalize to people with obesity/overweight/metabolic syndrome where weight loss and metabolic improvements may occur concurrently.

@stalyf Pls I will add achievements you might have missed to this thread once I get the time. This discussion must be had for all those who think they can hoodwink us with empty rhetoric and shallow chants. Well done sir..
@stalyf Bros...I'm back to add some more perspective to your earlier postulations...but let's be clear, much as I believe PDP did a lot of good in the 16 years after they took over from the military they also committed atrocities, blunders & missed many opportunities to do better.
@stalyf 2. in some ways,I like to look at the tragedy of the Buhari years as a neccesary evil neccesary to set the party & Nigeria's head back to normal. In the future, they will be more serious about governance and governing. The following are some thoughts about the PDP & it's 16 years

1/So is this the new ‘old’ meme that Trump and his enablers are hoping will distract us from their real agenda:
DJT: “Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. . . “
Where have we heard that before?!
2/Oh yes! He said the very same thing about that so-called summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore! First Trump took us to the brink of nuclear war with his ‘fire and fury’ rhetoric and then he and Kim became new best friends! Did he think we’d forget?
3/This was my response when Trump autographed that Elton John CD and sent it to Little Rocketman:
“Was it all a hoax?The build up to war with NoK and the so-called summit where Trump acted like a deal making savior?Was it all propaganda?If so, what did these men really discuss?”

I have more respect for someone who openly supports the bad and is honest about their allegiances and identification then someone who claims their high vibration and good energy and then ignorantly supports the bad and can’t tell the difference. I respect honesty not ignorance.
No amount of astrology or metaphysical classes in a rec. center is going to save you from the real and raw energy power of this world and it also doesn’t mean you’re high vibration or know as much about other realms as perceived. Experience is more important. Most are blind.
I hate to say it, but no classes who you have to trust are giving you accurate info (majority of the time they don’t, but this isnt all the time) is going to overpower the raw power of those who learned by experience. Knowledge is one thing but raw natural power is a whole other
