🧵👇 THREAD

The current age is one of SYSTEMISM or ‘faith in Systems’.

Below some reflections on the very fashionable #FoodSystems paradigm (based on Gall's great work 'Systemantics'), especially in view of the upcoming 2021 @UN @FoodSystems Summit.

There may be trouble ahead.
The prevailing view is one of the System-as-machine, whereby it would suffice to know & master a set of underlying mechanisms to understand, predict, & steer System’s behaviour & outcomes, in response to a Problem.
However, this utopian mindset has been criticized for the likely failure & damage it entails & the false sense of holistic management it seems to suggest. Frequently, Systems turn out to be an interventionist expression of high-modernist and reductionist top-down administration.

In the (urban middle classes of) the post-industrial West, the symbolic value of #meat has been inverted. It always stood for nourishment & vitality, but now represents debauchery & harm.

What happened?

THREAD 🧵: a (very) simplified version of a complex historical trajectory
In the mid-19th C, coming from a Swedenborgian legacy (& building on even earlier meat-avoiding asceticism & mysticism), meat starts to be seen as impure in some Christian sects. Within that same legacy, Theosophy & New Age develop. The first vegetarian societies are founded.
With modernity, scientism develops, & thus an obsession with resource control, monitoring, metrics, top-down interventionism & societal progress & emancipation. Household economies are born, so that diets (now a matter of calories, not tradition) become a target for zealotry.

BILL GATES, big investor in synthetic meat & in the militant organizations lobbying for its implementation (eg. Good Food Institute) & media hailing its virtues (eg. Guardian), wants to use REGULATION to move ALL rich countries to ... 100% synthetic beef. technologyreview.com/2021/02/14/101…
Here's a thought:
- Gates is a WHO top donor
- WHO is the "anchoring agency" for Action Track 2 on sustainable diets (chaired by EAT's founder) in the upcoming UN Food Systems Summit
- The UN Summit will set the agenda for future dietary policy worldwide
aleph-2020.blogspot.com/2020/08/ideolo…
- WHO's Branca (EAT-Lancet member) wants to "reset" the food system & work on the "consumer side"
- EAT's founder & Action Track 2 chair wishes to "to take full advantage of the Summit...to force" EAT's idea of change
- Good Food Institute also involved

Most have heard of @wef's 2021 #TheGreatReset or its earlier 2012 #GreatTransformation.

Many are aware of #EATLancet's #GreatFoodTransformation.

Few know #Tellus' #GreatTransition or #WBGU's #GreatTransformation.

The similarities of the names aren't coincidental.
thread👇
All go back to an interrelated network of organizations, many of which were shaped by Maurice Strong in the '70-'90s. Strong was an oil businessman, New Ager, Rockefeller asset & UN protagonist. #TheGreatReset & its dietary part #TheGreatFoodTransformation are part of his legacy.
Today, the post-Strong Great Transition/Transformation network is being mobilized for the UN #FoodSystems Summit. The aim: to change dietary policies worldwide.

In addition, "vegan tech" (lab-grown foods) has joined the club, $$$-fueled by #SiliconValley investors (& others).

😖 This is so 2020 something. At least in the old days, prophets of doom didn't need the "I'm an expert" disclaimer.
But self-hatred seems to be alive and well...
Let's all just auto-destruct?

If #SDGs are meant to save earth from industrial destruction, why was the ex-CEO of Unilever (producer of ultraprocessed foods) among its designers on the "UN High-Level Panel of eminent persons"? Not to mention sharks like Podesta & Cameron?

Unless...🤔

And WHY has the @UN signed a strategic partnership, to meet the #SDGs, with the greatest predators of them all: the elites of the corporate system represented by the @wef? Because they expect that the world's largest polluters can be "converted"? Or...🤔

This 👇 may turn out to be our era's biggest joke. And a dangerous and bad one too. Image
