You may have read @john_vidal's piece on the protests by farmers & rights groups, denouncing the perverse influence of the @WEF over the @UN #FoodSystems Summit.

Let's look closer at what's going on here.

Thread 🧵👇

First, we need to understand that the Summit's intend is to fundamentally change the way we eat.

You would expect something like this to be supervised by the @FAO Committee on World Food Security. Instead, incomprehensibly, the @UN Headquarters in Rome took over.

Worse: the fact that the @WEF & @UN have signed a Strategic Partnership Framework to "accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" opened the door to corporate influence.

As a result, the Food Systems Summit has been hijacked.

This partnership has been rightfully condemned by many as a @WEF takeover of the @UN.

In general. But also with respect to the food policy programs that are overseen & catalyzed by the UN.

Let's investigate.

You'll find #TheGreatReset & #BuildBackBetter narratives all over the UN Food Systems Summit.

As in this pre-Summit "RESETTING THE FOOD SYSTEM" event co-hosted by the pasta giant Barilla's "Center for Food and Nutrition". barillacfn.com/en/food_forum/…

It's important to understand that the System's outcome is to set the global agriculture & dietary agendas for decades to come.

It will do so through 5 "action tracks". The one we will look at is where @WEF's grip is strongest:

#AT2 - "sustainable diets"
un.org/sustainabledev…

This is what the Action track 2 setup looks like. Let's dissect it. un.org/sites/un2.un.o…

The anchoring agency is @WHO.

Mostly represented by #EATLancet commissioner Branca who states that within the food system "everything has to be RESET [...] we have to have much smaller amounts of meat on our tables. We need to RESET"

- sounds familiar? clf.jhsph.edu/viewpoints/fra…

The chair of the track is the founder of EAT. She wants 'to TAKE full advantage of the Summit' & 'to FORCE the kind of far-reaching changes that the world now desperately needs'.

That's clear language.

Some background: the #EATLancet commission has designed a semi-vegetarian "Planetary Health Diet" meant to be implemented worldwide.

I first talked about this with @docmartincohen early 2019, warning that it could become a nasty affair.

Here's why:

https://twitter.com/fleroy1974/status/1087040261694386176?s=20

EAT is linked to a vast web of transnational corporations (including major food multinationals via WBCSD-FReSH), NGOs, UN, & bankers/investors, & of course... the WEF.

EAT's founder, by the way, was appointed as Young Global Leader by the WEF in 2015.

No surprise then that she has described EAT as a "Davos for food". Because that's exactly what it is. forbes.com/sites/eveturow…

BUT: what's in it for those big players?? Vegetarianism isn't exactly a business model 🤔

Except if you use it to force patented lab-foods & 'plant-based' faux meat/dairy/eggs/fish on the planet.

Fueled by investments by wealthy ideologists.

The vice-chair of the track is Ajay Vir Jakhar (Farmers Forum India), also on EAT's Advisory Board.

The same advisory board, where one also finds a BlackRock director (= the world's largest shadow bank 💰🤑) & many other fascinating figures: eatforum.org/people/advisor…

The Youth-Vice chair: L. Weidgenant, who is a vegan climate activist from Zero Hour International.

"How a Johns Hopkins student helped convince Dunkin’ to add vegan sausage to the menu": masslive.com/food/2019/08/h…

The track's Innovation pillar: led by the Good Food Institute (GFI; a VERY well-funded lobby group for vegan tech) - they assume that it will provide them with "influence on the innovation thinking across all five action tracks" gfi.org/blog/2020-top-…

Civil Society Leader: CEO of 50by40

= counting hard-core vegan activists among its members, but also GFI, WRI & True Health Initiative (with EAT's Walter Willett as a core member). Goal: 'a 50% reduction in global consumption of animal products by 2040'. 50by40.org/our-network

Coordinator Scientific Group: M. Herrero, another EAT-Lancet member, but not particularly problematic. It's beyond me what Herrero is doing or trying to achieve in this hornet nest, honestly 🤷‍♂️ eatforum.org/lancet-commiss…

Work stream 1 leader: J. Yi, President of Good Food Fund in China (government-backed), another vegan activist it seems. channels.ft.com/foodrevolution…

Work stream 2: D. Vennard, WRI, responsible for the Cool Food Pledge. Goal: consumer manipulation towards ‘plant-based’ diets.

WRI has a preference for social engineering of our diets (bans, taxes,...) wriorg.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/Sh…

On the Board of WRI (controlled by corporations, bankers, @CFR_org, etc), we find UNFCCC's C. Figueres: favors hard anti-meat legislation, also on the board of Impossible Foods. Her brother's an EAT 'alumnus' & the first person to become CEO of the WEF. businesswire.com/news/home/2021…

Work stream 3: , Y. Kakabadse, WWF representative.

Not directly related, but this is from a WWF report written by a former EAT member, B. Loken. Again: hard policies to steer away fro animal foods. Very anti-livestock. Also: WWF controls another action track (3) as a chair.

Hard interventionism is indeed what EAT is after. They essentially want the Planetary Health Diet for all. Globally. This Summit is where the breakthrough is supposed to happen.

Learn more about what their #GreatFoodTransformation will imply: aleph-2020.blogspot.com/2020/10/toward…

To conclude:

the #DavosAgenda endorses EAT & has literally declared that we "ALL NEED TO GO on the Planetary Health Diet".

WEF shapes the Food Summit.
Its Action track 2 is controlled by EAT.

Who will stop them?
