"Pemmican is a meat product principally comprised of a mix of dried meat&fat [] Purported high nutrient & caloric density & product robustness have merited pemmican a rich history as a food for Indigenous communities, fur traders, explorers & the military"

"Stefansson (1957) was a strong proponent of pemmican, & called the interest demonstrated towards it during WWII the “Second Pemmican War”. He described the studies undertaken as a revolt of modern dietitians against the traditional dominance of pemmican as an emergency ration."
"Stefansson gave clear recommendations for the use of pemmican believing it should only be an emergency ration and eaten in lesser amounts than would like to be eaten. He also believed that plain pemmican was the best"
"Stefansson maintained that in the ideal pemmican, fat should supply 70–80% of the calories with the balance of 20–30% from the lean. A gradual adjustment to pemmican was suggested, of not more than 1000 cal the first day & divided into at least four meals"

First of all, food systems don't need to be "reset", that's a ludicrous statement. And second: stay the hell away from people's diets, you predators.
Third, you're absolutely clueless when it comes to dealing with "systems". @WEF's toxic corporate network created this mess in the first place, and your #GreatReset & #DavosAgenda will just make things much worse. And put all of us at serious risk.
"Save the world" essentially means installing a top-down #GreatFoodTransformation, forcing us all into adopting a preposterous #PlanetaryHealthDiet and launching a massive dietary experiment which may lead to full disaster.

Here's the Michigan University study that came up in the recent (overblown) #Biden/#beef controversy: css.umich.edu/sites/default/… What would the carbon footprint reduction be when Americans would reduce beef intake with 90% (VERY hypothetical)?

Let's look at the numbers... THREAD👇
Here are the scenarios (converted to yearly data):

- baseline: Americans diets = 1.8 tCO2-eq/p/y
- halving animal foods = ?
- additional reduction of beef to 10% = ?
Here are the predicted savings (per person, per year):

- halving animal foods = 1.2 t CO2-eq/p/y --> -0.6 t
- + beef restriction (to 10%) = 0.9 t --> -0.9 t

The @UN #FoodSystems Summit aims at transforming the way the world eats based on 5 Action Tracks.

This is the composition of #AT2. One would expect a sound consortium, given the impact this will have on all of us. If you don't identify the problem, let's spell it out. Thread 🧵
The Chair is the founder of EAT, an organization advocating a near-vegetarian "Planetary Health Diet" through an interventionist "Great Food Transformation". dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
She's also a WEF Young Global Leader; no surprise that the initiative is to be seen as a "Davos for food" with leading food multinationals in its slipstream (the 'plant-based' market being their new business model) - check this thread for background:

Who has information on this shady "Earth Love Foundation", linked to Davos' Young Global Leaders, & to the equally shady "Tellus Mater", founded by Jamie Arbib? Arbib also founded Rethinkx - the ones claiming collapse of animal ag by 2030 cliscep.com/2015/11/22/can…
This is what RethinkX is about:
Note that Arbib is also on the advisory board of EAT

The @UN #FoodSystems Summit will have a massive influence on food policies & dietary guidelines, GLOBALLY, for decades to come

Action Track 2 ("Sustainable diets") is preparing us for a quasi-vegetarian "Planetary Health Diet"

Look who's in charge - 😱‼️👇
(+@WEF in background)
Also look at who's the leader representing "civil society" - that is, allegedly, you and me? How was this selected, who was responsible for it, and why was it allowed?

Nobody identified a problem here?

From the UN Food Systems Summit's working paper for Action Track 2.

"Healthy diets SHOULD include..." Not may, no: SHOULD.

Not even a mention of meat, dairy, fish, eggs.

Instead: we - yes you!- SHOULD eat beans, nuts & grains

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.
