#Nutriscore vs. #NOVA or, to put it differently, should we label this vitamin-fortified sugar formulation (that is obviously targeting children) as:

- "good nutritional quality"
- or as "ultra processed food"?

Greenwashing it as "BIO" doesn't really help much.
world.openfoodfacts.org/product/761303…
Tweaking the formulation by adding 20% "hydrolyzed rice" (nutri-washed as "cereals") seems to further upgrade the scores. It's still fortified sugar though. And it's aiming at 3-year old children.

Ingredients (in descending order of importance): sugar, starch, carrageen, mineral concentrate, vanilla aroma, colorants.

#NOVA: "ultraprocessed food"
#Nutriscore: "good nutritional quality" - 😭??

"No one left behind"
= PR slogan of the WEF technocrats

"Legal mechanisms"
= banning, restricting, forcing, ...

"Rethinking protein"
= replace animal source foods with factory-made concoctions
Brought to you by the usual suspects: EAT founder + a mixture of UN representatives, finance hotshots, animal rights/vegan militants, companies with vested interests in imitation foods, & their academic stormtroopers

Overview here: rethinkingprotein.com/?utm_campaign=…
And that includes... Oatly 🤦‍♂️ Image

"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"
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33945979/
"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"

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
