Dystopian idea, & it will not happen. If he thinks that the entire world will happily substitute the foods they have always cherished & thrived on since the beginning of humanity for his company's drab assortment of protein-isolate imitations, his hubris is in for a big surprise.
No matter how much support he's getting from friends in high places...

#PlanetaryHealth & #GreatTransition are as much of a warning sign as #BuildBackBetter or #GreatReset. If someone uses these words, be *very* suspicious. It's not just empty rhetoric, it's much worse.

The 'São Paulo Declaration on Planetary Health', referred to in the article above was published in the #Lancet & supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). thelancet.com/journals/lance…

"The Government stressed a meat or dairy tax was not part of its Net Zero strategy [..] Most livestock farmers are break-even at best. You start putting taxes on them & they're out of business. It will not only hit farming, it will devastate communities" metro.co.uk/2021/10/21/pap…

2/ Let's start with a reminder of this infamous deal between the @WEF and the @UN, dating from 2019, before the Summit. weforum.org/press/2019/06/…
3/ The person standing on the left in the previous picture, next to Schwab, is Børge Brende, President of the WEF. A #Norwegian ex-minister.
