#WEF22 #Davos2022 now also bringing in a guru to "save our future": a BJP/Modi-linked charlatan who favours a ban on cow slaughter, medicinal use of mercury, and avoidance of cooked food during lunar eclipse. What a circus.
He's also known as Jaggi Vasudev and he's a complete fraud. He's driving science educators in India mad (see article below). But #WEF22 #Davos2022 thinks it's a great idea to offer him a stage.

Because Schwab seems to think he's the One to save "The Great Reset" by creating "The Great Narrative"?
Video looking into the absurd "theories" of this highly dubious character. Your typical self-declared spiritual guru, essentially, but it is even worse than I thought 😱

"Bring sustainable food systems to the heart of the finance agenda" - take a moment to reflect on this and how this will play out in practice. And start worrying.
Guess who will do well under the FAIRR/EAT/UN/WBCSD regime?
For those who are unfamiliar with FAIRR: it's an investor company of which the membership & wider supporting network comprises institutional investors managing trillions of $ in combined assets. Founded in 2015 by Jeremy Coller, a vegan who wishes to change the food system.

In the EU, 96% of #feed ingredients aren't food grade: "cereals, soybean products & pulses [.] are predominantly not of a quality that are suitable for human consumption, but it must be acknowledged that an element of competition for land is present"
🧵1/6 fefac.eu/wp-content/upl…
Also: "When a feed ingredient that is food grade is sold to a feed operator, this is normally always the result of surpluses for which demand from the human consumption market could no longer be accommodated"
2/6
Thus: "from an economic point of view, feed production is per definition never in direct competition with human consumption, hence the significantly lower quotations on the feed market. In that sense, feed use of a material will [.] never drive shortages on the food market"

UN Environment Programme claims that meat is the "world's most urgent problem". Not fossil fuels. Not war or poverty. Meat. So in 2018, UNEP gave its most prestigious award to Beyond Meat & Impossible, two producers of vegan fast food. But more is to come.
Important thread 🧵
1/n Image
UNEP is now working on a document that will "assess" imitation foods, tissue-engineered lab meat & microbial biomass. To be published February-March 2023. No doubt anti-livestock agendas of all sorts will be loudly amplifying its outcomes next year.

Will we be told in the name of Planetary Health, that plant-based "eggs", "fish", "dairy" & "meat" made from protein isolate, refined oils & texturizes are better for us & the planet? Or that bioreactors are as good or better at making 🥩 & 🥛 than 🌱🐄?

Delighted that #GlobalBurdenOfDisease's Dr. Murray has responded to the criticism expressed in our letter in @TheLancet (🧾👉thelancet.com/journals/lance…), thereby confirming that the 36x higher estimate of deaths due to red meat consumption is NOT reliable.

🧵1/n
His response to our letter can be read here 🧾👉: …s-jbs-prod-cdn.jbs.elsevierhealth.com/pb-assets/Lanc…

& states/confirms the following:

2/n
1- a “clear protective relationship between red meat intake and haemorrhagic stroke”
2- “strength of evidence for a relationship between red meat & various outcomes, incl. IHD, is weak”
3- “estimates of attributable deaths for red meat will be reduced in future GBD analyses”

How a sugary breakfast cereal easily gets a #Nutriscore B, but can't escape an awful #NOVA score... No wonder why such corporations are typically happy to endorse the former & vilify the latter.
From "How Nestlé influences Swiss authorities" (in french) 👉 rts.ch/info/suisse/12…
Them being proud of the "first pizza with #NutriScore". This concoction is an insult to all pizzaiole in the world 😖 wuv.de/marketing/nest…
Same company: the "faux meat" market being ideal to play the #Nutriscore algorithms and fabricate A-B scores.
