Something Wicked This Way Comes
Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder turned billionaire philanthropist, recently stated that he is hopeful that fake meat products will eventually be a “very good” option for consumers, even though the share of such products in the meat market is currently small. Gates argues that consuming meat alternatives is an important step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as it can lower animal consumption.
The idea of fake meat may seem like a solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but it’s important to consider the long-term effects that have not been thoroughly tested. Additionally, many Americans don’t want this change and will not bend to the so-called “great reset.”
The Problems with Fake Meat
Fake meat products, such as those from Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, are marketed as plant-based food options that range from burgers to chicken nugget alternatives. These products are also being developed by companies such as Upside Foods, which takes animal cells to then grow meat in a laboratory environment.
While these products may be marketed as healthier alternatives to traditional meat, they are not without their problems. Studies vary when it comes to the effect that animal agriculture has on greenhouse gas emissions, with estimates ranging from roughly 10 to 20 percent of global emissions. However, most studies list it as a leading contributor to climate change.
One of the main concerns with fake meat is the use of chemicals. The Impossible Burger, for example, has been clearly identified as containing compound combinations that are toxic, namely the carcinogen glyphosate. These chemicals are necessary to make plant-based products taste like meat.
Another concern is the lack of long-term effects that have been tested. Fake meat products have been on the market for only a few years, so there is no way to know what the long-term effects on our health will be.
The Great Reset
The idea of the “great reset” is a term used by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and world leaders to describe a push for global changes in various industries, including the food industry. The push for fake meat products is just one example of this.
The problem with the Great Reset is that it is being imposed on people without their consent. Most Americans don’t want to change their diets, and they shouldn’t have to. The push for fake meat products is just another example of how the elite are trying to impose their will on the rest of us.
Conclusion
While Bill Gates may be hopeful that fake meat products will eventually be a “very good” option for consumers, it’s important to consider the long-term effects that have not been thoroughly tested. Additionally, many Americans don’t want this change and will not bend to the so-called “great reset.” It’s also worth noting that the Impossible Burger has been clearly identified as containing compound combinations that are toxic, namely the carcinogen glyphosate, and that the long-term effects on our health are unknown. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual to decide what they want to eat, but it’s important to be aware of the potential problems associated with fake meat products.
