No, it’s not “stop eating peasants,” although I wouldn’t be surprised to see the WHO pushing cannibalism as a solution to climate change. New Scientist magazine has already asked us to reconsider the morality of cannibalism, so don’t rule out the possibility that it will come up.
I’m not kidding, New Scientist really did write this up.
Cannibalism was surprisingly common among prehistoric humans. And new ways of analysing the leftovers challenge our negative stereotypes about this taboo subject. https://t.co/PLPzj4xtkT

But former terrorist (as a member of the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front) and current head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, isn’t going quite that far yet. Instead he is asking the world’s citizens to reconsider their eating habits to become more carbon-friendly. Eat less meat, eat more plants, etc.
Except as we have seen in Europe, growing plants isn’t that cool either if you want to prioritize the well-being of Mother Earth. Farmers in Europe are having their operations closed down, explaining all those (barely reported) tractor protests. Growing things is bad for the environment, and raising animals is as well.
Best just quit eating.
WEF- John Kerry: The farming industry must be destroyed in order to achieve Net Zero.
“Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. And we can’t get to Net Zero, we don’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution.” pic.twitter.com/53MLCXiENO— Red Dragoon (@The_Red_Dragoon) January 21, 2024
The WHO and other Establishmentarians want us to eat plants and “other” sources of protein, and by now we all know what that means. Bugs, which we keep being told are really really good sources of protein and good for us too. Gaia will love us.
Next time you eat, think about all the harm that obtaining food for humans causes to the planet. 🤡 https://t.co/0eH2IuCGzp

Do you think I am exaggerating about insects? If you have read my posts on the subject you should know by now that the push is on to change our diets to one enjoyed by our primate ancestors when they couldn’t kill an animal.
Tyson Foods just invested in a company making insect protein foods. At first the insect proteins will be fed to farm animals, but aren’t we supposed to quit eating farm animals? They fart or something.

Lovely. Just what we have all been looking for. Cricket flour is already going into foods such as pizza, and frozen insect patties have wound up in grocery stores.
Be careful out there. https://t.co/rki2wRau4U

Del Buono, owner of La Rambla in Maccarese, Italy, recently said he’s looking forward to adding cricket powder to the dough for a specialty pie he’ll market as a “protein pizza.”
“Crickets fall completely within the range of Italian tastes,” Del Buono told CBC News. “It’s a nutty taste with a hint of anchovies—perfect for a vegetable-covered pizza.” He also said the powder adds elasticity to his dough and “makes it easier to work with.”
Jose Cianni and Fabrizio Lunazzi, the founders of Nutrinsect in the Marche region of Italy, want to normalize crickets as a food ingredient. Of course, they do grow crickets for a living, so you can’t blame them. They’re working to position crickets as an advance in green farming—harvesting the jumpy little chirpers requires a fraction of the land and water used in standard agricultural practices—and as a nutritional boost for folks who need more protein in their diets. “Emissions in insect farming are negligible,” Cianni explained to CBC News. “If you think that traditional farming makes up 14% of global greenhouse emissions, we need solutions like this.”
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus helped lead the world through its wildly successful pandemic response, so we surely should trust him to lead us to a brighter and healthier future in which the transnational elite enjoys their Foie Gras and tenderloins while the rest of us learn to love crickets and tree bark.
US taxpayers, by the way, are the largest donors to the World Health Organization, ensuring that US citizens get the very best advice and that we suck up to the Chinese Communist Party early and often.
For years, we have been sleepwalking into a world by a transnational elite who pal around with each other while dreaming up ways to humiliate and immiserate the plebs.
It’s time for that to stop. Let me go eat a big juicy steak with a glass of wine while I figure out the best way to accomplish that.
