The Bug Diet: From Conspiracy Theory to Reality with UK Government's Backing
Let's set the stage.
Earlier in the year, a conversation between Gene Demby from NPR's Code Switch and NPR reporter Huo Jingnan revolved around a conspiracy theory. This theory suggested that a secretive global elite was plotting to control the world's population, partly by making them consume insects.
Fast forward to today, and we have a report from The Telegraph titled "Public will get the bug for eating insects under Government-backed drive."
Here's what the British paper had to say:
The government is backing a research center that aims to make insects and other meat substitutes more appealing and readily available to the public. This initiative comes in response to the increasing innovation in meat alternatives, driven by the recognition of the environmental impact of animal agriculture. This sector is responsible for approximately 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions from food production.
Recently launched products by British companies include minced meat made from crickets harvested in Cambridge and pet food produced from chicken cultivated from egg cells. It is hoped that these will become more common.
The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC) will work on reducing bureaucratic hurdles and ensuring food safety. It will also explore ways to market meat substitutes to consumers through focus groups and surveys.
Prof Anwesha Sarkar from the University of Leeds, the research center tasked with ensuring the safety of insect consumption for humans, stated, "We want to make alternative proteins mainstream for a more sustainable planet."
Alongside insects, Bill Gates has supported a lab-grown meat company named UPSIDE Foods. The World Economic Forum has also been promoting lab-grown meat.
Western governments are collectively striving to shift the food supply chain towards sustainability. This involves using climate policies to financially cripple small and medium-sized farms, facilitating a complete corporate takeover of the food supply chain. The ultimate goal is to transition the world onto a diet of insects and lab-grown meat.
However, there's a silver lining: former President Trump and RFK Jr. have voiced their opposition to this food reset plan, advocating for the support of small farms.
Henry Kissinger once famously stated, "Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world."
In order to save a nation, control of the food supply chain must be returned to small farms.
Bottom Line
It seems that what was once dismissed as a conspiracy theory has now become a reality, as the UK government backs initiatives to make insect consumption mainstream. This shift towards more sustainable food sources is a contentious issue, with critics arguing for the preservation of small and medium-sized farms. What are your thoughts on this development? Do you believe that a transition to alternative proteins is necessary for a more sustainable planet? Share this article with your friends and see what they think.
