Say Goodbye to Your Burger
November 24, 2020
THE experts at the World Economic Forum are set to bring an end to meat-eating as we know it. Though the earth is brimming with open space, future beef must, they say, be bioengineered in a lab:
The environmental impact of raising animals for consumption is significant. Research suggests that food production contributes to more than a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, and 80% of that is the result of animal agriculture.
The resources needed to create just one quarter-pounder burger are extraordinary: 6.7lbs (3kg) of feed, 52.8 gallons (240 litres) of water, 74.5 square feet (6.9 sq metres) of land and 1,000 Btu (1055 kJ) of energy. Watch this video to find out more …
Reducing the environmental impact of meat-eating is therefore a major challenge, and one that requires urgent action.
Innovative solutions such as home-grown meat, or the Impossible Burger, are needed because, as Bill Gates wrote in 2013, “we can’t ask everyone to become vegetarians”.
The Impossible Burger is made in a lab and is not meat.
It looks like a beefburger. It smells like a beef burger. And apparently, it tastes like a beef burger. The surprising thing? It contains no meat.
Sure.
The WEF calls this rethinking of food systems: “Bold Actions for Food as a Force for Good.” This slogan is chillingly reminiscent of the “Dare to think, dare to speak, dare to act” slogan of the Maoist government in China. Mao’s “bold actions for food” led to the collapse of agriculture and the deaths of 30 million.
If humanity does not rise up in revulsion and disempower the eugenicists in Davos, we will be facing similar scenarios. I guarantee you they themselves will not be eating Impossible Burgers for lunch.
