Relax! The founder of @WEF, Klaus Schwab, has described & #39;stakeholder capitalism& #39; as his preferred model, positioning & #39;private corporations as trustees of society& #39; to & #39;address social and environmental challenges& #39;. https://time.com/5742066/klaus-schwab-stakeholder-capitalism-davos/">https://time.com/5742066/k...
In 2019, WEF entered into a partnership with the United Nations to accelerate the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ( #sustainabledevelopmentgoals) Its plan is to shape policy proposals through a Fourth Industrial Revolution using the & #39;URGENCY& #39; credo. https://www.weforum.org/press/2019/06/world-economic-forum-and-un-sign-strategic-partnership-framework/">https://www.weforum.org/press/201...
Anybody knows WHY the development of the Sustainable Development Goals ( #SDGs), which are now gospel, required the presence of the ex-CEO of Unilever, Podesta, Cameron, etc. in the UN panel of & #39;27 eminent persons& #39;? Philanthropy surely? https://www.un.org/sg/en/management/hlppost2015.shtml">https://www.un.org/sg/en/man...
One of the many targets is the & #39; #FutureOfFood& #39;, tightly interlinked with the core activity of & #39;Developing Sustainable Business Models& #39; https://intelligence.weforum.org/topics/a1Gb0000000pTDPEA2?tab=publications">https://intelligence.weforum.org/topics/a1...
References to the diet are already commonly used in official policy documents worldwide to justify a shift towards plant foods (e.g. EU #GreenDeal). The SDGs and the Planetary Boundaries concept further serve as its formal framework of legitimization. https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/communication-annex-farm-fork-green-deal_en.pdf">https://ec.europa.eu/info/site...
It& #39;s no secret conspiracy: EAT self-identifies as a & #39;Davos for food& #39;, planning to & #39;add value to business and industry& #39; and & #39;set the political agenda& #39; https://livewellforlife.eu/news/eat-stockholm-food-forum-a-davos-for-food/">https://livewellforlife.eu/news/eat-...
EAT& #39;s founder: "I contacted Prof Rockström, executive director of Stockholm Resilience Center, to discuss how we could gather the world’s leading experts and stakeholders from different disciplines and sectors to convene a potential ‘Davos for Food’" #3f93af175474">https://www.forbes.com/sites/eveturowpaul/2016/10/26/why-gunhild-stordalen-believes-food-entrepreneurs-will-change-the-world/ #3f93af175474">https://www.forbes.com/sites/eve...
EAT& #39;s industrial pillar is spearheaded by FreSH, a partnership with the @WBCSD, of which the President is member of EAT& #39;s Advisory Board. https://eatforum.org/people/advisory-board/">https://eatforum.org/people/ad...
FReSH "brought together 25 WBCSD member companies to transform the food system. More than 30 companies are now part of this project" - some of them here, ready to develop "The Future of Food" for you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten"> https://eatforum.org/initiatives/fresh/">https://eatforum.org/initiativ...
A common pattern is the strong anti-meat rhetoric by the FReSH member companies. And the ultraprocessed & #39;plant-based& #39; business solutions involved, of course.

Is this how the Future of Food will look like? Like vegan ice cream?
Or is the Future of Food= 3D-printed microbial glop?

Also on EAT& #39;s advisory board: the founder of Rethinkx, a UK think tank promoting & #39;precision fermentation protein& #39; to bring the meat and dairy industries to & #39; #collapse& #39; by 2030. https://www.rethinkx.com/press-release/2019/9/16/new-report-major-disruption-in-food-and-agriculture-in-next-decade">https://www.rethinkx.com/press-rel...
Anybody surprised that BlackRock is on EAT& #39;s advisory board too, to decide about our global Future of Food and in support of the Great Food Transformation (check: https://eatforum.org/people/advisory-board)?">https://eatforum.org/people/ad...

The world& #39;s largest asset manager and shadow bank: https://thestrategystory.com/2020/09/18/blackrock-the-story-of-the-worlds-largest-shadow-bank/">https://thestrategystory.com/2020/09/1...
EAT works very closely with the World Resources Institute. WRI& #39;s Board of Directors has close ties to Davos& #39; WEF, large financial institutions (Goldman Sachs, ..), the Council on Foreign Relations, Rockefeller Foundation, Oxford Analytica, ... https://www.wri.org/about/board ">https://www.wri.org/about/boa...
WRI& #39;s Corporative Consultative Group encompasses major players in the food and beverages industry too ( https://www.wri.org/business/join-corporate-consultative-group-ccg)">https://www.wri.org/business/... Its activities within the dietary sphere include the development of social engineering initiatives to implement EAT& #39;s Great Food Transformation.
Their theoretical framework is based on the “Shift Wheel” approach to “ #DisguiseTheChange”, make meat “socially unacceptable” & “constrain its display” ... https://wriorg.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/Shifting_Diets_for_a_Sustainable_Food_Future_1.pdf?_ga=2.114696014.831878447.1548317259-387216062.1543582872">https://wriorg.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-publ...
Which is all rather needed, since EAT perfectly know that we shouldn& #39;t "leave this to the individual or the whim of consumer choice". What is needed according to its commission is: HARD POLICY INTERVENTIONS. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31788-4/fulltext">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/...
And friends in high places. The World Economic Forum only goes so far. Better get that extra push too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">
Stepping up. the above-mentioned EAT, WEF, WBCSD, WRI, UN, & their allies of the industrial-NGO complex (eg. WWF) are part of a "Global Commons Alliance" together with large business platforms [e.g., Ceres, Natural Capital Coalition, and We Mean Business] https://globalcommonsalliance.org/ ">https://globalcommonsalliance.org/">...
Oh look who& #39;s also part of this larger network (cf. red box in the previous picture). The winner of the highest environmental distinction of the United Nations: Impossible Foods. Is the UN now officially marketing junk food? https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/press-release/plant-based-meat-revolutionaries-win-uns-highest-environmental-honor">https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-...
Or let me rephrase that: are the United Nations now giving prestigious prizes to forces that want to push animal husbandry into a & #39;death spiral& #39;?
Because words like & #39;collapse& #39;, & #39;death& #39; & & #39;elimination& #39; seem to be part of the vocabulary indeed. So what& #39;s the timeline for this Great Food Transformation?
And the UN seems to be happy about mayors of global cities committing themselves to achieve EAT& #39;s Planetary Health Diet for their citizens by 2030? Which in an ambitious scenario means no #meat, no #dairy? Don& #39;t believe me? Read this: https://www.c40.org/press_releases/good-food-cities">https://www.c40.org/press_rel...
Branca, member of EAT & WHO made it clear that, within the food system, & #39;everything has to be #reset [...] we have to have much smaller amounts of meat on our tables. We need to #reset, and we need to adjust... The WHO will be working on the consumer side& #39; https://clf.jhsph.edu/viewpoints/francesco-branca-healthy-and-sustainable-diets-everything-has-be-reset">https://clf.jhsph.edu/viewpoint...
In parallel to the #GreatReset, & #39;Action tracks& #39; will be developed at the UNFoodSummit 2021 ( #FoodSystems); the track dealing with & #39;sustainable diets& #39; will be chaired by EAT& #39;s founder (Stordalen) & will have the @WHO at its disposition as & #39;anchoring agency& #39; https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2020/09/leading-experts-chosen-to-drive-five-priority-areas-for-un-food-systems-summit/">https://www.un.org/sustainab...
The goal, according to EAT, is & #39;to take full advantage of the Summit& #39; and & #39;to force the kind of far-reaching changes that the world now desperately needs& #39;.

Lean back, they& #39;ll take care of your needs. https://eatforum.org/learn-and-discover/eat-at-the-un-food-systems-summit-2021/">https://eatforum.org/learn-and...
Will it really be the end of meat, as some within this network claim? No, the World Economic Forum will look after you - they& #39;ll make it in a lab. Which makes so much more sense. From a totalitarian point of view with control over the food supply that is. https://twitter.com/o_rips/status/1275505632712380416?s=20">https://twitter.com/o_rips/st...

On a more tragic note - the red line below indicates the level of meat proposed by the EAT diet (0-16kg/p/y) & how countries that meet this recommendation are also the ones with rampant stunting rates in young children.
