The plant-based diet rhetoric is sounding increasingly dictatorial.
Given that the anthropogenic climate change and resource footprint accusations against livestock agriculture do not hold water, what’s really behind the plant-based diet agenda?
Well, the empirical evidence suggests it is the advancement of plant-based diets for all.
Indeed, the plant-based and alternative protein movement is about more than industry disruption. It’s an ideology, one hell-bent on replacing traditional food with a utopian “food” solution – it’s political as much as it is commercial.
?
has this got anything to do with the Ukrainian and then Chinese and then N Korean famines brought on by forced collectivism etc?
For all? No indeed. Our masters can always count on enjoying real meat, raised “organically” just for them.
The real question is how long the rest of us can count on being fed at all before we’re hauled off to the extermination camps by our replacements, be they Muslim, Chinese or robotic. The health of the western proletariat is the last of our masters’ concerns. You don’t buy healthy organic treats for a dog you’re taking to the vet to be destroyed—and an agricultural sector that only has to support a few thousand humans will be perfectly sustainable.
(When my own dog’s time finally comes, and there is time before I send her to a reward that will beat mine hands down, she will be welcome to all the rotten-for-you human food that won’t poison her and that her stomach can still hold.)
Omnivores who get no meat will be less healthy, less vigorous, than those who do. Easier to control/defeat.
well, cannibalism will fix that. it will also fix the vegetarian problem.
Nice. I smell a short coming….
And yet again, leftards scream DIVERSITY at everyone while busily working on accomplishing the exact opposite.
This is ALL about the new ‘morality’ which has supplanted every Religion’s version of God. ‘The planet’ is their god … and their ‘god’ needs salvation by humankind. Thus elevating humanity to godhood. And if you do not accept your godhood … if you don’t convert … then you must be destroyed. Hmmm? Which Religion does this most closely resemble? Hmmm??
All false prophesy such as the “new morality” are doomed to failure – weeping and gnashing of teeth – and mounds of skulls.
They want to neuter us with soy. Guess what? Not happening!
First they came for the bacon…
The solution, obviously, is Solyent Green…. (Uh, no, thanks.)
Soylent Green unrefined is called Long Pig by some.
see my other comment.
It is political? it is commercial?
it is also a sort of cult
everything about the left and what they are imposing on us has more to do with a cult than anything else
I had a female acquaintance who is a classic loony left, crusading vegetarian/vegan, animal rights, tree-hugging, climate change zealot (she even ran for Parliament as a Dipper – in a very safe Conservative riding). One of her favourite lines to me was:
“If you eat corpses, you’ll soon be one”
To put this comment in perspective: I am about 10 years older than her and in perfect health (still have a current pilot’s medical), she on the other hand is collecting frequent flyer points at the local hospital, and has been for many years. Her husband isn’t much better (and I suspect he has been sneaking real food when she’s not looking, though probably not enough).
She is also as poor as a church mouse despite she and her husband running a business for many years.
Really, she is a classic case of someone making an emotional decision (not eating meat – cows have such lovely brown eyes!!) and spending the rest of her life trying to formulate a rational reason for her decision.
There’s no point in trying to use rational arguments against someone who makes most, if not all, decisions based on emotion.
“If you eat corpses, you’ll soon be one”
One would be wise to interpret that comment as a thinly veiled threat and act accordingly.
Prey eat vegetables.
Predators eat prey.
Who would you rather be?
Well, on the positive side it’s an improvement on the idea that we should eat insects. But, unless plant protein “meat” is dirt cheap, I think the majority of people will opt for animal based protein. Of course, if plant meat is cheap then it might acquire the stigma of poor man’s meat.
The venn diagram for who buys plant based protein to replace real meat will have the biggest overlap with people who drive a Prius and have solar panels. The rich like to eat expensive, exotic fare. Plant protein will not be popular with the middle class in rural areas, towns, small cities and hunters. Low income folks like their processed meats and soda.
Even low cost for plant based protein may not be enough to compete with traditional animal protein. I think the human taste for real meat is deep rooted, a psychological or evolutionary craving.
My prediction : Think New Coke.
If and when the time comes to hunt down and eat humans, I am going for the vegans first as I expect their meat will be the least contaminated as they will have concentrated fewer toxins.
I think they’d be bitter and tough. Inferior quality, like the meat you get from an angry old bull. Couch potatoes…now they might be more to your taste.
There’s not much meat on those bones at all, it would be like squab. In fact, squab would be better.
Vegans are sickly creatures, check out the many examples of malnourished souls on YouTube that only eat roots, leaves, effeminate soy products and the like.
Plant based diets turned us into fat ass losers. People that eat primarily meat don’t struggle with weight. Hunting animals also burned a lot more calories than hunting potatoes.
vegetarians will be corpse too one day
It is only utopian if you consider universal peasantry utopia.
If they demand I eat coolie food I am left to conclude that they intend to demand that I be a coolie.
If it is going to market they need a catchier name than long pig.
Of course, no one at all will make the link between people who don’t eat meat and obesity. Most of them eat a lot of processed oil (sauces), cheese and carbos. I am not speaking about serious vegans, but the gen pop variety who reads whatever on the web. Meat and veg protein are actually filling, and take more energy to digest than carbohydrates and sugar and processed veggie crap. Also, you need to spend at least 15 minutes putting a healthy protein, veg, fruit meal together.
I mean, who seriously thinks a muffin with fake blueberries or a gluten free “oatmeal” breakfast bar replaces ham and eggs with tomatoes, toast and a wedge of orange.
Answer: people who do nothing constructive for a living, don’t need a filling, nutritious breakfast that will last them till sundown (when honest workers call it a day), and don’t see why anybody else should get one.
Cattle eating grass IS plant based meat………
Why are the “organic” crowd pushing “fake” meat?
Besides, GOD says I can eat meat, Genesis 9:3,4.
Fish fresh from the petri dish to your table.

Another group of losers, demanding we “validate” their existence.
