WEF Issues Ominous Warning Over Coming Food Crisis, Recommends ‘More Sustainable Diets’

Via ZeroHedge

Did you see the ratio Bloomberg just earned for a tweet which recommends getting used to lentils instead of meat, switching to public transportation, and avoiding buying things in bulk?

The piece, written by economist Teresa Ghilarducci, recommends that families earning under $300,000 per year consider switching to public transportation, embracing a veggie diet, and “rethink those costly pet medical needs.”

The intellectual heavyweight oddly retweeted someone slamming her advice.

Which is being parodied throughout social media…

Unsurprisingly, Ghilarducci and the far-left “New School for Social Research” she works for is affiliated with the World Economic Forum (WEF) – which, in addition to bragging about having ‘infiltrated‘ various world governments – infamously suggested that people get used to eating bugs due to inevitable food shortages, and

Yes, this WEF:

Which brings us to the WEF’s latest – warning of an impending food crisis kicked off by the war in Ukraine.

Key points:

  • More people around the world will go hungry as a result of the pandemic, high fuel prices and the conflict in Ukraine.
  • Russia and Ukraine are also major producers and suppliers of fertilizers and their raw materials.
  • Existing logistical issues with moving grain and food are likely to worsen.
  • Disruptions will put further pressure on this year’s harvest and lead to higher food prices.
  • Even before the pandemic, the FAO estimated that 690 million people or 9% of the world’s population, were facing food insecurity.

In short, the Ukraine war is accelerating the existing problem of inflation and food shortages, so hold on to your hats and consider a ‘more sustainable diet’ because things are about to get much, much worse.

We are currently witnessing the beginning of a global food crisis, driven by the knock-on effects of a pandemic and more recently the rise in fuel prices and the conflict in Ukraine. There were already clear logistical issues with moving grain and food around the globe, which will now be considerably worse as a result of the war. But a more subtle relationship sits with the link to the nutrients needed to drive high crop yields and quality worldwide.

In this context, calling for an immediate government intervention to the market is therefore the natural thing to do. Yet government budgets are severely stretched after COVID, leaving little room for direct monetary support and contribution. In view of the recent promises to remove all Russian oil and gas from our imports, there will be some tough decisions ahead for governments, farmers and consumers alike.

In the medium term, it highlights the need to transform our food system, using more green energy. We should also be encouraging more sustainable diets, which contain fewer grain fed animal products; and regenerative agricultural practices, which improve soil health and the efficiency of nutrient use by the crop. -WEF

So… eat the bugs and be happy?

Does this cure Uncle Schlomo induced shrunken brain?

Brain changes after COVID revealed by imaging
Imaging before and after infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus reveals substantial changes in the brain after infection. The work sets an example for the high standards required in large longitudinal neuroimaging studies.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00503-x

Comparing brain volume before and after individuals were exposed to SARS-CoV-2, this study documents significant cortical gray matter loss, equivalent to nearly 10 years of aging. Gweanaelle Douaud, the study’s first author and Professor at the University of Oxford, says that infected individuals display structural “differences over time above and beyond any potential baseline differences.” Most strikingly, individuals that experienced no or only mild symptoms with Covid-19 displayed specifically significant changes, but cortical damage seems to occur regardless of disease severity, age, sex, or vaccination status. It may be years before the long-term consequences of these structural differences are fully understood.

The number of Pet Wellness and Urgent Care Facilities popping up all over the city is crazy! (No kidding….it seems the Duane Reades and CVS’s are closing and the Pet Urgent Care facilities are proliferating!) The dog poop is wet and slimy. You can see poop schmear marks along the sidewalks because the owners cannot pick up solid turd. These Pets have taken on the neuroses and bad juju of their owners. Plus, they are probably being fed crap. I ache for these poor animals. They are being loved (smothered)…to death.

CVSs are closing because of rampant shoplifting which DA’s will not prosecute. Pet centers are proliferating because we are still a mostly free market. As to the lazy pet owners who don’t pick up after their dogs, I have no solution, as they are the overwhelming majority of dog walkers. Easily spotted, they have nothing but a leash and phone in their hands. I’ve considered using my sprinkler remote to “water” them as they pass, but so far I haven’t done that. Still considering it, though.

A meat-free world might be possible by 2035, says Impossible Foods founder

Founded in 2011, Impossible Foods believes that changing the dietary habits of individuals can have a greater impact on arresting climate change than switching to an electric vehicle or putting up solar panels on the roof.

While doing a bucket-list trip (the Amazon) five years ago, I came across a dockside stand selling grilled jumbo grubs: bug-kebabs. Don’t know how to post photos, so I can’t show them. Much to the disgust of some female travelers (“Eeew”), I decided to try ’em out. They were pretty tasty, truth told. Heavily salted, some hot sauce… Try ’em, you just might like ’em.

The only insects that I would readily consider eating are roasted grasshoppers. According to reports that I have read, grasshoppers have an excellent nutritional profile. They can provide most of the essential amino acids and essential fats required to maintain good human health.

Grubs and grasshoppers can eat, digest, and convert leaves, grass, and wood into fats, carbs, and protein (amino acids) that we can digest and live on. Cattle, sheep, and other domestic animals that we kill and eat now also convert vegetation we cannot digest into meat that we can digest.

I draw the line at crickets. They were very numerous when I lived in Texas and Oklahoma. They are nasty looking when alive, and puke inducing is a mild description of their stench when they crawl up into walls to die and start to putrefy.

People making 300K or more represent 1% of the overall population. So what she is saying is for the other 99% of us, get used to living like a starving peasants, because that is what Biden and the globalists have in store for you.
The really ironic thing is, you could prevent it, but that would require getting off your fat ass and actually doing something, and that just is not going to happen because the average American is to brainwashed and cowardly to even stand up for their own best interests…..

No, that is a big fat lie. We were in an impending food crisis long before the Ruskies invaded the Ukies. This just made things worse.

Between the COVid lockdowns, which caused the supply chain crisis, and the little ice age we are going into we were going to have big food problems. So shut up your lying piehole, bitch.

Then, as if the lying isn’t bad enough, she ends with this sarcastic note.

Nobody said this would be fun

The sad thing is because food has become so expensive, it is not possible for many lower income people at this point to adequately prepare themselves for what is coming. Many are struggling just to survive now, and cannot buy extra to stockpile.
Some people mistakenly think they still have plenty of time, or that the situation is not that bad. My advice is to research the subject thoroughly, starting with agricultural industry publications.

Don’t care.

2) Russia and Ukraine are also major producers and suppliers of fertilizers and their raw materials.

So what.

3) Existing logistical issues with moving grain and food are likely to worsen.

Don’t care, bad decisions have consequences.

4) Disruptions will put further pressure on this year’s harvest and lead to higher food prices.

Don’t care, bad decisions have consequences, learn from mistakes.

5) Even before the pandemic, the FAO estimated that 690 million people or 9% of the world’s population, were facing food insecurity.

Don’t care, bad decisions have consequences, learn from mistakes, and feeding Africans and Bangladeshis and such has shown to be a very bad decision, as it creates untold millions of new eaters that end up starving, too.

The world has fucked the goat, and the penalty for that is coming due.
