Do not be so quick to write off beef. Please do a little digging into "regenerative farming" and the "carnivore" community. (Be sure to drill down past any anti-beef search results you'll probably see coming up first, because of course, Google is not your friend.) In any case, if you look hard enough, YouTube is actually a good place to find doctors, scientists, farmers, ranchers, nutritionists, reporters, analysts, authors, and regular people discussing the future of beef as relates to nutrition, the environment, carbon sequestration, and a host of other benefits available from beef and beef ranching, even if the beef comes from CAFO's. Get to know your local farmer's market and ranchers. Support your local beef supply and local butchers. Do not worry about grain and bananas. Those things might be nice to have, but they are not necessary for life. Meat is the answer, and the more people who get to know this, the stronger this movement will become, and the stronger we will become as a people. We have the right to defend ourselves against "predators", as you call them. Do not be a sheep! (Eating sheep is okay, though!)

Grass does not rely on fertilizer. Far from it. Grass relies on wandering hoofed animals stomping down seeds and pooping on it. This is Mother Nature's way of rejuvenating a prairie or other grassland. Do you think they fertilize the Serengeti? This is the way all farming should be done to store carbon and re-build soil. The Gates/Schwab model for solving climate change is no more than globalist corporate capture of something that is very simple--plant more plants and trees, eat local, simplify, drive less. It is industry that needs to change, not the ordinary consumer. Our current green technologies are not green and therefore do nothing for the climate--they just move the cost to some other sector. Farm animals actually are good for the earth, as are all animals.

My two current favorite books on climate change are Unsettled, and False Alarm. The former is by a physicist and data analyst who was a climate adviser to Obama, the latter is an economic analysis. I have also read a number of alarmist climate books by both scientists and science writers, and I have to say that Unsettled is the best book I have read on the subject. On regenerative agriculture there are a number of good books, but Sacred Cow is one of my favorites..

As an update.

A deadly bird flu is tearing through the United States, driving up poultry prices and ushering birds in zoos inside. As of April 7th more than 24 million domesticated birds have died of the disease or been killed in the U.S. due to this disease.

We got.../looks at watch....eight years to get our act together and enact The Great Pushback. You can bet your bottom dollar Klaus and Bill won't be eating bugs and will make sure they have farms for filet mignon.

I am afraid we need to get ahead of their timeline....the World Health Organization (WHO) wants to globalize medicine in the next 2 years or earlier...and the U.S. and EU and others are cooperating. See my column: The Global Kidnapping of American Medicine

The depths to which these representatives of the international Corporatocracy will stoop is really something. Even though the planetary food supply is threatened by this very few are aware. As comments here remind us, going local with farmers and ranchers is key. There is a huge deception in the misinformation of the "Climate crisis." Real forests, and grasslands - complete with grazers, predators and natural complete ecosystems are key to healing ourselves and the planet.

For me, if we can cut the reliance on meat and provide an option for insect consumption, which the Asians countries have been doing for centuries, I don't see that as a problem. I think there will always be a place for sustainable meats NOT large inhumane factory type operations. Here in Oregon, we love getting locally sourced, small farm grown, healthy, organic beef and chicken. IF we can reduce the huge demand, and eliminate the inhuman practices of large scale beef, pork and chicken factories, that would be optimal in my opinion. We treat these animals in ways we would never consider for our dogs and cats. All animals have feelings and should not be allowed to suffer the way we have grown numb to.

I agree we need to get rid of factory farms, but they are not even necessary. The whole central US is natural grassland, and both pigs and chickens are scavengers and need no special raising. That is why the latter are endemic on small subsistance plots all over the world. There is absolutely no need to cut our reliance on meat--people eat much less meat now than they did in the 19th c. It is also what we evolved to eat. Natural animal agriculture stores way more carbon than it produces. Please read the studies coming out of UC Davis--any corporate giant pushing for fake insect meat that is going to put money in some billionaire's pocket is just one more step toward corporate capture of the entire food system. Regenerative agriculture, and direct sales from farmer to consumer are the way to go.

In the article you say this: "The United Nations, parent of the World Economic Forum, architects of the Great Reset/New World Order (their words, not ours)". Does anybody have the source for this please? I'd LOVE to have a link to where this can be confirmed. TIA!

Amanda, thanks for the wakeup call. Here's a good link (from the story) describing the World Economic Forum connection to the not-so-great reset, https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/what-is-the-great-reset. The UN signed a 2019 partnership with the WEF, and the WEF has had UN observer status in the past, but the UN is not the parent of the WEF. We corrected immediately. --MC.

Thank you very much Michael. This is an excellent resource.

They literally wrote a book: The Great Reset followed up with The Great Narrative. All out in the open and easy to find on the Internet. It's years I've heard of it and remember listening and reading about NWO in the 90s which is all part of the TGR narrative.

You're not reading my question. My specific interest is the formal, official links between the WEF and the UN (and the article's statement that UN was the parent although Michael now says that has been corrected). We are all well aware by now of the Great Reset and Great Narrative but less so the formal connection to the UN.

Ah. My apologies. I did indeed misread. From what I gather, they're all inter-connected. They all support each other's aims and objectives. Whenever I go on their websites I always look at the partners. Generally, you'll see they're all linked. Everyone's linked to each other - formally or not. One massive problem I see is Gates being the main donator to the WHO effectively acting as his own country.

ive tried powdered crickets, its a bit nutty but also overwhelming if one were to eat it as a main source of protein. i could only manage to eat it sparingly with a very large amount of tuna, and tonnes of herbs and garlic to hide the taste.

i can imagine the local wildlife taking quite a hit if this sort of thing becomes the norm

I hear that deep fried CLAMS are popular among the yanks.
