Artificial food production being ramped up to remove farms and grazing land from production

They are just mass farming and living the wrong way. Permaculture forest gardening is the future if you incorporate balance back into the garden. You will have food all year round and eden on earth will return.

betty mac said – “Since the world began, mankind has had to use meat and dairy to survive..that is the way the Creator made it…..he provided us with the food we needed.”

Well this is just too slippery to let slip past.

1. Yes our Creator provided us with the food that we need. Even in it’s grotesquely degenerate state, and worse still, even AFTER THE FLOOD, the material realm has always provided a super-abundance of whatever is needed to sustain life on this humble little globe (although creepy Bill seems determined to rectify this “problem”).

2. “Since the world began” is a potentially contentious assertion – humanity has hardly relied on dairy produce since time immemorial, any more than the dinosaurs died out from osteoporosis because they weren’t getting their daily quota of cheese and cows milk. And Biblical accounts say that from the very beginning, humans didn’t eat meat at all – although “science” will argue that the first humans crawled up out of the peat bog and immediately started hunting Brontosaurus burgers.

Truth is – the human creature is supremely adaptable, and if there ain’t enough fruit and veges to go around, and you happen to be a chicken – watch your back.

Lab grown cellular products are not limited to meat products: the industry also produces cotton, leather, crocodile skins, egg and even ‘air derived’ food proteins!. These leathers, etc, can even be grown to their required production size.

As the only publicly listed fund in this emerging industry sector, Agronomic’s company updates have always interested me. Although typically bland, the latest investor news release [Nov 2022] reveals the current status of this growing multi-product sector.

This is one of the best places to gauge what’s really happening in this particular industry, and learn about what the companies are actually doing. One of the biggest areas concerns the little discussed, but ‘central component’ of the fermentation industry, and also, the growing of ‘air sourced’ proteins, which is well underway in Finland.

These sciences are already operational, but as with any new industry contender, the main hurdle is to achieve a price parity with its established competitors. These margins are rapidly closing with each passing year. This is jokingly referred to as Moo’s Law: a play on Moore’s Law.

In the fund’s latest investor update, the reader can pick up some interesting snippets of insider information, where for example, the Aussie company All-G-Foods, mentions how insect proteins are not intended for human consumption, but are being specifically developed as protein foods for animals.

From the 29:00 mark, we get an interesting breakdown of what natural milk actually contains, which is basically 87% water, 9% fats & carbs, and only 3.3% proteins. This is an enjoyable, but costly and inefficient source of protein. It is also worth noting, that 80% of all antibiotics end up in farm animals, which then transfer to the consumer. This is not good for the human immune system.

The most interesting snippet occurs at the following 1:16 mark, where All-G-Foods embarrassingly admit, that their technology will eventually make a lot of Aussie and NZ dairy farms redundant. As the latter constitutes the largest industry sector on the NZ Stock Exchange, the NZ economy and tax revenue will soon be led and financed by these future market leaders.

As with Tyson in America, most of the current major food producers are incrementally downsizing and buying into this new sector, which they know, will soon replace their existing model. All the big players are systematically jumping ship.

For those with a deeper interest, the fund’s portfolio holdings are worth looking at, just to gauge what some of the leading companies are developing and why. In a few years time, Dodo and Mammoth steaks could soon be on the barbie. The science is already here.

Most farm animals are grown and slaughtered for a single part, then the rest is ground down for pet or plant food or whatever. With lab agriculture it is now possible to grow the individual parts, such as a shark fin, without killing the shark, cutting off its fin and dumping the living creature back into the ocean. Personally I’d be happy to see the Chinese factory ships rusting in dock.

When looking at food production realistically, animals are extremely inefficient food producing factories. It’s like using a full tank of gas to drive a kilometre. At the end of the day, cost will be the deciding factor, and the practical requirements of the poorer majority will decide the matter.

There is certainly plenty to research and discuss.

D Johnston said “Some religious groups/churches etc choose to believe he was pescatarian. ”

Well if nothing else, Cairns News occasionally proves to be a source of education. I had to check my dictionary on that one. Not that I accept it – sounds like wishful (woke?) thinking to me. Jesus was part of the Nazarene community, and their diet was arguably Mediterranean – BTW, also a very healthy culture.

D Johnstion also said – “Anyhooo ‘allegedly’ mankind was endowed with free will – so guess they can eat/ingest whatever they damn well please eh! Excepting crickets.That’s just plain ridiculous.”

The Bible (God) said that the fruit shall be our food, and the trees our medicine. Then he trashed the joint and told Noah he could eat a few bunnies and so forth – even Unicorns (!). They were on the Ark, so where did they go (nooooooo!)?

God even said to eat snakes and vermin and such – just to remind us who’s calling the shots. But he never mentioned crickets, cockroaches, mealworms or maggots – or fake meat or babies, for that matter. Those are creepy Bill’s ideas, because now he thinks he’s the one calling the shots.

My free will sees creepy Bill hanging by the neck from a rope – preferably after first being skinned alive and liberally salted.

Magda Palmer said “Why don’t humans start eating healthily and stop eating flesh and dairy?”

Well there’s a sentence brimming with presumption and assumptions.

FWIW, Jesus ate meat – the Passover Lamb at the very least, if we want to get specific. And he also cooked and ate fish. The Hunza – those extremely long-lived natives of the Hunza Valley in Pakistan – include meat as a minor ingredient in their diet. Not a staple, but a component of their EXTREMELY healthy lifestyle, nonetheless.

Also FWIW, according to various people who were there at the time (yes really), BEFORE THE FLOOD humans were forbidden to eat meat, but after the flood the world was less abundant than before and God let it be known to Noah that thenceforth humanity was permitted to eat meat.

Also also FWIW, the closest thing to human organs in the animal kingdom happens to be the Orangutan, not the Chimpanzee – and Orangutans are much closer to obligate FRUITARIANS than other primates, a diet on which they apparently thrive.

Having said all that – just remember, Jesus wasn’t vegan, and if anyone should know what’s proper eating under prevailing circumstances, it would be Him.

Just saying.

Vegan food is the latest Food Religion / theology. I have met many Vegans & they are Obsessed.
U obviously think anyone who is not a Vegan needs 2 b reformed to your way of thinking – I am NOT interested in the whole Vegan Theology- Bill Gates is currently making your menu of food that is NOT MEAT, NOT CHICKEN etc Vegans can go join his menus & good luck to you. Just the way u write is laced with alleged “HELPFUL Crap that is Unhelpful”. If I met u in person, I would not share a moment of my precious time with u since beyond your message, your “sanctimonious presentation” of trying to be helpful is in itself treacherous. Regardless of your subject matter, the Slimy Do Good approach is offensive & condescending.
Please go away & stop trying to inflict your opinions on others that is laced with the “slime of your goodness”.
I used to have some of those tendencies myself until I nearly made myself vomit over “slimy evangelistic goodness”.
U could recover from this character defect & leave your opinions to yourself like I now do. Your opinions are unhelpful period, just as my opinions are unhelpful 2 u so we can all get off our issues & mind our own business. I never asked anyone 2 write such crap nor do I wish 2 read it. May u wake up one day & stop trying to contaminate others as I would not wish to do so.. I am sure u love Bill Gates & his new menus – what a good Globalist you are
Peace
