Say Goodbye to Meat, Cheese and Eggs and Hello to Soylent Green
You’ve heard it all before, Massive population growth, limited resources, and unsustainable way of life.
See your future now, before it’s news.
Changing what and how we eat? Several Venture Capital-backed startups are trying to engineer dietary alternatives. So what is Venture Capital? Venture capital (VC) is financial capital provided to early-stage, high-potential, high risk, growth start up companies. The venture capital fund makes money by owning equity in the companies it invests in, which usually have a novel technology or business model in high technology industries, such as biotechnology, IT and software.
In my previous article What in the world are they trying to feed us, I only briefly touched on the subject.

But what is the real motive behind all this? Our health? Saving the environment? Or just making tons of money off of us getting us to eat more man made GMO food?

Their argument; Plant-based alternatives to eggs, poultry and other meat could be good for the environment because it could reduce consumption of meat, which requires large amounts of land, water and crops to produce, backers say. Funded by prominent Silicon Valley investors and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Hampton Creek Foods seeks to disrupt a global egg industry that backers say wastes energy, pollutes the environment, causes disease outbreaks and confines chickens to tiny spaces.

It could also benefit people’s health, especially in heavy meat-eating countries like the U.S., and reduce outbreaks of diseases such as avian flu, they say.
The repsones from the comunity; The American Egg Board, which represents U.S. producers, said eggs can’t be replaced. “Our customers have said they’re not interested in egg substitutes. They want real, natural eggs with their familiar ingredients,” Mitch Kanter, executive director of the board-funded Egg Nutrition Center, said in a statement.

Thier claims In its food lab, biochemists grind up beans and peer through microscopes to study their molecular structure, looking for plants that can fulfill the culinary functions of eggs. So far, the company has analyzed some 1,500 types of plants from more than 60 countries. The research has resulted in 11 “hits,” said Josh Tetrick, the company’s CEO. “Our approach is to use plants that are much more sustainable – less greenhouse gas emissions, less water, no animal involved and a whole lot more affordable – to create a better food system,” said the former linebacker on West Virginia University’s football team. The company’s first product – the mayonnaise – is sold for roughly the same price as the traditional variety. It soon hopes to start selling cookie dough and a batter that scrambles like eggs when fried in a pan. “The egg is a miracle, so one of the hardest parts of replacing it is all the functions that it can do,” said Chris Jones, the company’s culinary director of innovations and a former contestant on Bravo TV’s Top Chef. While Hampton Creek takes aim at the egg, another Gates-backed company is targeting the chicken itself.

Other companies are trying to replace meat; While Hampton Creek takes aim at the egg, another Gates-backed company is targeting the chicken itself. Beyond Meat, located in Southern California, sells “chicken-free strips,” which have the taste and stringy texture of poultry but are made from plant protein. It is sold at Whole Foods and natural food stores. It’s also working on a product that mimics beef.
Inside its test kitchen in El Segundo, Caitlin Grady, the company’s culinary ambassador, stir-fried the strips with broccoli, onion, peppers and sesame oil. “I cooked it just like a regular stir-fry, but I don’t have to worry about the meat being raw,” Grady said. The company is also funded by Obvious Corp., a startup incubator founded by Twitter’s founders, and Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley’s premier venture capital firms. “It can fit in a vegan’s diet. It can fit in a carnivore’s diet,” said Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown. “We’re trying to appeal to the full range of consumers that are making some shift toward healthier protein.” Read more: Food-Tech Start-ups Aim to Replace Eggs and Chicken.

Back in March of 2012, Mark Bittman offered the strips some faint praise: The thick strands … didn’t precisely resemble chicken strips, and when I tasted them unadulterated I found it bland, unexciting and not very chicken-like. But not offensive, either, and as an ingredient we’d all be hard-pressed to distinguish it from most of the animal-based models. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/16/beyond-meats-chicken-strips_n_3094296.html
So what’s the driving force behind changing the foods we eat? AGENDA 21?
This is a 40-chapter document that lays out a global plan to change the way we eat, live, learn and communicate because we need to “save the earth.” It was created by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable Development, as a sustainability agenda which some experts say is “an amalgamation of socialism and extreme environmentalism brushed with anti-American, anti-capitalist overtones.” The purpose behind Agenda 21 was described by Maurice Strong, who served as Secretary-general of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro said, “…[C]urrent lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat consumption and large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable. A shift is necessary which will require a vast strengthening of the multilateral system, including the United Nations.” In other words, writes Joyce Morrison of Concerned Women for America in Missouri, this global plan “is for us to live on the level of third world nations. That means no box mixes or microwave meals, limited use of fuel of any kind, no air-conditioning and very little meat.” –

We may not be able to stop their Agenda but on the bright side becoming aware of fake foods now, by reading labels more carefully, and purchasing only foods made with real ingredients rather then some sort of plant goo, we might stall or perhaps even stop the agenda changes that are coming.
Know what your eating it is your best defense.
But first “Logan’s run” will be implemented & the survivors will be eating Soylent Green!
Your correct, but out of sequence, it would have to come in chronological sequence, to make perfect sense, first… Soylent green, …then Logan’s Run …when no one over 30 is allowed to live and the population has already been reduced after the great nuclear holocaust
