A group of scientists is proposing\u2062 government-mandated \u2063cigarette-style caution labels on meat packages that could read, \u201cWarning: Eating meat \u200dcontributes to climate change.\u201d The anti-meat scientists, who falsely \u200dclaim meat consumption is detrimental to health and \u200cthe environment, began pushing for the labels \u200bafter \u200bconducting a study<\/a> at the UK\u2019s Durham University.<\/p>\n

The researchers took a group of 1,000 meat-eating adults and split them into four groups. Depending \u2063on \u2062what group a participant was in, they were shown\u200b photos of hot meals assigned climate, health,\u200b or pandemic warning \u2063labels or\u2063 no warning\u2062 label at all.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAll the labels deterred meat consumption, with 7-10\u200d percent of \u2062the participants choosing\u2063 a non-meat meal.\u201d \u200dHowever, when\u2064 participants were asked how anxiety-inducing and believable they found each of the labels, they reported the climate change warning \u200das the most credible.<\/p>\n

This prompted the scientists \u200dto advocate for \u200dgovernment-mandated climate change warning labels \u2064on meat. \u201cReaching net zero\u2062 is a priority for the nation and the planet,\u201d said<\/a> study \u2062author Jack Hughes. \u201cAs warning labels have already been shown to reduce smoking \u2063as well as \u200bdrinking \u2064of sugary drinks and\u2064 alcohol, using \u2063a warning\u200d label on meat-containing products \u2063could help us achieve this \u200bif\u2063 introduced as national policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Climate activists are ramping up their \u2063war on meat every day.\u2064 Efforts to stigmatize meat-based diets as socially\u2064 unacceptable and even \u2064unhealthy have become their latest strategy \u2062to curb \u200dconsumption. Former UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres suggested<\/a> in 2018 that society should\u200d ostracize meat carnivore\u2062 eaters\u200d in the same way it did\u2064 smokers. \u201cHow about restaurants in 10-15 years start treating carnivores the same way that smokers are treated,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cIf they want\u2062 to eat meat, they can do it outside the restaurant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some climate activists are embracing far more dystopian means to\u2064 eliminate the more \u2064than\u2062 two million-year \u2064 tradition<\/a> of meat as \u200da staple\u200b in the\u200c human diet.\u200b WEF-linked \u201cbioethicist\u201d Dr. Matthew\u200d Liao<\/a> proposed the idea<\/a> of scientists genetically \u200dmodifying humans to be allergic to meat. \u2062Liao \u2062also discussed shrinking\u200b the physical size of humans\u200d via eugenics or hormone injections so they consume fewer resources.<\/p>\n

Few know that the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, \u200ba \u2062globalist Michael Bloomberg-run climate organization made up of nearly \u200b100 cities across \u200cthe globe, including 14<\/a> American cities,\u200b has a goal of completely eradicating meat and dairy consumption by 2030. <\/p>\n

In\u200c June, the U.S.\u200d Agriculture Department approved<\/a> the consumption and \u2062sale of lab-grown meat in restaurants\u2063 and, eventually, supermarkets. Ironically, \u201cAnalysis finds\u2064 the carbon footprint \u2063of \u200dcultivated meat\u200b is likely\u2064 to be \u200dhigher than beef if current production methods are scaled\u200b up because they are still highly energy-intensive,\u201d reports<\/a> \u200cNew Scientist. <\/p>\n

Meat Is Good For You<\/h2>\n
By virtually every\u200c standard, protein from meat, which has been the basis of \u200bthe human diet since the inception of \u2064the species, is far superior to plant\u2064 protein. Dr.\u200c Benjamin Bikman,\u2063 author of the 2020 book Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at \u2062the Root of Most Chronic Disease\u2013and How to Fight It<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>explained why on \u201cThe\u2064 Ultimate Health Podcast.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy \u200bevery metric, every single animal protein is superior to every single plant protein,\u201d Bikman said. \u201cA person \u2063can eat a modest amount \u2064of animal protein and know that they are literally getting every single amino\u200c acid they could possibly need in a good ratio. If it\u2019s plant \u200bprotein,\u200c well, then you kind of have to guess, and\u2064 you hope you\u2019re getting \u200bit all.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/iframe> <\/p>\nPlant proteins, Bikman added, \u201care enriched with things called \u2018anti-nutrients,\u2019\u201d which\u200b are \u201cmolecules\u200b that \u200cwill inhibit the intestines\u2019 ability to digest the protein.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cSo \u200cthat\u2019s kind of adding insult \u2064to injury,\u201d Bikman explained, \u201cbecause when someone\u2019s trying to get all their protein from plant \u2062proteins, not only are they getting an inferior source of amino acids and an inferior profile of \u2062amino acids, they\u2019re not even digesting the amino acids in the proteins they think they\u2019re getting.\u201d<\/p>\nWhile academic researchers on far-left campuses from Durham to <a href=\"https:\/\/unsettledscience.substack.com\/p\/harvard-has-been-anti-meat-for-30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harvard<\/a> lead the assault on meat, \u200bthe evidence to suggest meat-based diets\u200d are detrimental to human health fails to stand close scrutiny.

The landmark Seven Countries study, for example, the legacy project of American Physiologist\u200b Ancel Keys \u2062to support\u200c a low-fat diet, omitted data from 15 countries that\u200b would have\u2063 contradicted\u200c any\u2063 correlation between\u200b dietary\u2063 fat and heart\u200d disease. \u2062 <\/p>\nFurther,\u2064 a paper <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37073320\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published<\/a> by the National Library of \u2064Medicine in April\u2064 debunked the conventional narrative that red\u2062 meat \u200dconsumption is responsible for the proliferation\u200b of non-communicable diseases. Researchers assessed mean meat intake in\u200c different regions of the world and found \u200dthat while some academics claim red meat is hazardous to human health, only slight increases in disease risk were reported in\u2063 areas\u200b where meat consumption\u2062 was well above the global average. Even then, \u201cthere is little to no effect on absolute risk,\u201d they wrote,\u200d \u201cand \u200bthe certainty of evidence remains low to very \u2062low \u2063based on\u200d the best available \u200bsummary evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cRegrettably, the scientific discussion on the potential associations between\u2063 meat\u2062 and noncommunicable diseases is often\u200c no longer a transparent assessment of the evidence, but is affected \u200bby\u2063 agendas, including vested interests and ideologies,\u201d they concluded.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meat Is Good For The Planet<\/h2>\nIf there\u2019s any confusion about\u200b environmentalists being on the side of big food, a quick glance at this year\u2019s list of \u201c100 Best Corporate Citizens\u201d\u2064 based on Environmental,\u200b Social, \u2062and Governance\u200b Standards (ESG) will remove\u200c any doubt.<\/p>\nThe list ranks 1,000 of the largest U.S. public companies every \u2063year on\u2064 their compliance and transparency efforts to \u201calign \u200bwith \u2064the Sustainable Development Goals and rebuild an equitable economy post-pandemic.\u201d The nation\u2019s largest food corporations routinely rank highly on the list \u200cdespite their use of endocrine-disrupting pesticides\u200b that are \u200cterrible for the \u200cenvironment.<\/p>\nThis year\u2019s list celebrated seven major food \u2062processors, including\u2062 PepsiCo, which was 6th, Hershey at 10, \u2064Mondelez \u2064at 45, Kellogg at 40, and General Mills at 49.
