This regulation affects common items such as bread, pasta, potato products, cheese, dairy products, and fruit and vegetable compotes. The decision was signed by Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission. However, this approval brings with it a wave of serious concerns among consumers and food safety advocates. Many people worry about the implications of adding insects to everyday foods. There are questions regarding the nutritional value of mealworms and their safety for human consumption. Additionally, the shift towards incorporating insects into the food supply raises ethical issues. Some consumers feel uncomfortable with the idea of insects being a part of their diet, while others question the long-term effects on health and the environment.

EU greenlights worms in food – signed by Ursula Von Der Leyen

This is not merely a suggestion; it is a formal regulation set by the European Union, with personal endorsement from Ursula von der Leyen. The strong push for “sustainable” protein sources is not about providing consumers with more options. It is primarily aimed at making insect consumption a standard practice while the upper class continues to enjoy luxury items like steak and caviar without a second thought. This raises a critical question: are everyday Europeans truly aware that insects might be included in their diets? Or is this merely another agenda being imposed upon the public, disguised in the guise of environmental progress? Many might not realise the implications of such an initiative. It is essential to scrutinise whether this decision prioritises corporate interests over genuine concerns for sustainability and health. The trend towards insect consumption is often touted as a solution to food security and climate change, but the real motivations behind it deserve closer examination. What is being sold as eco-friendly may simply be a way to shift norms and expectations, while the elite continue to enjoy their traditional meals. The way this regulation is presented raises ethical considerations about transparency and consumer rights. People deserve to know what is on their plates and should have the freedom to make informed choices about their diets rather than being nudged into compliance with hidden agendas.

EU 2025/89 does approve this particular worm food, technically known as UV-treated powder of whole Tenebrio molitor larvae (yellow mealworm). But, on point 13, it clarifies that it has to be labelled as “novel food”, as all other novel foods have to do. That is regulated by Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council, specifically Article 9, which provides a list of novel foods, and supposedly need to be labelled. This particular resolution for yellow worm was requested by a company named Nutri’Earth, and they want to use it on bread, rolls, cakes, pasta-based products, processwd potato products, cheese, cheese products, and fruit and vegetable compote. Beware that this worm meal is supposedly sold as a source of vitamin D, so they will market it as “natural vitamin D” or something. The key word they use is “Natural” food.  So beware of marketing that use that kind of language to redirect your thoughts to what we imagine as natural, and away from worms.

‘Eating Ze Bugs Is Vegan’

The Rise of “Ento-Veganism”

The concept of “ento-veganism” refers to individuals who identify as vegans but include insects in their diet. Traditionally, vegans avoid all animal products, so this new term challenges the conventional definition. So they next time you see a cockroach near your food, you are expected to say yum. This shift in terminology reflects a broader trend of redefining language to suit evolving needs, particularly in the context of sustainability. The philosophy behind ento-veganism is to minimize harm, although this excludes insects from the equation.

Good Food Magazine thinks eating mealworms can cure diabetes. Medical journals are publishing pieces “investigating the health benefits of alternative proteins” While Finland’s “Solein” company, which makes bacteria pancakes out of “air and sunlight”, has been “Generally Recognised as Safe” by the FDA – the next step, I suppose, would be being “generally recognised as food“. Australia’s “next superfood” is Hoppa, a bag of powdered crickets. Next month, Melbourne will be playing host to AltProtein24, a conference for the promotion of “alternative proteins”. Last week Singapore approved 16 different types of insects for human consumption. Singapore is also getting its own “Sustainable Protein Research Centre”, again funded by huge donations from Jeff Bezos.

The mainstream promotion of veganism has often focused more on reducing meat and dairy consumption rather than encouraging the consumption of vegetables. A hypothetical vegan living off home-grown vegetables in a remote area is not the scenario that certain influential groups, like the World Economic Forum (WEF), envision.

These groups are not advocating for a return to organic, self-sufficient lifestyles. Instead, they promote processed and artificial foods, such as genetically modified soy products and cricket flour, aiming to reduce self-sufficiency. While veganism is currently being promoted, there is a gradual redefinition of what it means to be vegan. For instance, lab-grown meat was recently classified as “vegan”. Who knows what next will be classified as veganism.

In 1991, just after the fall of Soviet communism, a globalist think-tank called the Club of Rome released a document titled ‘The First Global Revolution’, in which they announced “global warming” as the new pretext to seize power and control, under the guise of “saving the planet”—as detailed in a must-watch documentary titled ‘No Farmers, No Food: Will You Eat The Bugs?’

Right in line with a 2013 UN report calling for “endorsements from celebrities”, with the goal of convincing the general public to start eating insects—”to save the planet”—Nicole Kidman pretends to enjoy eating “a four course meal of bugs”. Quote from the UN’s 2013 report, ‘Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security’: “Among the strategies to be considered for developing effective communication strategies for governments, international agencies, the private sector and NGOs are: tailoring messages for different audiences; identifying incentives for using insects as food; using success stories and best practices/experiences to promote the consumption of insects; involving (local) media to raise awareness; creating a communication toolkit on the importance of and opportunities for insects as food and feed; and seeking endorsements from celebrities to improve the credibility of the sector.”

Former US government insider, Marc Morano, exposed how unelected globalists are using the “man-made climate change” lie as a pretext to deliberately collapse the food supply, so people will have no choice but to eat insects and lab-grown “meat”. “This is the intentional collapse of food, agriculture [and] energy… We are facing a situation where they’re creating intentional chaos and scarcity, to force us to have to buy insects [and] lab-grown meat.

If you control the food, you control the people. That’s ultimately the end goal. All around the world, unelected globalist totalitarians at the WEF and UN are waging war against farmers, in an attempt to seize control of the global food supply, under the banner of UN Agenda 2030—as detailed in a must-watch new documentary titled ‘No Farmers, No Food: Will You Eat The Bugs?’

C40 Cities Organization’s War Against Meat https://ln24international.com/2025/01/17/c40-cities-organizations-war-against-meat/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=c40-cities-organizations-war-against-meat https://ln24international.com/2025/01/17/c40-cities-organizations-war-against-meat/#respond Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:59:00 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=20786 This week, we have been delving into the C40 Cities Organization and their plan to restructure major cities around the world in smart cities and 15-minute cities. One of the things we have spoken about are of course the Planetary Health Diet. C40’s Planetary Health Diet is based on two repeatedly debunked suppositions. First, food production is a major source of man-made climate change, and second, meat and dairy in personal diets are unhealthy. The C40 Cities website states that the planetary health diet is comprised of balanced and nutritious food providing up to 2,500 calories a day for all adults, not to exceed 16kg of meat per person per year or ~300g per week, and 90kg of dairy per person per year or ~250g per day, and low in ultra-processed food. A planetary health plate should consist of approximately half a plate of vegetables and fruits; the other half should consist of primarily whole grains, plant protein sources, unsaturated plant oils, and (optionally) modest amounts of animal sources of protein. But cows have no meaningful contribution to climate change, isn’t it?

If adopted, C40 Cities citizens would still have the “freedom” to consume some meat and dairy products, but undoubtedly at exorbitant prices. C40 Cities’ governments would of course implement the dietary restrictions in city institutions, such as prisons and schools, despite the fact that meatless diets are not suitable, nutritious or healthy for children. This is already happening in New York City, where Mayor Eric Adams, exercising control over the citizenry, is limiting the amount of meat and dairy served in publicly controlled institutions.

Human Bioengineering to Curb Meat Consumption

C40 Cities has indicated that reducing emissions linked to consumption will need major changes in behaviour. However, it is less clear about how to achieve these changes. Many people resist cutting back on or eliminating meat and dairy from their diets. Only about 1% of the global population identifies as vegan. This is where bioengineering comes into play. Matthew Liao, a professor at New York University and a bioethicist, authored a paper titled “Tackling Climate Change Through Human Engineering.” In it, he suggests that those who struggle to stop eating red meat could be assisted through human engineering. He proposes that just as some individuals naturally cannot tolerate substances like milk or shellfish, it may be possible to create a mild intolerance to red meat artificially.

Liao is careful to state that “human engineering is intended to be a voluntary activity, possibly supported by incentives such as tax breaks or sponsored health care, rather than a coerced, mandatory activity.” “Voluntary” does not appear to be in the climate crusader vocabulary. Sounds more like Germany in the 1930s or China today.

Changing the Weather by Eating Bugs?

Meat offers essential nutrients that are easily absorbed by the human body, making it the top protein source available. It is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. No single plant can provide these complete proteins, so plant-based diets need careful planning to ensure adequate protein intake. Furthermore, such diets often lack iron, B vitamins, and vitamin D3. Interestingly, the global movement toward plant-based diets has acknowledged the nutritional problems of promoting these diets for large populations. Their solution is to substitute meat with insects, arguing that, despite widespread aversion, insects can deliver protein levels similar to meat while supposedly lowering environmental impacts.

This shift in terminology reflects a broader trend of redefining language to suit evolving needs, particularly in the context of sustainability. The philosophy behind ento-veganism is to minimize harm, although this excludes insects from the equation. London restaurant Yum Bug claims to be “the world’s first small-bread restaurant using insects.” Yum Bug, which produces edible insect products, opened its snack bar “with the goal of changing the perception of eating insects.”

UK Personal Carbon Allowance Roll Out

The UK recently completed a carbon credit system trial that sets a daily allowance for each person… on your ability to travel, purchase food, clothing, and even heat your home—all rationed under the guise of saving the planet.

The restaurant, Yum Bug, also serves dishes containing whole roasted crickets, but their speciality is transforming crickets into a meat substitute. Thomas and his Yum Bug co-founder Leo Taylor began their business selling insect recipe kits online during the pandemic. The feedback they got convinced them that their biggest hurdle was overcoming public resistance to the idea of eating whole insects. Along the way, they came to the conclusion that the cricket, rather than, say, the mealworm, would be their gateway bug.
