Alternative protein sources encompass everything from algae to re-engineered plant-based legumes and a variety of meat substitutes. Think of lab-grown meat, plant-based meat, single-cell proteins from yeast or algae, and edible insects.
Edible insects include cricket flour.
Cricket flour (or cricket powder) is a protein-rich powder made from crickets, using various processes.[1][2] Cricket flour differs from true flours made from grains by being composed mainly of protein rather than starches and dietary fiber. —Wikipedia
What does the law of God say about this?
Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. (Leviticus 11:22)
The Bible says it’s ok to eat crickets and grasshoppers. So, we shouldn’t judge anyone who chooses this diet. Alternative proteins are here because the world is worried about climate change.
The climate crisis is here. Forests are burning. Oceans are rising. Climate change is no longer a future threat. You are living in it now, as you read this. The main problem is carbon. —Jane Goodall Institute Canada
Europe is warming more than twice the global average, and two-thirds of the continent, including Italy, has been hit by the worst drought in at least 500 years—one made three to four times more likely by global warming, according to climate scientists.
The truth is that the earth is dying. It’s wearing out like an old t-shirt. When we wear our favorite t-shirt for a long time, it fades, gets thin, and develops holes. We still love the old t-shirt, but can we make it new again? Can we sew a patch on it?
No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result. (Mark 2:21)
We can’t sew a new patch on old cloth, or the hole will get worse. But this is what the world is trying to do. No matter what good we try to do to help the earth, nothing is going to stop the process of climate change. In fact, we may do more harm than good, such as endangering our food supply. We have to accept the fact that the climate is changing and it’s going to get worse from here. We can’t make the t-shirt new again, even though we still love it. Let’s read an excerpt from the latest NOAA report in regard to the worsening of the climate:
In a report released on Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that climate change continued to worsen in 2021, setting new records for greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere that helped push sea levels and ocean heat content to record highs. https://www.yahoo.com/news/noaa-greenhouse-gas-concentrations-global-sea-levels-and-ocean-heat-hit-record-highs-in-2021-212944097.html
The World Economic Forum has a mission for the planet. They’re trying to remodel the food system because of climate change from carbon emissions. They want to do away with the long-standing processes of animal slaughtering and meat packing. This remodeling is through a “protein transformation”:
The protein transformation is one part of a broader remodeling of the food system. As value pools form around new technologies and processes that help address such critical issues as taste, health, and cost, the need for some long-standing processes, such as animal slaughtering and meat packing, will decline. Every stakeholder along the value chain is likely to feel the impact of the transformation, and many will find big opportunities in contributing to building a sustainable food system.
Alternative proteins include plant, fermented, and animal/cell-based protein.
Italy is on the road to being the first country to ban cultivated meat, which met with hostility from climate activists. Meloni’s gastro-nationalist sop may appeal to the agricultural vote in this food-obsessed country, but if passed into law, it could end up exacerbating the bigger threat to Italy’s food system: https://news.yahoo.com/italy-wants-first-country-ban-181801178.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall. As climate change gets worse, climate ‘activists’ will evolve into climate ‘terrorists’.
The young will rise against the old, and the base against the honorable.
As the earth continues to die, climate activists will start getting more extreme. Many people, like some celebrities, are already being shamed and labeled with the phrase climate criminals.
Climate change activists will be instrumental in putting our food sources in jeopardy. In April 2022, the Wildlife Fishing Conservancy, a Washington state nonprofit conservation organization, filed a preliminary injunction to halt the fishery “until NOAA proves the harvest wouldn’t starve endangered southern resident killer whales.” The WFC was trying to keep the summer chinook season from opening in order to protect killer whales from starving, like killer whales need the help of the WFC. However, in March 2023, salmon fishing was banned because of drought: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-cancels-salmon-fishing-season-drought/
People in the world also blame cattle and the agricultural industry for climate change, which will put another food source in jeopardy. Let’s listen to the world: Cattle play a colossal role in climate change: As the single largest agricultural source of methane, a potent planet-warming gas, the world’s 940 million bovines spew nearly 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions — much of it through belches and droppings.
Climate activists have dumped out milk in grocery stores and defaced works of art in museums in order to bring attention to climate change and the burning of fossil fuels. In the following image, climate activists threw soup on a famous Van Gogh painting and glued their hands to the wall:
Common people are becoming activists without having a formal climate education, saying things like, we need to stop sitting around and become “doists”: The time has come where we need to become not just activists, but doists. https://news.yahoo.com/voices-climate-change-activism-no-104559613.html. Benjamin Cook, a climate scientist for NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said that climate “doists” don’t know what they’re talking about. Cook went on to say that at the end of the day, the only thing that can adequately explain the degree of warming that we’ve seen for the last 150 years is human greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels.
Some scientists say that human activity is ultimately to be blamed for climate change, because we’re responsible for the agricultural industry and the burning of fossil fuels. Read the three following stories:
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and increased amounts cause heating. In this case, the human increment is not small. https://www.yahoo.com/news/climate-change-relentless-seemingly-small-121337894.html
a damning report was released by the U.N. on Monday. The landmark study by climate researchers warned of the “unprecedented” ways human activity is changing the Earth’s climate. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/wildfires-rage-across-the-world-as-un-releases-damning-climate-change-report/ar-AAN9WSi
“How hot it gets is still up to us.” -Dr. Kim Cobb, Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech University. https://www.yahoo.com/news/climate-change-do-individual-actions-really-matter-184206858.html
How hot it gets is not up to us. Bill Gates insinuated that we can only get climate change under control by controlling the people, because they’re not going to change their lifestyle:
Speaking on Thursday’s episode of Bloomberg’s “Zero” podcast, Gates said expectations that people were going to “utterly change their lifestyle because of concerns about climate” were “unrealistic.”
“You can have a cultural revolution where you’re trying to throw everything up, you can create a North Korean-type situation where the state’s in control,” he said. “Other than immense central authority to have people just obey, I think the collective action problem is just completely not solvable.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/bill-gates-says-telling-people-to-stop-eating-meat-and-buying-houses-will-never-solve-climate-change/ar-AA12r20o?cvid=221b858f4371411496597a5929c76095
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the world is racing toward a climate change disaster. “Let’s face facts. The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions. It’s fossil fuels — period.” https://news.yahoo.com/un-chief-slams-pitiful-world-182622699.html
Whoever or whatever has caused climate change doesn’t really matter at this point. The world is coming to an end, but God’s salvation lasts forever:
Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die likewise. But my salvation will last forever, and my righteousness will never fail. (Isaiah 51:5)
Let’s continue with the World Economic Forum in regard to alternative proteins:
Our latest research shows that people around the world are buying into alternative proteins—and are very happy with what they find. The market share projections that we made in our first Food for Thought report in 2021 are bearing out: current forecast models indicate that alternative proteins will represent 11% of all protein consumption by 2035, and with some help from technology, investors, and regulators, alternative proteins could command 22% of the global market over this time frame.
This is good news for everyone involved in the global effort to combat climate change. The food system accounts for 26% of current global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Animal agriculture, the largest GHG emitter within the food system, is responsible for 15% of global emissions, roughly matching the emissions from the transportation sector. If we remain on track for an 11% share for alternative proteins by 2035, we will see a reduction of 0.85 gigaton of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) worldwide by 2030—equal to decarbonizing 95% of the aviation industry. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/protein-diet-vegan-climate-food-system-decarbonization/
It’s obvious WEF wants to move away from animal agriculture, and they’re not hiding it. Animal cruelty is always cited, but slaughtering livestock for food is not cruelty. We should always be trying to make the agricultural industry as humane as possible.
Climate activists who are instrumental in the food industry say that climate change is a poor argument against meat substitutes. They say the real problem is getting the meat substitutes to taste like real beef. Flavor scientists are involved in getting the taste right. Beef blood is even being copied.
This fake blood is called soy leghemoglobin: https://www.gmoscience.org/2019/06/25/rat-feeding-studies-suggest-the-impossible-burger-may-not-be-safe-to-eat/. It’s already been approved by the FDA. Impossible Foods asked the American FDA for their approval to use soy leghemoglobin in foods as an analog of meat-derived hemoglobin. People shouldn’t be judged if they can’t eat meat for medical reasons or if they choose not to. Nothing should be forced upon us.
Climate activists and WEF firmly believe the future holds no place for traditional beef. They believe future generations will look back and wonder why we ever ate meat. Of course, WEF, globalists, world governments, and climate change activists blame human activity and the agriculture industry for climate change.
By some estimates, the agriculture industry produces one-third of the world’s greenhouse gases linked to human activity, is a primary driver of deforestation and uses as much as 70% of the world’s fresh water supply. https://www.yahoo.com/news/plant-based-food-companies-face-142424581.html
Let’s look at an excerpt from a recent report from NOAA:
“The major atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations — carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — each rose once again to new record highs during 2021,” the report states.
Scientists link greenhouse gases to human activity and the agricultural industry. Part of the plan is to force farmers to use less fertilizer and decrease their livestock in an effort to reduce animal emissions of nitrogen oxides and ammonia. Globalists want to eliminate the consumption of meat and replace it with cultivated meat:
In addition to mitigating animal slaughter, cultivated meat could also help slow climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/06/health/lab-grown-meat-pros-cons-life-itself-wellness-scn/index.html
Let’s read this quote from Fake Steak — Future-Proof Food, from a DW Documentary:
Animal husbandry is responsible for 12 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. 80 percent of all fertile land is used for raising animals and growing their feed. To make room for more, we cut down rainforests and spray pesticides. Meat production is the biggest threat to biodiversity. Yet, animal foods provide only 18 percent of the calories we consume.
Cellular agriculture is also being looked at as a serious option for climate change. Research into immortal cell lines continues to produce meat and other animal products via tissue engineering and synthetic biology. They say they want to create meat, thus not harming animals. In reality, they want to get rid of livestock because they’re being blamed for climate change. The following excerpt is from October 2022: New Zealand’s government on Tuesday proposed taxing farm animals’ greenhouse gas emissions as part of its efforts to reduce the pollution that is causing climate change. The tax would be the world’s first on animal emissions, including those from burps and urination, which contribute to rising global temperatures. https://news.yahoo.com/new-zealand-proposes-cow-burp-tax-to-fight-climate-change-185050480.html
Other options are on the table to limit the amount of methane belched by cows, such as introducing seaweed in the cow’s diet: https://www.yahoo.com/news/feeding-cows-few-ounces-seaweed-180303759.html. Currently, “climate-friendly” cows are being bred to belch less methane: The arrival of commercially available genetics to produce dairy cattle that emit less methane could help reduce one of the biggest sources of the potent greenhouse gas, scientists and cattle industry experts say. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/climate-friendly-cows-bred-belch-less-methane-2023-08-08/
Methane from enteric fermentation seems to be the main problem for climate change activists and WEF. They say that if we reduce the consumption of beef, we free up land that’s used to grow feed and use it to grow food for humans. But even if we stopped eating beef, what do we do with all the cows? Aren’t they still belching methane? They stop short of saying that we should kill all livestock, but it’s insinuated. Let’s go to India:
Let the WEF tell India to kill their 308 million sacred cows.
In some countries, such as the Netherlands, governments are intervening in grain production by implementing an unsustainable level of restrictions. These restrictions have made it almost impossible for farmers to continue farming. https://www.bbntimes.com/global-economy/food-shortages-may-come-from-excessive-intervention. The World Economic Forum claims to support farmers.
World leaders are saying we have to stop climate change, or it will stop us. Scientists say human activity is 100 percent to blame for climate change because we run the agriculture industry. Ultimately, their goal is to kill all cattle on earth to reduce emissions. As climate change gets worse and things get desperate, globalists, climate activists, and world leaders might say, “Because the climate is getting worse from carbon emissions, we have to start reducing emissions now or we’ll all die. We have to stop eating meat, kill all the cattle so they’ll stop belching unnatural methane, and we have to get the human population down to five hundred million to be in perpetual balance with nature. Let’s start the depopulation process by registering those troublesome Christians in a database and put them in internment camps. They’re always telling us how to live our lives and follow Jesus or we’re going to hell. Those Christians are insane. They have to go first.”
The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son. (Revelation 21:7)
As it went for the Jews in Hitler’s holocaust, so it will go for Christians during the world reign of the antichrist in his New World Order. At some point during this persecution, Jesus Christ will appear and gather the faithful, those of us who are alive who are left, and then God’s wrath will begin on the world.
In this life, human beings are either a child of God or a child of the devil. There is no ‘me’. If a person says, “I don’t follow anyone, I’m a good person; I’m not doing anything wrong.” Then, they’re a child of the devil. Jesus says, “If you’re not with me, you’re against me.” This might sound harsh, but why wouldn’t we be with the King of the universe who promises eternal life? God made it easy for us to be saved. The only way to avoid the terrible fate of eternal destruction is through Jesus Christ, who came and died on the cross to forgive our sins. If we don’t accept God’s perfect sacrifice, we’ll have to atone for our own sins in hell, which is a debt we can never repay. In these end times, let’s accept God’s promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let’s not put our hope in this dying world, but in the saving grace of God our savior.
Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save. (Psalm 146:3)
