Boy, the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has been quite the spectacle so far. No shortage of creepy elites saying the quiet parts out loud.
And speaking of creepy elites saying the quiet part out loud, did you happen to catch Siemens and Maersk Chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe at the WEF today? He dropped a little bomb today when it was his turn to talk.
This particular little bomb was supposedly about fighting climate change, but listen to it and see if it doesn’t sound more like a thinly veiled desire to exercise further control over the great unwashed masses:
.@Siemens Chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe at #wef23: "If a billion people stop eating meat, it will have a big impact … I predict we will have proteins that don't come from meat in the future, they will probably taste even better … They will be zero carbon and much healthier" pic.twitter.com/wno0Ar49hf

Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for sustainability and responsibility with regard to food. Where I draw the line is when someone else is telling me what I should and should not be eating. Particularly when that someone else is telling me that I have to stop eating certain foods in order to offset carbon emissions from their flights to the World Economic Forum. That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.
Eat the bugs. Live in the pods. Shut up. https://t.co/IL1BFgS4fE

If Jim et al. want to eat the bugs and live in the pods, I literally have no problem with that. In fact, I encourage it. Although if I’m being honest, I have my doubts that Jim et al. would actually eat the bugs and live in the pods. I just get the feeling that bugs and pods are what they have in mind for us plebs; they’ll get to eat whatever they want and live wherever they want and travel wherever they want and emit as much carbon as they want. That’s usually how this sort of thing works.
This is so weird because DNC Media assured me absolutely no one at the WEF is actually talking about making people eat bugs, it's all just a conspiracy theory or something https://t.co/GJK5Rc8WOX

It’s not happening. And, also, it’s good that it’s happening. https://t.co/dhInc7xfl9

Not just good, but downright delectable.
Damm, if they're that good, there'll probably be a lot of demand for it, so no need to force it on people…

Hmmm … that’s a really good point. A quality product should sell itself without having to be forced on anyone. If the bugs are that tasty, the people will eat them.
Otherwise, there are reasons that so many people on this planet want to eat meat.
No if a billion people stopped eating meat they would be unhealthy, sick and very low energy. That would be the “big impact.”

Hey, unhealthy, sick, and very low-energy people can’t fight back. Elites like the sound of that. Although if Jim keeps cutting vital nutrition out of his diet, he might be joining the unhealthy, sick, and very low-energy people one of these days:
No they won't taste better and he doesn't look good. Perhaps some meat would give him the necessary vitamins to have better color….and no we won't stop eating meat.

It’s true: Jim’s looking a little wan. Somebody get that man a hamburger.
Me, I’ll take a steak.
