It seems that every time we turn around there is another group of people who want to get rid of animal agriculture. If it isn’t the group wanting us to eat crickets it is the UN pushing the climate change agenda to get rid of 50% of animal agriculture by 2040! That’s right! As an Animal Agriculturalist for over 38 years, I find this new agenda even more threatening and as ignorant as some of the other ideologies that have been pushed forward. But, with the help of the United Nations, this might actually get some leverage. Of course we need an Executive Order from the President BUT this is part of the New Green Deal that hasn’t been sprung on us as of yet.
The Core Principles of 50 by 40 is to “decrease the production and consumption of animal protein while addressing the food crises in areas where people are plagued with hunger and nutritional deficiencies.” Do they understand that goat meat is a cheap source of protein as goats can live off of scrub plants? Do they know or understand that 80% of the world’s population eats goat meat and drinks the milk of goats? These are probably the cheapest sources of protein anyone can get, other than chickens and eggs. They value ‘social justice and believe in equity and want to control financial flows and induce behavioral changes to transform the food systems in the world.
One of the diagrams in their 2021 yearly report has a vison of changing norms and behaviors and balancing power by using development public and human health and climate change. They also want to change the corporate landscape. They keep mentioning a “JUST LIVESTOCK TRANSITION”. Can I ask what is just about pushing livestock producers out of business when we feed the world?
The 50By40 network is a list of who’s who in climate change and animal rights activism, including the HSUS (Humane Society of the US), which has had so many issues with their lies about where their money goes and a former head of the group being in trouble with the law. Greenpeace is a notoriously dangerous group of people who put others in danger to push their agenda.
I have yet to find a real doctor of nutrition in their sources. A psychologist perhaps but what do they know about nutrition? I took livestock nutrition classes for my Animal Science degree. Even I know that we need a certain amount of good cholesterol and animal protein in our human diets to have PROPER brain function. These people want us eating all plants and BUGS! Forgive me but humans have been eating animals since the beginning of time, so I don’t think animal agriculture is the issue, it is who will and won’t eat but they will tell us it is fair to all. That is EQUITY folks! There is no logic there is control and that is what this is ALL ABOUT! Population control. Do you think the really wealthy are going to give up meat? HELL NO! and I won’t either! If you want to be part of the 50% to give up animal protein, I suggest you volunteer cause this meat eating dinosaur is going to eat meat until her dying day! (Which may be sooner than later if the communists take over).
If you don’t believe me, here is 2 links that might wake you up. The first is the 50×40 website: https://50by40.org/
The second is the latest in the 30×30 attack on land owners and agriculture, the new Executive order 3410 that is part of the New Green Deal tied to 30×30. They want to repopulate buffalo and get rid of cattle! https://doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/elips/documents/so-3410.pdf
