The Human diet precedes woke experts and opportunists by millions of years, and while there were several variations of humans before the one we know won the “evolution” game, we all ate meat. Our ancestors survived significant and recurring geologic catastrophes. The sorts of things that would wipe out the vegan faction and most of the rest of them in the blink of an historical eye. And maybe that reckoning is already en route.
What of it?
Well, human bodies are made to eat meat. A protein diet absent additives, etc., especially processed salts and sugars, would put most dentists out of business. Carbs and sweets are what rot your teeth, not beef, lamb, goat, chicken, and fish (Ox, Mammoth, Bear, Tiger, you get the idea). The skulls of our ancestors consistently lack the sort of signs one might expect from a poor diet by modern standards.
There are some seeds, berries, and a few things we can manage in moderation. Grains and bread and things like rice can keep a lot of people alive, and for longer than your average seventy-thousand-year-old precursor humans, but regular consumption leads to diet-driven complications, including some fantasies about meat and plants.
Plants are for the animals we eat, to eat. At least that’s the current direction food is heading, and why not? The old food pyramid was upside down, ushering in the single greatest leap backward in human public health history, short of communism, but only maybe. America got obese and sick, which drove up the cost of health care, followed by Democrats determining it was a right, which makes me think it’s their fault from the get-go.
Blame government intervention, bad education, and systemic shift away from nutrition. They told food companies to fortify foods with things we could get from a good diet, but why? A working theory, conspiratorial even. Blame the Communists.
Lenin loved Democracy because Democratic Socialism was a necessary step toward socialism, which in turn was necessary for communism. Communism is notorious for bread lines, shortages, short-tempered storm-troopers, and a population trapped in a barely subsistent lifestyle. If you were planning for that future, you’d invert the food pyramid. Put breads, grains, rice at the top. Cheaper, easier, and you can keep people alive on it. If you need them dead, just cut off the food supply, and nature will finish the job for you. Also, a very communist thing to do.
In a world where meat, chicken, fish, and fruit are luxuries reserved for party leaders, it helps if the proletariat has been convinced that they still have access to the top of the food pyramid you turned upside down. Do what you can to keep the vodka cheap, and you can keep your workers alive enough, and at least content enough, to march before the armed guards, making sure you show up for your shift and keep your mouth shut.
The Globalists were winning on that end. They even argued that plant-based and lab-based fake meat were necessary and better because of global warming, even when their processes had a higher carbon footprint. The fake foods were another act in the same play, which also included trying to normalize eating bugs.
Tiny houses, small apartments, learning to live with less, you didn’t build that, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket, you don’t need to use air travel, walkability, the fifteen-minute city, digital currency, recycling plastic (which also has a huge carbon footprint and is mostly a cultural smokescreen).
It all fits a template for training future generations to have lower expectations for themselves and life in general. Food that triggers your happy hormones that is bad for you strikes me as just part of a plan that included government taking over health care so it could assist you in self-suiciding yourself should you become more of a burden than your welfare-bought vote was worth, which, in the once secured one-party state, is zero.
