Fake meat is all about controlling the food supply

Fake meat is all about controlling the food supply

Dr. Joseph Mercola spoke with Tea Time, a programme by Children’s Health Defense, about the dangers of fake meat products to help raise awareness about this latest assault on human health.

Fake food – including lab-grown meat, animal-free dairy and plant-based meat – is the globalists’ latest attempt to control the food supply.

The globalists are trying to replace animal husbandry with lab-grown meat, which will allow private companies to effectively control the human population.

The idea that animals must be removed from agriculture to save the planet is flawed; animals are an integral, and necessary, part of the restorative process.

Fake meat is an ultra-processed mixture of chemicals, genetically engineered ingredients, pesticides and toxic linoleic acid that will promote chronic disease.

Henry Kissinger once said, “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people.”2 Controlling people is their whole agenda.

The globalists have long held a monopoly on the grain industry with their patented genetically modified organisms (“GMOs”). In the early 2010s, not many people knew about GMOs. In 2011, we started to educate the public about their dangers, as they posed a major threat to public health and the environment.

In 2012, a ballot initiative was launched in California to require mandatory labelling of genetically engineered (“GE”) foods and food ingredients. The initiative was narrowly defeated due to massive donations from multinational corporations, but we won in the long term because awareness of GMOs in the food supply significantly increased. Now, most health-conscious people avoid GE/GMOs.

A similar trend is now occurring with fake food. The globalists are trying to replace animal husbandry with lab-grown meat, which will allow private companies to effectively control the entire food supply.

With their patented fake meat products, the globalists will have unprecedented control over people’s health.3 It sounds noble to try to provide for the entire world’s population using animal-free methods, but it’s a deception.

Fake meat is marketed as a health food, but it’s nothing more than a highly ultra-processed mixture of chemicals. Impossible Foods, for instance, uses genetic engineering to insert the DNA from soya plants into yeast, creating GE yeast with the gene for soy leghemoglobin.9

Impossible Foods refers to this compound as “heme,” but technically plants produce non-heme iron, and this is GE yeast-derived soy leghemoglobin.10 Heme iron only occurs in meat and seafood. Impossible Foods’ GE heme is used in their fake meat burgers as a colour additive that makes the product appear to “bleed” like real meat.

The health effects of GE heme are unknown but this didn’t stop the US Food and Drug Administration from approving soy leghemoglobin in 2019. The Centre for Food Safety (“CFS”) filed a lawsuit challenging the approval, which they called “unusually rapid”11 and risky for public health.

In their lawsuit, CFS points out that soy leghemoglobin is produced using synthetic biology, or “genetic engineering on steroids,” which does not shuffle DNA pieces between species but instead constructs new biological parts, devices and systems that do not exist in the natural world.12

The reason why Impossible Foods turned to synthetic biology to produce GE soy leghemoglobin is because it couldn’t extract enough of the substance directly from soya bean roots to produce its fake meat products on an industrial, mass-produced scale. The FDA GRAS for soy leghemoglobin is 526 pages long, if that gives you any idea of the industrialised complexity of this so-called GRAS “health” food.13

Beyond Meat is similarly industrially processed. Beyond Burger patties contain 22 ingredients. Among them are expeller-pressed canola oil, pea protein isolate, cellulose from bamboo, modified food starch and methylcellulose14 – hardly “health” foods. To morph these ingredients into a patty that resembles meat requires further processing.

It’s revealing, too, that while truly natural foods cannot be patented, Impossible Foods holds at least 14 patents, with about 100 more pending.15
