Junk Food, Meat and Dairy Tax?

[Mbaker]

Not sure if there is a thread already on this topic. Previous discussions on this site were seen as scaremongering by some. What is disturbing for me is that up to 200 persons have been part of linking meat and dairy with poor COVID-19 outcomes, with no evidence.

A quick web search of the lead, Dr. Shireen Kassam, shows on the first screen results the angle she is coming from. A recipe for more industrialised, centrally controlled food like systems, where ultimately from a computer food selection would be File / Print / Pizza etc

It is about time there was a "put up or shut up" summit where all sides state their "evidence"

It's inexorable at this point.

In my view we are about to start seeing the true colours behind the media-driven virus hysteria;

"Three in four of the world’s new emerging diseases are caused by animals, with coronavirus leading to calls for more people to go vegan to avoid a future pandemic."

No agenda from Doc Kassam at all then...

"Dr Kassam, who founded Plant Based Health Professionals"

And the latest drivel from Greger in "The Sun" of all places...

At least this topic is getting lots of exposure now it's been moved to General Chat.

Coordinated of course. The strategy is to chip away from several angles such as health (their claims), environment (the same), ethics, politics. Our generation they made scared of animal fat, the younger generation animal flesh.
