Canada\u2019s CPI rose 4.4% YoY this September, according to Statistics Canada. Every major sector saw gains, but meat prices spiked 9.5%, marking the fastest pace of growth since April 2015.\u00a0Canada\u2019s Food Price Report for 2021<\/a>, released in December 2020, predicted that meat prices would rise 4.5% to 6.5% in 2021, a drastic underestimate. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, project lead and Director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University warned people that they should develop \u201cimmunity\u201d to rising prices. \u201cImmunity to higher food prices requires more cooking, more discipline and more research. It\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d Gaslighting the people to believe they need to change their lives, rather than government change their policy, is at play once again.<\/p>\n
Let me remind you that Bill Gates and others have been advocating for a move to\u00a0100% synthetic beef.<\/a> But his logic only applies to the \u201crich\u201d countries such as the US and Canada. \u201cWeirdly, the US livestock, because they\u2019re so productive, the emissions per pound of beef are dramatically less than emissions per pound in Africa,\u201d Gates said in an interview in February 2021. \u201cSo no, I don\u2019t think the poorest 80 countries will be eating synthetic meat. I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they\u2019re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.\u201d This ties into the climate change agenda and the idea that starvation can help us shift to zero CO2…<\/p>\n
