Why are we inverting our two million year positive relationship with meat?
The Great Reset – on the cover of TIME Magazine
The Great Food Transformation
Accelerating rate of undemocratic top-down change
The people involved – the WEF
Maurice Strong’s Davos new age utopian transition mindset
The motivation for The Great Reset
EAT Lancet’s diet similar to macrobiotic diet – more grains, legumes, and veg oils, less red meat and eggs

The true scope of EAT Lancet’s diet
The shift wheel
Taxes, restrictions, bans, Veganuary, making meat less visible, changing dietary guidelines etc.

Lack of dialogue and consultation within EAT
How grain cultivation was how the first human elites controlled the population
Why we need grassroots movements in communities to counter this
Health of soil, animals, foods, communities, and society
Regenerative agriculture is a mindset and a food system
Why we need to fight hard against this by reconnecting with our food
