There have been musings from the World Economic Forum (WEF) about giving insects a role in our food systems as an alternative protein to meat. The WEF boldly tells us that in the future… “meat will be a special treat, not a staple for the good of the environment and our health.”
Claims pushed by the WEF are that consumption of non-meat, alternative protein reduces the risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Alternative protein backed by the WEF and academic intelligentsia include: plant-based alternatives (soy, peas, lentils, beans), tofu, insects (crickets, worms), algae, mycoprotein (filamentous fungus) and cultured meat (clean meat produced by in vitro procedure).
We are further told that consumer interest in alternative protein is increasing in countries with economic wealth. But this is hardly true. Take the case of Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) — a North American plant-based protein company.
Its share price history likely reveals true consumer interest. It initially listed at $72 USD back in May 2019, hit a high of $239.9 in July 2019 but has been hovering at an uninspiring $24 in June 2022. Why? Consumers may be willing to try alternative protein but are unlikely repeat such purchases and they become increasingly tired of hearing about it.
Soy supposedly represents the most popular and competitively priced type of alternative protein for consumers. It is often claimed that low-fat protein — soy in particular — can improve some cardiovascular disease risk factors. However, the science behind some of these claims was recently evaluated in a National Association of Scholars (NAS) report .
Nutritional epidemiology naively relies on statistical associations to make claims about whether a foodstuff benefits or harms health. The NAS report looked at flimsy science methods so often used in nutritional epidemiology to justify government regulation. It evaluated a meta-analysis of soy protein […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
