EU ‘Green’ Agenda Calls For Eating Bugs To Save the Planet

Urges that environmental goals “will not happen without a shift in people’s diets.”

A new EU draft policy announced last week calls for “insect-based proteins” to be extensively promoted as a replacement for animal products, to save the environment.

The European Commission announced the Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy, touting it as a “fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly” program that will focus on “increasing the availability and source of alternative proteins such as plant, microbial, marine, and insect-based proteins and meat substitutes.”

The draft noted that the program “will not happen without a shift in people’s diets”.

“Moving to a more plant-based diet with less red and processed meat and with more fruits and vegetables will reduce not only risks of life-threatening diseases, but also the environmental impact of the food system,” claims the strategy, revealed last Wednesday.

EU centric news site EURACTIV, noted that the policy is calling for eating bugs, and spoke to Constantin Muraru from the international platform of insects for food and feed (IPIFF), an EU non-profit organisation which represents the interests of the insect production sector.

Muraru lauded the idea of both humans and animals eating more bugs, saying that there is “enormous potential.”

“Currently, the EU is heavily reliant on the importation of feedstuffs, but the disruption in the past few months with the coronavirus outbreak has made it increasingly apparent that we must look to make our agriculture more self-sustainable,” he said.

“Insects can be produced locally and are a highly nutritious, protein-rich foodstuff that can be produced in high quantities in a small area,” he added.

The EU continues to push the idea of eating bugs, with its Food Safety Authority having approved the sale of bugs as “novel food” earlier this year, meaning that they are likely to be mass produced for human consumption throughout the continent by the end of the year.

“These have a good chance of being given the green light in the coming few weeks,” the secretary-general of the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed, Christophe Derrien, told The Guardian.

The craze for eating insects stems from UN guidelines that “promote insects as a sustainable high-protein food.”

As we have previously highlighted, eating bugs has been heavily promoted by cultural institutions and the media in recent years because people are being readied to accept drastically lower standards of living under disastrous global ‘Green New Deal’ programs.

This will be exacerbated by the expected economic recession, or even depression, caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

This is why globalist publications like the Economist have been promoting the idea of eating bugs despite the fact that the kind of elitists who read it would never consider for a second munching on crickets or mealworms.

Unsurprisingly, restaurants are not seeing a big uptake for worm burgers, otherwise known as ‘bug macs’, or cricket based cuisine.

World Athletics Bans Trans

Biolgogical males will not be allowed to compete in women’s athletics

The World Athletics international governing body has announced that it will not allow trans identifying biological males to compete against biological women.

Lord Sebastian Coe, president of the body stated that as of March 31 no athlete who has gone through male puberty will be permitted to compete in female world ranking competitions.

Coe noted that further research will be undertaken on the matter, saying “We’re not saying no forever,” adding that the decision for now has been “guided by the overarching principle which is to protect the female category.”

“The majority of those consulted stated that transgender athletes should not be competing in the female category,” Coe noted, adding “Many believe there is insufficient evidence that trans women do not retain advantage over biological women, and want more evidence that any physical advantages have been ameliorated before they are willing to consider an option for inclusion into the female category.”

Coe added that sports bodies must “try to strike a balance between inclusivity and making sure there is no unfair advantage,” labelling the issue as “thorny”.

The decision was taken after World Athletics consulted 40 member federations, athletes and coaches, UN experts, the IOC and Para Athletics. It is also reported that pro-trans groups were consulted.

The governing body also voted to reduce the testosterone threshold for athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD) to below 2.5 nanomoles per litre, down from 5, for all events in the female category.

Reacting to the announcement, Olympic swimming medalist Sharron Davies called it a victory for “fair sport.”

Davies has long campaigned for the protection of women’s rights in sports, which she says has prompted trans groups to make her life hell.

Former Olympian Swimmer Says Trans Hate Mob Has ‘Made My Life Hell’

Last year, Swimming’s world governing body slapped a total ban on transgender athletes that have gone through any form of male puberty from taking part in women’s competitions.

Swimming’s World Governing Body Slaps Total Ban on Transgender Athletes

The decision was made following controversy over transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, with doctors advising that the competitor still had an unfair advantage over biological females despite having undergone testosterone suppressing therapy.

Top Doctors Say Trans Swimmer Has Unfair Advantage

Following the example of world swimming, Rugby’s international governing body also banned transgender athletes from competing in women’s matches.

Another Sport Bans Trans

Perhaps more sporting bodies will now take a look at what is happening within their competitions and follow these examples of restoring the rights of women to compete fairly.

    Rand Paul: “People Saying COVID Didn’t Come From A Lab Are Self-interested”

    “The real scientists have come to the conclusion this came from the lab”

    Appearing on Fox News Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul spoke about how Democrats are acting uncooperatively in the Senate investigation into the origins of COVID, and noted that anyone who still denies the lab leak theory is acting purely in self interest.

    “The people of America should realize that the people saying it didn’t come from a lab are self-interested,” Paul asserted, adding that “Tony Fauci approved and gave the money to the lab in Wuhan. So by proving that, he has and shares some culpability in the origins of this virus.”

    “He’s always going to deny that it came from the lab, because it comes back to his reputation for having the incredibly poor judgment to send this money to Wuhan,” Paul continued.

    “The machinery of government over there is biased, and they’re never going to admit to this. But if you talk to the real scientists – and there’s dozens and dozens of eminent virologists now who have come to the conclusion this came from the lab,” the Senator further noted.

    Paul also noted that Democrats are stonewalling the investigation, explaining “I have 30 letters to eight different government agencies. So far, I have no Democrats signing on to help me get any of this information.”

    “I’ve approached four Democrat chairmen and most of the information is unclassified, but they refuse to give it. So this is a real problem,” Paul added.

    Paul spoke about the consequences of the pandemic and the resulting lockdowns, noting “They damaged our children, particularly the least among us, those who live in poverty, those who have difficult family circumstances.”

    “[Lockdowns] did not work. Everybody got COVID eventually, and it wasn’t effective in countries like Sweden that didn’t lock down Their kids, went to school every day. Not one kid died in Sweden. So this was a fallacy promoted by Tony Fauci and the establishment of government,” paul emphasised.

    Watch:

    Paul reemphasised the comments duding another interview on Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla.

    The Senator also spoke about the potential indictment of Donald Trump, noting “Nobody yet has really I think fully explained how big a problem this is going to be. This is going to divide the country like nothing has in a long time. It is going to anger a huge part of the country.”

    He continued, “I’m talking about a visible, seething anger at taking a president and trying to make a fool of a former president and trying to put him up and take a mug shot of him and arrest him. I think it will divide this country like nothing has ever happened.”

    “People need to remember, when Gerald Ford took the, I think, responsible position of not going after Richard Nixon, it was to let the nation heal. And this is something that I think is awful that they’re going to do,” The Senator urged.

    He continued, “It’s over something that’s an alleged campaign finance violation that shouldn’t be criminal anyway and ought to be a fine if it is true. And if they if they choose to actually arrest him, you’re going you’re going to see discontent and possibly unrest in the country.”

    Paul later tweeted out a call to jail the Manhattan DA, rather than Trump:

    Video: Thermal Drone Footage Shows Army Of Illegals Entering U.S.

    “It happens every morning”

    Footage captured by a thermal drone shows an army of illegal migrants entering the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas, yesterday with the reporter who captured the footage noting that it happens “every morning”.

    The video shows scores of migrants lined up ready to cross into the U.S. under cover of darkness.

    Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted out the footage Thursday, noting that there have been over 1,400 crossings in the Del Rio sector alone in the past 24 hours, and close to seventy thousand since the beginning of last month.

    Texas GOP ~Senator Ted Cruz commented on the footage, noting that “5,000,000 illegal aliens have crossed the border since Joe Biden was elected.”

    Last week, similar footage captured migrants streaming into Eagle Pass basically unimpeded.

    Speaking last week, Melugin urged that he witnesses the same thing happen every morning “with no resistance” on either side of the border.

    Melugin noted that many of the migrants he speaks to repeat the same phrase, “Joe Biden es el major”.

    Melugin recently highlighted newly released CBP numbers showing close to a quarter of a million encounters with migrants at the border in October alone, with 64,000 recorded “gotaways”.

    As we highlighted last month, newly published federal data revealed that close to a hundred individuals listed on the FBI terror watchlist have been apprehended at the Southern border in the last year, a record high and a huge uptick in recent months.

    Federal Data Quietly Reveals 100 Terror Suspects Caught At Southern Border

    The data was highlighted by Melugin, as he noted that the figure is almost four times the previous five years combined:

    Previous data from 2019 indicated that zero terror suspects had been encountered at the border.

    Earlier this week, DHS Secretary Mayorkas laughably insisted that the southern border is secure:
