The Great Food Reset
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve no doubt heard of the coming Great Economic Reset post the Covid-19 pandemic, now, welcome to the great reset Two; the Food Reset.
Is the aim to shove Genetically Modified Foods down everyone’s’ throat, well, that’s plausible.
If somebody told you that there was a plan to revolutionize the global food system from the top down, would you believe them?
People have taken food security for granted for so long for they’ve never considered that there’d be a time when food could become scarce; well prior to the epidemic that is, but the situation’s changing fast.
Under the new normal more people are going hungry than ever before and this in some of the world’s most advanced countries never mind the rest.
Listen to what one leader of the World Economic Forum says; Many of us are wondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never. The world as we knew it in the early months of 2020 is no more.
In July 2020, the Rockefeller Foundation released a paper entitled Reset the Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System. .
It outlines a major overhaul of the food distribution system from the farm to the table so let’s take a look; it’s no mealy mouthful to be sure.
Summary of proposed changes
1 To integrate the ‘food system’ under one political aegis
2 To collectivize and centralize control of the supply of food
3 To engender ‘Prosperity’ — i.e. enrich the stakeholders
This sounds like communism 101 right? But it’s been dumbed down to appeal to your average voter.
There’s the talk of making money go further to boost nutrition for the kids; but those of us who are more skeptical of political claims see through the fog.
Having a regionalized plan where food is grown and sold within a local area for example, is a good answer to the wasteful international system at present.
While this could work at grassroots level the scheme envisaged is one structured and implemented from on high down; even if these are known to fail every time and serve only oligarchical interests.
And one way of doing this is to eliminate all competition.
They want people to see food as a right and on the surface it sounds okay, until you realize where this leads; this is similar to moves being made to define a stable income as a right through Universal Basic Income grants.
But it’s all smoke and mirrors ….and puffery.
Part of the plan is to re-organize how food is distributed.
They want to place schools at the center of this distributive mechanism — this would ensure that all school kids have a chance at getting a good diet, who could argue with that?
With the campaign of the Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford there is now a concerted effort to put the responsibility for distributing food onto the schools.
It’s been presented in the media as a pitched battle between the Tories in the high castle and the peasants below but there is full co-operation from the government to build a scheme of food distribution in schools.
Then there’s this idea of seeing food as medicine.
But this isn’t about healthy eating; there are plans to genetically modify plants to provide all the basic nutrients people need, and the first step is for the state to define food as medicine to outlaw what they see as unhealthy foods, to tightly regulate our diet, which is a very bad thing.
Biobot Analytics is one large company that has government contracts for ‘wastewater surveillance’, If the powers in control of the food system wish to control you in this way, there is little chance of escaping such a deep level of institutionalization.
Now you have big tech companies like Facebook and Google teaming up in a project called FoodID to oversee food certification.
