The climate alarmist movement’s food policy has undergone a radicalization in recent years \u2013 from recommendations to eat less meat and more vegetables to forcing people to switch to eating insects.\u00a0In order to speed up this development, food manufacturers may not have to declare that their products contain the controversial small insects.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n That all foodstuffs must be clearly, accurately and comprehensively declared has long been a guiding principle.\u00a0The consumer has been considered to have the right to know what he or she is ingesting, which raw materials, additives, amounts of a range of substances, vitamins and number of calories.\u00a0But now the entire planet’s existence is at stake, and to avoid the predicted doom in an alleged climate catastrophe, they are prepared to make exceptions.<\/span><\/p>\n In order for the earth to be saved, the message is that we must all abandon our old habits and think progressively.\u00a0We have to stop flying, driving and many other things.\u00a0Even our eating habits need to change if the earth is not to meet the same fate as the planet Mars in a few decades.<\/span><\/p>\n It is no longer enough to cut back on meat consumption or even to become a vegetarian or vegan.\u00a0The future of the planet now depends on us switching to a diet based on insects.\u00a0But the actors who want to push through this change in diet have encountered problems with the attitude of the citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n It turns out that many people are prejudiced against eating grasshoppers and fly larvae, and time is running out to bring about the change of attitude among conservatives and reactionaries as climate armageddon lurks around the corner.\u00a0So now the authorities want to try another solution.<\/span><\/p>\n If the food manufacturers don’t have to report that their products contain insects, many people with prejudices will buy and consume them without knowing what it is they are putting in their mouths.\u00a0At a later stage, it can be revealed and the insect opponents are thus convinced that it was only mental blocks that prevented them from participating in saving the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n Concretely, it concerns, among other things, that the EU, known for its many, far-reaching and detailed directives also in the food area, now has no plans to force food manufacturers to state on the label or elsewhere that their products contain insects.<\/span><\/p>\n It is confirmed by Stella Kyriakides, the EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, on a question from SD’s EU Member of Parliament Charlie Weimers.\u00a0The decision comes close to Brussels approving crickets and worms in products intended for human consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n “The Commission currently has no plans for additional labeling requirements for foods containing insects,” Kyriakides clarified.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the European Commission, already existing legislation satisfactorily ensures that the consumer is informed about the content of food products.<\/span><\/p>\n When the approval was announced, it was communicated that it would be a free choice to switch to ”\u00a0<\/span>alternative protein sources<\/span><\/em>\u00a0“.\u00a0But now they want to speed up the transition and get more people to change their eating habits by not labeling what the products contain.\u00a0It is unclear whether the European Commission changed its mind or never thought that there would be any concrete option.<\/span><\/p>\nThe message: Eat insects – otherwise the earth will perish<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
Avoid labeling the products<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
Free choice is put out of play<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
