Did you see the ratio Bloomberg just earned for a tweet which recommends getting used to lentils instead of meat, switching to public transportation, and avoiding buying things in bulk?(This article is linked below)
The piece, written by economist Teresa Ghilarducci, recommends that families earning under $300,000 per year consider switching to public transportation, embracing a veggie diet, and “rethink those costly pet medical needs.”
The intellectual heavyweight oddly retweeted someone slamming her advice.
Which is being parodied throughout social media…

Unsurprisingly, Ghilarducci and the far-left “New School for Social Research” she works for is affiliated with the World Economic Forum (WEF) – which, in addition to bragging about having ‘infiltrated‘ various world governments – infamously suggested that people get used to eating bugs due to inevitable food shortages, and
Yes, this WEF:
Which brings us to the WEF’s latest – warning of an impending food crisis kicked off by the war in Ukraine.
Key points:
More people around the world will go hungry as a result of the pandemic, high fuel prices and the conflict in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine are also major producers and suppliers of fertilizers and their raw materials. Existing logistical issues with moving grain and food are likely to worsen. Disruptions will put further pressure on this year’s harvest and lead to higher food prices. Even before the pandemic, the FAO estimated that 690 million people or 9% of the world’s population, were facing food insecurity.
In short, the Ukraine war is accelerating the existing problem of inflation and food shortages, so hold on to your hats and consider a ‘more sustainable diet’ because things are about to get much, much worse.
We are currently witnessing the beginning of a global food crisis, driven by the knock-on effects of a pandemic and more recently the rise in fuel prices and the conflict in Ukraine. There were already clear logistical issues with moving grain and food around the globe, which will now be considerably worse as a result of the war. But a more subtle relationship sits with the link to the nutrients needed to drive high crop yields and quality worldwide.
…
In this context, calling for an immediate government intervention to the market is therefore the natural thing to do. Yet government budgets are severely stretched after COVID, leaving little room for direct monetary support and contribution. In view of the recent promises to remove all Russian oil and gas from our imports, there will be some tough decisions ahead for governments, farmers and consumers alike.
In the medium term, it highlights the need to transform our food system, using more green energy. We should also be encouraging more sustainable diets, which contain fewer grain fed animal products; and regenerative agricultural practices, which improve soil health and the efficiency of nutrient use by the crop. -WEF
So… eat the bugs and be happy?
“... there is no public transportation....”
The successors of Agenda 21 will have you transported to a sustainable Urban Utopia and “you will be happy”.
Eat bugs and let your pets die peasants!
Oh, and take the bus, don’t run that A/C and of course no flying for you lowly peasants either.
Biden needs to bring in another 5 million illegals so Amerians can spread around their food supply. Three more years of this idiot will be exciting. Lock and load.
I predict a real kick up on the EBT spending limit. Some folks will never feel the pinch.
Sell your Weight Watchers stock!
Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland, Jacinda Ardern, Eyepatch McCain, Tulsi Gabbard, even Putin as an early person...all WEF acolytes. Some may not stay on the reservation, but I wouldn't trust in that.
The WEF, much like the villains in 'Atlas Shrugged', are "connected". While they may not have power in the direct sense, but obviously they can influence those who make (or, make up on the fly) laws in their respective countries.
or, hunt and eat the fat cat WEF members for a start.
In other words, "let them eat cake".
This is the same person who was advocating the confiscation of 401k funds.
I am so thankful to my reptilian, globalist overlords.
I think they are looking for more sustainable riots.
“You little people start eating bugs. We’ll continue with our steaks.”
eat bugs or eat the rich
Drought in Brazil too and they supply a lot of the world’s beef. Can’t grow grass, can’t grow cattle
Right and the wheat shortage is expected to raise the price of poultry and eggs as well.
I think it’s time to pull out the Weather Control experiments and HAARP. Maybe in moderation.
I've driven through large swaths of this country, I've seen the great farmlands that feed our nation. There may be isolated shortages due to supply chain issues, and prices will inevitably rise. IMO, painting a picture of horrendous shortages and starvation is overwrought.
Thankfully, my economics professor was nothing like this woman. He was a tough taskmaster, and I felt the sting of his verbal lashes when I gave him a wrong answer. Those who studied under Dr. Erwin Graue at Gonzaga will remember his most salient phrase: "there are no free lunches!" lol, truer words have never been spoken.
Wheat... Very finicky crop. Ever wonder why civilization initially thrived in certain latitudes? Look no further than wheat. There are other gluten producing grains but they are related cereals.
Wheat thrived in those conditions, yet other crops might not be so sensitive, such as oats or barley outside of those areas. Is wheat artificiality propped up to grow in regions outside of where it thrives naturally?
Is wheat so important solely because of glutin, or is it about the methane bovines produce?
BigWheat? Is BigWheat as powerful as Big Corn or is it all Big-Agra nowadays?
Give us corn! Or dried peas and rice. Or lentils!
Or swap crops? Big agra can’t farm on the fly. I wonder if independents can?
