Given the strong link between viral virulence and obesity/diabetes, lifestyle changes are in order. India has low mortality figures (compared to the obese USA), perhaps because its people eat smaller quantities and eat more home-cooked food? Surely government health ministries should be investing in nutrition education, access to good, cheap ingredients ... and challenging corporations that market and sell high sugar, high trans-fat junk food? The DAVOS Agenda is pushing trendy "Fake Meat" which - even though it's rather expensive - is loved by the vegetarian and vegan middle-classes who want the familiar comforts of fake bacon, fake sausages, fake steaks. (WEF even directly promoted on its social media (twitter) an Israeli corporation that specialises in these products). Fake Meat (TM) is part of the new Reset. Haven't been able to establish whether they are exploring how the world's poor, stuck in shacks and slums, can start growing their own food or access cheaper, healthier nutrition? |
