An international investigation has uncovered the disturbing truth behind the globalist agenda to inundate the food supply with biotech products like Bill Gates’ lab-grown “meats.”
Dutch investigative journalist Elze van Hamelen has released a new report to sound the alarm about the overwhelming influx of counterfeit food items being introduced by the biotech industry. Contrary to the claims made by the environmentally conscious elite, fake meats do not prioritize your well-being or the health of the planet.
Van Hamelen cautions that these products are a means to phase out farmers and ranchers, paving the way for the agriculture industry to be replaced by highly processed food products that can be patented and controlled. According to van Hamelen, the production of lab-grown meat is exorbitantly expensive.
Furthermore, the manufacturing process of these “foods” is plagued by bacterial and viral contamination.
Despite the resemblance to pharmaceutical manufacturing, lab-grown meat is not classified as a pharmaceutical product. Consequently, human testing is not required. Rather than supporting corporate supermarket chains or fake food products, van Hamelen suggests backing small-scale farmers who cultivate real food.
It is possible that lab-grown products may eventually account for 80 percent or more of the global “meat” consumption. This transition would mark a significant departure from centuries of human dietary habits.
Naturally, this shift in the food supply will primarily affect the general public, as the affluent elite will continue to indulge in traditional meat products. In a conversation with Catherine Austin Fitts of “The Solari Report,” van Hamelen sheds light on the implications of the proliferation of “fake foods” for human health.
The Dutch government is one of several entities heavily investing in lab-grown “meat.” Advocates of this alternative, including prominent figure Bill Gates, argue that lab-grown “foods” are the solution to both environmental preservation and global hunger eradication. Gates is exerting pressure on Western governments to ban traditional meats and replace them entirely with his synthetic beef and other products.
However, the products developed by Gates’s company, Upside Foods, face significant technological challenges that render them excessively expensive, susceptible to bacterial and viral contamination, and extremely difficult to produce on a large scale. This push has raised concerns about the true motives behind the drive to dominate the food supply with fake meat products. Experts caution that if government and corporate entities gain control over the food supply through synthetic food, they also gain control over the population.
Meanwhile, van Hamelen is sounding the alarm regarding the potential impact on public health that the introduction of such products may have. In order to create fake meat, cell lines are extracted from a living organism and then manipulated to grow rapidly and consistently. Van Hamelen asserts that the cells used for fake meat production, which proliferate quickly, are sourced from either cancerous cells or fetuses.
“They have cells that proliferate very quickly.”
Biotech companies remain secretive regarding the specific cell lines utilized in the production of lab-grown meats. Typically, cells thrive within a structured environment within the human body.
However, in bioreactors within laboratories, these cell lines are cultivated within a thin film or growth medium. In the human body, this growth medium is represented by our blood.
Van Hamelen clarifies that replicating this intricate substance is a challenging task for laboratories, which attempt to mimic it using fetal bovine serum (FBS) derived from live calf fetuses.
“It’s really gruesome how this is harvested,” she says.
FBS is frequently employed for cultivating cultured cells due to its rich content of proteins and vitamins.
A 2013 study stated, “In many common culture media, the sole source of micronutrients is fetal bovine serum (FBS).”
In Singapore, the year 2020 witnessed the introduction of lab-grown chicken by U.S. startup Eat Just. This groundbreaking achievement marked the first instance of a “cultured meat” product being available for purchase at a restaurant. The production of this chicken involved the utilization of FBS, a crucial component. In order to create synthetic “blood,” precision fermentation techniques were employed, utilizing genetically engineered (GE) microbes. Additionally, artificial hormones, which are prohibited in the European Union, were incorporated. The sourcing of micronutrients and minerals further adds to the complexity and exorbitant cost of the process. According to van Hamelen, the expenses associated with this method are incredibly high.
In fact, the use of an FBS-free medium could potentially result in lab-grown “meat” costing over $20,000 per kilogram. The Good Food Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the alternative protein industry, released a report suggesting that a 90% reduction in the cost of FBS-free mediums would significantly decrease the price of synthetic meat. However, the feasibility of achieving such a reduction remains uncertain.
“The report provides no evidence to explain why these micronutrient costs will fall,” the Counter’s deputy editor, wrote.
In precision fermentation, genetically engineered (GE) microorganisms like yeast and bacteria undergo fermentation in tanks resembling those used in breweries. This process takes place under advanced and sterile conditions to ensure optimal results.
According to van Hamelen, it is crucial to control contamination levels to as low as 2 parts per billion. This is because any contamination can lead to the proliferation of bacteria, transforming the cell culture into a bacterial culture.
The report by The Good Food Institute assumes that future fake meat facilities will be designed to meet food-grade standards rather than pharmaceutical-grade standards.
Opting for pharmaceutical-grade standards would result in even higher costs.
