Bugs for thee, but not for me!

Today the annual Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, or COP27 as it is better known as, has begun in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, where world leaders, activists, investors, and pundits convene to discuss the issue of climate change and other necessary steps to reshape the world by 2030 and 2050.

Last year President Joe Biden nodded off during the introductory speeches on the opening night of COP26:

But putting that aside, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres opened this summit by once again warning how close the world is descending into utter catastrophe, stating we are on an imminent “highway to climate hell.”

This UN Climate Conference is a reminder that the answer is our hands, and the clock is ticking. We are in the fight of our lives and we are losing!

Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.

We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator.

And to avoid that dire fate, all G20 countries must accelerate their transition now in this decade.

Humanity has a choice: cooperate or perish. It is either a Climate Solidarity Pact, or a Collective Suicide Pact.

Let’s not forget that the war on nature is in itself a massive violation of human rights.

It is no secret that the UN, and other participating countries and groups, are very much keen on reducing the masses’ consumption of meat and meals containing meat.

The United Nations calls for people to become a “flexitarian,” which they define as “entailing substantial meat reduction, people are empowered to reclaim their personal and collective rights to better health and a more sustainable world.” This can be achieved by making meat a treat or only exclude meat for a day out of the week; raise the price of meat substantially, and offer financial incentives to wean off of eating meats.

Other major players like the World Economic Forum has been calling for the masses to reduce their meat consumption for some time as well, and eat bugs as one of the alternatives. Or even Pope Francis and the Vatican calling meat-eating a “self-destructive trend” that the people of the world need to “repent” of.

However in an ironic twist, COP27 caterers are offering plenty of meat-based dishes for guests to consume.

Cop Gourmet, the official catering website for the UN’s summit, provides the menu options patrons can purchase while in Egypt.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Access to the menu requires registration. I registered as “Mr. Wine Press” to gain full access to the options.

While many plant-based and vegan options are on the menu, there are still a fair share of meaty choices.

The “International Coffee Break” includes things like smoked turkey, cheese, and tuna sandwiches:

The “Continental Private Breakfast Buffet” offers grilled beef sausage, eggs prepared in a variety of different ways, and cheese.

The “International Lunch or Dinner Buffet” serves mini hamburgers (including a vegan alternative), crusted fish fillets, seasoned chicken, and crème brulee for desert.

The “Continental Lunch or Dinner Buffet” offers a chicken Caesar salad, salmon with creamy sauce, a juicy beef medallion, seasoned chicken breast, and tiramisu for desert:

The specialty “VIP Lunch or Dinner” serves up a seafood platter or Red Sea shrimp as an appetizer, more salmon and chicken dishes, including angus beef medallions, marinated grilled beef, grilled bass, and a cheesecake for desert:

And yet outlets like Climate & Capital Media went into detail about how COP 27 will especially be emphasizing vegan-based options and reducing the consumption of actual meat.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

1 Timothy 4:1-5

Ah, the green elites are back to pontificating to us about eating worms while they eat juicy steak and grilled salmon; traveling to Egypt in their gas-guzzling private jets. Bugs for thee, but not for me.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • I want no part of that, I think even the beginning of Jacobs trouble will be Hell on earth, it certainly looks that way to me. I am so thankful for my salvation and that I will be missing it all, I will be safe at home with my Yeshua!

  • They are hypocrites and love it and are proud of it, with no remorse. They have chosen the path of destruction, serving the devil. Their end is coming very soon! The Lord has it for them!

  • Job 20:4-7 – Authorized (King James) Version
    4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
    5 that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
    6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
    7 yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

    “Manturov called for a change of mentality and to evaluate the meat from the fly larvae

    In the future, consumers will add more and more vegetable raw materials to their diet instead of animal proteins. The state needs to support this direction, and Russians need to change their attitude to alternative meat, Manturov believes

    “Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov believes that the production of alternative products from vegetable protein in Russia needs to be supported, and consumers need to change the “mentality” in relation to these products. The official said this at a session of the Indofood exhibition held in Sochi.

    According to him, Manturov tried vegetable meat twice — he was treated at the Innoprom exhibition. It was about the products of the Efko company, which began the production of vegetable meat back in 2020 (meat is made from vegetable proteins: soy, pea and rice). “Indeed, it is very difficult to distinguish from natural meat — you have to be such a great gourmet to do it. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference,” admitted the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

    The use of vegetable raw materials instead of animal protein is a global trend today, and Russian manufacturers are keeping up with this trend, but consumers are still cautious about such products, Manturov points out. When he was offered an alternative meat at the tasting, he knew about it in advance: “It was a blind tasting, so, as I said, it’s still in the mentality that you eat a substitute, but it’s absolutely identical in taste. Moreover, all these flavorings are natural.”

    The Deputy Prime Minister admitted that he himself is “still adapting” to the proposals of manufacturers regarding the use of vegetable protein as an alternative to animals — for example, larvae. At the Innofood exhibition, such products — burgers with a cutlet, which consists of vegetable proteins with the addition of a concentrate of black lion fly larvae, vegetables and aquafabs (vegetable egg replacement) — were presented by Modern Food Technology.

    “It’s really amazing when the world uses protein from the larva of the black lion, and we, as I said, are keeping up with the times here. Probably, we need to work a little bit with the mentality of all of us present here, and the black lion can “come in”. But we need to try. Although, probably, a person adapts to everything, and to this too,” the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade noted. He also stated that as a consumer he intends to “continue experimenting and consuming vegetable meat in his diet.”

    Manufacturers are showing “good results,” but in addition to growing raw materials for the production of alternative products, the technology of its production, including mechanical engineering, should also be developed, Manturov added. “We must support these areas on the part of the state with preferential loans, R&D benefits (research and development work. — RBC), to provide support jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture and other federal executive authorities in terms of regulation. Because in addition to the mentality, it is also necessary to ensure this from the point of view of regulatory mechanisms,” the official concluded.”

    In that sense, that doesn’t sound very encouraging to Africans.:

    “Russia ready to supply food to poor countries in Africa – Russian envoy

    Ruslan Edelgeriyev congratulated Egypt on the beginning of its presidency in COP27

    SHARM EL SHEIKH /Egypt/, November 6. /TASS/. Russia is ready to continue supplies of food and fertilizers to the poorest countries, especially in Africa, Russian Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Ruslan Edelgeriyev, who leads the Russian delegation to the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference (COP27), said on Sunday.

    “We are set for pragmatic and depoliticized cooperation based on combating climate change, following the UN sustainable development goals, and commitment to the efforts to eradicate poverty and hunger in developing countries,” he stressed.”

  • With widespread consensus in the so-called scientific community that reducing emissions is not enough to slow climate change, Biden recently approved a 5 yr study on “solar geoengineering” also know as solar radiation management. This is a technique that essentially involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from earth. The idea is that, once sunlight is reflected away from earth, there’ll be less heat and temperatures will go down. And not just any old fine aerosols, they believe one of the most promising ways to offset climate change’s effects would be injecting sulfur dioxide (SO2) aerosols directly into earth’s stratosphere.
    Please note, I am using their own language to describe what they believe, and what they “plan” to do — I say “plan” to do, because if one does just a little digging, one can easily find US govt research from an alphabet soup of agencies examining how they can pump particles into the air to BLOCK OUT THE SUN. They are basing this on what they consider is the wonderful aftermath of large volcanic eruptions, akin to a “nuclear winter” to cool down the planet.
    It’s worth noting that Biden is acting at the direction of Congress. They are all in on this.
