That ‘really bad cat’ just posted a Substinck (my intentional mispelling) about the chicanery and shenanigans surrounding food science at precisely the same time that the producer of Let Them Eat Bugs gets canned (yeah, that was a pun) from that one network which can’t seem to be able to keep good people.
You know, that one network where federal dark money might be propping up their stock shares so that they only show 4% losses for the day? Yeah, that one.
But when people allow government policies to take them away from economic freedom, rather than limiting their governments, then feeding the world gets hard. One solution is to return to free markets (slash government budgets and regulations), but the other solution is to feed people with bugs.
Because of the greedy fascism motivating elites, 43% of the world cannot afford to eat healthy:
When this report summarized the findings, what they discovered is that dispensing good advice on how to eat healthfully is guaranteed to fail, because so many people around the world could not afford to do so even if they know how to.
That’s because of fascism (anti-capitalist public policies).
When bad laws and policies and government-protected monopolies keep nations poor, so that people only have a few thousand dollars to spend on consumption, then over 47% of spending is on food:
But it wasn’t always like this. There was a time when any growth in income made you more rich — so that your paychecks could buy more — because prices were stable. Check out the relative price of beef during the years when economic freedom was nearly 100% and we did not even have a central bank:
But then have a look at what happens to the affordability of a standard of living after the government grows large and both the government and the central bank interfere with economic activity in order to accomplish subjective goals and grant carve-outs and top-skimming to cronies:
The numbers at right are the inflation rates from 2021 to 2022 (a single year of inflation). People are being “priced out of” these 5 essentials:
1) Medical Care
2) Energy
3) Food
4) Housing
5) Transportation
If prices for those 5 essential things undergo inflation in double-digit percentages, then the average person experiences more hardship over time (life becomes more bleak as time passes).
The solution is the opposite of the Great Reset though. The solution is a restoration of the protection of individual rights and a return to free enterprise. For a historic example of persisting improvement of the affordability of living standards, see the first century-and-a-half (150 years) of the United States of America.
