Since several commenters on Parts 1 and 2 of this series wanted to know how my health is faring since my original 2022 Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, I wanted to give an update based on my most recent blood work. The great news is that it mostly came back lovely and is trending in the right direction. My A1.c is 6.1, down from 14.5 two years ago. While my blood glucose tends to hover around 110, it's a sight better than the 360 that was registering before. Depending on the day, and what I eat, my glucose sometimes dips well below 90. I plan to continue my work with a functional nutritionist to get to the root cause of why my insulin resists keeping my glucose below 100 on a consistent basis, and to even out the occasional roller coaster of spikes. 

It took time to undo the damage, and it will take time to get back to full metabolic health. It's all a work in progress, but monitoring my food intake using a CGM has revealed certain patterns that are extremely helpful. So far I've discovered that my body responds well to lots of Omega 3 foods, and plenty of red meat, and when I eat this on a consistent basis, it keeps my glucose stable. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Some people have an adverse physical reaction to eating meat or they simply don't enjoy it. To each his own. I am thankful that not only do I enjoy it, but it is a critical factor in the restoration of my health. This is why I have a big problem with the government working overtime to destroy cattle and meat-producing concerns, both small and large, under the supposition that it is a part of their job to save the planet. The usual suspects: the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, are leading the way. 

They are serious about controlling the population, and they are doing it through restriction and regulation. My go-to experts on all this stuff, Nina Teicholz and Gary Taube, give up the grim news:

Over the past five years, events unfolding under the UN’s “Decade of Action” to create more sustainable food systems by the year 2030 have seemed surreal. Most notably, the creation and widespread dissemination of the “planetary health diet,” by the EAT-Lancet Commission in 2019, recommending that everyone – sick and healthy, young and old – get 37% of their calories from grains and sugar with no more than ½ ounce of red meat a day. (The diet is incapable of sustaining human life without extensive supplementation, since it is deficient in multiple essential nutrients, including potassium, calcium, iron, and vitamins D, A, and B-12.) Now, a food industry analyst with a front seat to this policy process has written a first-hand account, with granular detail, about what he sees as agenda-driven actors undermining basic scientific integrity.

This started decades before, but the official formation of this initiative happened around 2019.

In 2019, UN Secretary General Anthony Gutierrez announced the summit and selected the Davos-based business group, the World Economic Forum (WEF), for its launch a year later. Billionaire Gunhild Stordalen, chair of the EAT Initiative which had produced the EAT-Lancet diet, was placed at the helm of “Action Track 2” (AT2) and tasked with creating a plan to shift to “more sustainable” food systems. Ederer writes that the entire AT2 leadership was composed of “persons closely associated with the EAT Initiative,” aligned with Stordalen’s goal of “significantly reduc[ing] the amount of meat consumption, accompanied by a corresponding reduction of livestock.” 

Fast forward to November 2022, when the "very trusted" FDA approved the sale of laboratory-grown meat within the United States. 

Lab-grown meat will be able to be sold to US consumers for the first time, with the federal government granting permission for two separate businesses to offer their chicken products to people.

Both Upside Foods and Good Meat said on Wednesday they had been given permission by the US Department of Agriculture to produce and sell chicken that has been grown from a cluster of sample animal cells in large metal vats.

The approval means that the US becomes just the second country in the world, after Singapore, to allow the sale of meat grown from animal cells, a breakthrough touted by the nascent industry as being better for both animals, which aren’t harmed in the process, and the environment.

Yeah, Sure, Jan. 

In February, our sister site PJ Media covered New York Attorney General Letitia James' (yeah, that one) lawsuit against a national beef producer because... climate change.

On Wednesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that she had filed a lawsuit against meat producer JBS Foods' American division, JBS USA Food Company.

James alleged that officials were "misleading the public" about the JBS USA's environmental impact, namely via their claim that the company would "achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040" while still planning to "increase production, and therefore increase its carbon footprint."

Then you have Bill "Dr. Evil" Gates whose Gates Foundation financially backs practically every plant-based and lab-grown meat concern, including Impossible, Beyond Meat, Neutral, and Upside Foods. 

It's all collusion. Too many actors are intent on controlling the way we eat and destroying our ability to choose otherwise, even if it means our health suffers. 

Because the states leading the charge against this push are red states, critics are making it a partisan thing, rather than a health thing. It's also an economic thing: Alabama, Florida, Arizona, Kentucky, and Tennessee are states that not only have large agricultural concerns, but small and mid-sized ones. These are the states whose legislatures are working to ban the sale of synthetic meat. 

One of the things I love about living in Alabama is that I get to interact with the people who supply my meat and my eggs. I know exactly where the food is coming from, I get to ask questions, and I get to support my local economy. But Klaus Schwab's mantra, "You will own nothing and be happy," could also be paraphrased, "You will eat what we give you and be sick." 

Should the overlords have their way, being disconnected from your food where you have no idea where it comes from or what's in it, where you do not have a choice of what foods you can eat, and where you develop chronic illnesses as a result, will be the norm, rather than the exception. Sadly, for too many, it already is. Bravo to my adopted state, which on Friday leaped the final hurdle to passing the bill banning lab-grown meat. Gov. Kay Ivey is all about our agriculture and the engines of the economy, so she will happily sign it without hesitation. So, Alabama leads the way, but Florida, which has a majority Republican legislature and a Republican governor, will not be far behind. Tennessee will no doubt see their law passed before year's end as well. But Arizona and Kentucky? If these bills do clear the House and Senate, they may be vetoed by their Democrat governors. It is yet another example of why elections matter. 

So, what's a body to do? Particularly if you live in a blue state whose governor has aspirations of being the next authoritarian dictator and this time instead of using a manufactured virus, he or she uses manufactured food? Even before my diagnosis, when I lived in California, I stopped buying meat from grocery chains and started purchasing through a meat delivery service. Good Ranchers is the one that I used, and they openly declared that they would not only eschew using mRNA-injected beef and chicken but also never sell lab-produced meat. 

Expect their business, and others like them, to skyrocket over the coming years. 

Food cooperatives are also picking up steam, especially in communities where homesteading and growing and raising your own is encouraged. This is the community investing in the quality of their food and the types of foods that they will allow to be sold.

Finally, pay attention to the progress of these bills to ban lab-produced meats and to push transparency in labeling, and also petition your elected officials with consistency and persistence. It doesn't matter what Joe Biden or the FDA wants to do, your legislature does not have to adopt these regulations. Winning political victories at the state and local levels to not only blunt these intrusive government experiments, but to support and sustain your local producers is the quickest way to ruin the UN's, Bill Gates's, and the WEF's financial investment in keeping you sick and ensuring your early demise.
