[PJ] Imagine if Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies suddenly dropped his evil plans of world domination to start an orphanage for wayward kittens. It’s an absurd plotline, but not far off from one of the Earth’s super-carbon-emission emitters himself deciding he will tell you what to eat from now on to save the environment.
Well, if billionaire and delusional nanny-stater Bill Gates has his way, you may be forced to eat ’synthetic meat’ on a bun instead of a wonderfully tasty and juicy, Grade-A burger. He will still be clogging the air with his personal jet travel, however.
In a recent interview with Technology Review, the increasingly bizarre Microsoft founder declared that Earth’s wealthy nations should force their populaces to eat synthetic meat. Yes, really.
The magazine asked Gates if "plant-based and lab-grown meats could be the full solution to the protein problem globally, even in poor nations?" His answer boggles the mind of any red-blooded American meat-eater. |
