‘Gross’: WEF elites push for fake, lab-grown meat
Social media users reacted to elites discussing the consumption of lab-grown meat products during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
A video clip circulated on social media on Thursday of Andrea Illy, an Italian businessman and chairman of the coffee company Illycaffè, pushing for the adoption of tech foods.
‘This, I know, it’s kind of a cultural revolution.’
Sam Kass, a former White House chef and senior policy adviser for nutrition under former President Barack Obama, said, “A lot of what we’re starting to see are these replacements for these core foods. I’ve tasted a bunch of, you know, ‘future coffee, fake coffee.’ How do you see that application?”
Kass asked for Illy’s opinion on the matter, noting that, while the technology of cultivated food is “smart” and “interesting,” “from a values perspective” and as a chef, he does not want to see a future “where we’re starting to drink coffee from a factory as opposed to from a tree.”
Illy responded, “There is a terrible cultural resistance from [the] consumer to accept tech foods. But in my opinion, they represent the way forward.”
“We know from statistics … that 70% of the ecological footprint of agriculture is due to animal proteins,” Illy continued.

He argued that the “excessive consumption” of meat “is the first cause of noncommunicable diseases,” which he claimed is “the number one health problem in the Western society.”
Illy suggested reducing meat consumption to a “healthy” level, while considering “the environmental impact.”
“Why should I use animals when I can cultivate meat and get only the best part of it?” Illy questioned.

“This, I know, it’s kind of a cultural revolution,” he added, estimating that it would take decades to get people to adopt lab-grown meat as the new norm.
The WEF website boasts the adoption of cultivated meat. The organization explains that lab-grown meat begins with “extracting stem cells from a small sample of animal tissue” and placing those stem cells in a bioreactor. The WEF claims that cultivated meats offer “a multitude of benefits,” including reduced environmental impacts, lower resource use, elimination of the need to slaughter animals, and elimination of antibiotic use.
X users in the comments seemed less than enthusiastic about tech foods.
“They will eat steaks from the finest beef. Everyone else cancer cells cultivated in a laboratory,” one user wrote.
“Gross,” another stated.
“WEF is full of demons,” a third wrote.

Pressed on Greenland, Trump tells Davos the US has weapons he ‘can’t even talk about’
President Donald Trump is dropping more hints about the technology used to capture Venezuela’s former communist leader Nicolas Maduro.
During his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the president discussed his thoughts on Greenland as a strategic military location against China and Russia.
After saying how “stupid” the United States was to give the territory back to Denmark after World War II, Trump said the world is in greater danger with Greenland exposed.
‘They weren’t able to fire one shot at us.’
“Now our country and the world face much greater risks than it did ever before because of missiles, because of nuclear, because of weapons of warfare that I can’t even talk about,” Trump began. He then started discussing the weapons used in the capture of Maduro.
“Two weeks ago, they saw weapons that nobody ever heard of. They weren’t able to fire one shot at us. They said, ‘What happened?’ Everything was discombobulated. They said, ‘We’ve got them in our sights. Press the trigger.’ And nothing happened,” he told his fellow world leaders.
The president added that Venezuelan defense forces could not fire any anti-aircraft missiles, saying there was “one that went up about 30 feet and crashed down right next to the people that sent it.”
“They said, ‘What the hell is going on?'” the president added.
Much speculation has been given to the types of advanced technology U.S. forces used in Operation Absolute Resolve, including directed-energy weapons.
One of Maduro’s security guards described American troops as shooting with “such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute.”
The security guard described the Americans launching a “sonic weapon or whatever it was,” which was like a “very intense sound wave,” and he “felt like” his head “was exploding from the inside.”
“We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood,” he recalled.

As for the unresponsive defense systems Trump described as “made by Russia and by China,” reports have claimed that telecommunications towers were among the first targets destroyed by American forces. A Russian-made surface-to-air missile system was also destroyed in airstrikes, others reported.
“So they’re going to go back to the drawing boards,” Trump remarked.
Much of what the United States has revealed about its weapons systems is already advanced, such as helmet technology that provides a sort of X-ray vision, supported by an interconnected drone and communications network, as well as anti-drone energy weapons.
Trump was eager to explain America’s need to acquire Greenland due to it being an “undefended” and “key strategic location” between the United States, Russia, and China.
“We need it for strategic national security and international security,” Trump said as the room remained dead silent.
The president also dismissed notions that the real reason to take Greenland was to acquire rare-earth minerals, saying the real rarity lies with processing and that Greenland’s minerals are buried deep under ice.

‘Stupid people’: Trump gives European allies tough love during Davos speech
President Donald Trump addressed the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday and had a tough message for a rapidly transforming Europe.
Trump began his message by lamenting the direction Europe is going. Trump pointed out that by most metrics, Europe is shrinking where it should be growing.
‘That’s why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West.’
“The consequences of such destructive policies have been stark, including lower economic growth, lower standards of living, lower birth rates, more socially disruptive migration, more vulnerability to hostile foreign adversaries, and much, much smaller militaries,” Trump said.
He also referred to European leaders as “stupid people” for buying Chinese-made windmills and other “Green New Scam” materials instead of investing in more efficient means of energy.
“You’re supposed to make money with energy, not lose money,” he quipped.

Despite the jab, President Trump reminded these European leaders that the United States is deeply vested in the future and well-being of their countries.
“The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe. We really do. I mean, look, I am derived from Europe. Scotland and Germany. … We believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe.”
“As a civilization, I want to see it do great. That’s why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West.”
Trump called for a stark reversal of European decline: “Europe and those counties have to do their thing. They have to get out of the culture that they’ve created over the last 10 years. It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves … these beautiful, beautiful places.”
“We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones. We want Europe to be strong,” Trump concluded.
