What is Bill Gates doing with all that farmland hes buying up?
by WorldTribune Staff, June 24, 2021  Farmer Bill wants to change your diet. Whether you want him to or not. Farmer Bill would be Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who has been buying up so much American farmland that he is now the nations largest owner of such land. Successful Farming reported: In 1994, the Gateses hired the former Putnam Investments bond-fund manager to diversify the couples portfolio away from the Microsoft co-founders 45 percent stake in the technology giant while maintaining comparable or better returns. Apparently, he is putting together a scheme with an outfit of animal right activists called Upside Foods (formerly Memphis Meats) which is working in a lab trying to grow meat from livestock cells. Their goal is to destroy the livestock industry, the Lonesome Lands blog noted. So, if you must eat meat, Gates wants to get you off farm-grown meat and on lab-grown meat. The corporate media has, not surprisingly, gone giddy over Upside Foods and its so-called cell-based products. In January of last year, NPR reported that the California-based startup was one step closer to bringing cell-based meat to consumers mouths, after $161 million in new investment, which included funds from Gates. Upside Foods said in a statement that it will put a cell-cultured chicken product on the market this year, pending regulatory review. It would likely be the first commercialized lab-grown meat product sold in the America. Cultured chicken is currently being sold in a restaurant in Singapore, FoodProcessing.com reported last month. Jim Mundorf wrote for the Lonesome Lands blog: No matter how giddy these writers get over a world without a livestock industry they still have trouble explaining how it is actually going to work. The funny thing is nobody seems to have tasted this lab grown junk. They did have someone taste a meatball, but according to Newsweek, The companys first choice for an independent taster canceled at the last minute, so Stephanie, a friend of a friend of an employee, stepped in. Ha, well isnt that convenient. Actually the more I read the more confused I became. Im not sure if they can prove theyve really done anything at all. Its line after line of, if this works out and if they can just figure that out, then maybe they could get this product, that there is actually very little demand for, to market in a few years. It seems like a handful of animal rights activists that are working in a lab on a pipe dream, but the problem is theyve just been handed millions of dollars from other activists.  Cargill and PETA are also in with Gates and Upside Foods, Mundorf noted. Cargill, an agriculture industry giant, recently sold their cattle feedlots, and invested in Memphis Meats (now Upside Foods).  Mundorf added that Nicholas Genovese, the co-Founder of Memphis Meats (Upside Foods) was sponsored by PETA. Thats all you really need to know to understand this guy. The organization that compares chicken farms to concentration camps and livestock producers to Nazis gave this guy a three year fellowship.  Gateway Pundits Jim Hoft noted: So it appears Bill Gates is partnering with Cargill, and PETA to end livestock production in the U.S. And if Bill Gates owns the farmland then he can dictate what will and wont be produced on American farms.
