(LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted, not all hyperlinks included]) — Professors seeking to know how to manipulate people into eating less red meat have released a study on the subject.

Three professors and one Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California published their findings in Climatic Change magazine on August 12. Over 5,000 Democratic, Republican, and Independent Americans were surveyed for the report.

Working under the presumption that red meat is “a major contributor to climate change,” the study wanted to know if changes in language might induce ordinary citizens to reject red meat and eat more “climate-friendly” foods.

The study begins by noting that “people’s attitudes can be influenced by … variations in terminology.” It adds that Americans are most familiar with the terms “climate change” and “global warming.” The more partisan-infused phrases “climate justice” and “climate emergency” are not as well known.

The paper ultimately found that a willingness to eat less red meat fell along partisan lines, with Democrats being more eager to deny themselves the nutrient dense food, which is chock full of vitamins and proteins that aid in muscle growth. Republicans, on the other hand, were “often unresponsive” to changes in terminology.

The paper concludes that “climate change communications may therefore need to go beyond terminology.” It recommended that “effective communication strategies include using compelling everyday language, presenting clear graphs, emphasizing social norms, and making climate-friendly actions the default.”

It added that “efforts to reach Republicans may require messages from Conservative spokespeople, and involving the private sector in climate change mitigation.”

Reducing red meat consumption while promoting fake food and plant-based protein is a top priority for organizations like the World Economic Forum and the Club of Rome. Western oligarchs like Bill Gates as well as U.S.-based companies like Tyson are also investing billions in the movement by pouring money into synthetic eggs and lab-grown chicken, all in the name of purportedly fighting climate change.

But farmers in the Netherlands and a growing number of European countries are refusing to go along with the efforts. In December 2023, Italy’s lower and upper chambers of Parliament passed a bill that bans artificial food for public consumption.

The growth of imitation meat and genetically modified crops has caused many health experts as well as concerned citizens and chefs across the world to worry about the future of food and its impact on human beings.

While groups like the World Economic Forum have long touted them as alternatives that can help curb climate change, others argue they are a tool global elites use to seize control of the food chain and poison human beings with toxic ingredients to ensure a sick population so Big Pharma and the medical industry can reap massive profits.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
