Meat consumption?
1) So I was curious why there was this sudden push to cut meat, particularly beef consumption, it seemed to come out of nowhere, so I did a little research, a thread:
- 2) The study cited is done by the World Research Institute. What is the WRI you ask? WRI’s misson to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth’s environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations.
- 3) Now here's where we get to the good stuff. WRI's Co-Chair is David Blood. David Blood is former Goldman Sachs' Asset Management head who founded Generation Investment Management with Al Gore, yes that Al Gore.
- 4) Generation Investment Management just happens to be aligned with a firm called Kleiner Perkins, who just happens to count one Al Gore as one of their partners and advisors, and Kleiner Perkins just happens to be @BeyondMeat 's biggest investor.
- 5) All these "We need to cut beef consumption to save the planet" stories originate from the World Resources Institute whose co-chair is a partner in the firm that collaborates w/ the main investor in @BeyondMeat and his co-founder is a partner in the main investor.
