Nestlé rolls out Fake Milk ("Wunda") made from yellow peas to be sold in Europe.
Nestlé says the product was created in just six months (but hey, I guess that's longer than they spent on experimental injections...), after seeing “strong double-digit sales growth” in its plant brands in 2020 including plant-based ground beef, plant-based tuna, plant-based candy, and others.

Air pollution from animal agriculture KILLS 12,700 PEOPLE EACH YEAR !
"Animal ag is dirty and dangerous and must be stopped..."
Air pollution from food production in the United States is linked to an estimated 15,900 premature deaths each year, according to a new study published Monday in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
Of those, an estimated 12,700 deaths -- around 80% -- are connected to production of animal-based foods.

Animal Rebellion is at again! No meat, no cheese!

Animal rights activists block McDonald’s distribution centres in UK, demanding 100% ‘plant-based’ menu
An animal rights organisation known as Animal Rebellion attempted to shut down McDonald’s distribution centres in the UK with bamboo structures, vans, and other obstacles, demanding that the company go completely vegan.
The organisation announced on Saturday that around 50 activists were blocking four distribution centres in Coventry, Basingstoke, Heywood, and Hemel Hempstead, and would continue to do so for at least 24 hours.
Videos show the activists hanging from bamboo structures in front of the gates as one woman issued the demand that McDonald’s “go plant-based immediately.” A McDonald’s sign and burger sculpture were also drenched in blood by the activists, while placards protested the fast food company’s use of both meat and dairy – signalling that a plant-based menu could not include burger staples like cheese.

New Dutch animal law ENDS livestock -- and keeping pets! - by 2023:
'This new law, introduced by the Party for the Animals, provides that from 1 January 2023, animals may no longer experience pain or discomfort if they are kept in a stable, pen or cage. "
The law is not only about livestock - such as chickens, pigs and cows - but also about pets. "You can also think of the lonely rabbit in the hutch in the backyard or the bird in the cage," says Bas Rodenburg, professor of animal welfare at Utrecht University. According to the new law, animals must be able to display natural behaviour: pens, stables and cages must be adapted accordingly.
"A rabbit is now often alone in a pen, while they are actually very social animals," says Rodenburg. "That also applies to parakeets and other birds, which naturally have a lot of freedom of movement." It could also be the case that cats should always be given the opportunity to go outside.
Rodenburg questions the feasibility: "The question is whether the law can be enforced." Last April, Minister Schouten advised against the amendment of the law. Nevertheless, a majority in the House of Representatives agreed. The Senate also agreed last week: the senate dismissed it as a hammering piece.
Parties in parliament are now concerned. "Can we still walk dogs on a leash or should we give them the freedom to eat the neighbor's cat?" asks CDA MP Derk Boswijk. VVD, CDA, SGP and BBB also fear disastrous consequences for livestock farming in the Netherlands.
Minister Schouten says that her ministry is 'analyzing' what the adopted law will mean in practice. "The law is worded very openly," she says. "Within you have to look at what is and what is not possible." According to Schouten, for example, it is difficult to determine exactly what the natural behavior of animals is.

Nieuwe dierenwet legt bom onder veehouderij en houden huisdieren
Konijnen en vogels mogen vanaf 2023 mogelijk niet meer in een hok of kooi worden gehouden. Dat is het gevolg van een nieuwe dierenwet, die vorige week geruisloos is aangenomen door de Eerste Kamer. Minister Carola Schouten (Landbouw) zit ermee in haar maag.
Milk made from pineapple and cabbage — something no human would have ever dreamed of pouring into their breakfast cereal. The product, called NotMilk, uses more than a dozen ingredients, including chicory root fiber, coconut oil and pea protein, to make what the packaging calls a “plant-based milk alternative.” Featured on the carton: a drawing of a cow crossed out in black — erased.
Sold at Whole Foods in the United States, NotMilk will reach nearly 3,000 U.S. grocery stores this year, in addition to being available in Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. Investors include Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, which owns Whole Foods. (Bezos owns The Washington Post.) NotCo also makes plant-based mayonnaise, ice cream and burgers using the same base technology.
(YES you read that right -- Bezos funds the Not Company -- AND sells their products at WholeFoods)

India: Peta behind campaign to take control of Indian dairy industry, says Amul MD RS Sodhi
Amul MD RS Sodhi has hit out at Peta India over its letter saying that the cooperative organisation should venture into production of plant-based milk. The controversy began when Peta India and some others moved the ASCI against Amul's ad that claimed that only cattle milk is real milk. After ASCI settled the matter in favour of Amul, Peta India shot off a letter to Amul, saying that plant-based milk like soya milk and almond milk is gaining in popularity world-wide, and that Amul should join the business rather than campaign against it. Reacting to the letter Amul MD says that plant-based milk is based on vegetable oil in which chemicals are added as stabilisers and emuslifiers. The vitamins in these products are also added in form of chemicals, said RS Sodhi.

Jim Mellon predicts the end of animal and dairy farming
Jim Mellon is a billionaire investor, a businessman, a philanthropist and an author of several prominent books. He also shows the ability to successfully identify emerging global trends.
To give us a bit of background to his new book and the 'New Agrarian Revolution', Mellon mentions the pandemic. "Where did that pandemic come from? Probably from food malpractice in the Far East. Where will the next pandemic come from? Probably food malpractice in the Far East". Mitigating future pandemics is one of the reasons he thinks that in the next ten years, "half of the world's meat will be plant-based" or from "cell-based agriculture where the meat is produced in laboratories".

Jim Mellon predicts the end of animal and dairy farming
Billionaire and philanthropist, Jim Mellon, discusses his new book, the prospect of an agrarian revolution and how we can be healthier in old age.
In late August, 89 Northeast organic dairy farmers were informed by Danone that their contracts with Horizon Organic, which the French-based company owns, will be terminated in August 2022. The affected farms in New York, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire are part of a larger trend of decline in small dairy farms driven by milk pricing and consolidation.
The Mehurens have been shipping their milk to Horizon since 2008, when they transitioned the dairy to organic. Their 45 registered Holsteins produce around 2,700 pounds of milk a day, and they also raise beef animals and a handful of sheep.
“It’s a pretty big deal for a processor to withdraw from an entire region,” Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) executive director Sarah Alexander recently told the Lewiston Sun Journal as MOFGA, along with eight other organic farming organizations, sent two petitions to Danone.
“It’s potentially devastating for those farms that have lost their contracts with few if any alternate buyers,” says Katie Baildon, policy co-ordinator for Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY), another organization that sponsored the petition. “It’s also a loss for the communities that no longer have access to local organic milk.”

‘Perfect storm’ of issues behind latest price hike causing pain at the supermarket checkout

“Dairy is becoming more expensive to make, with farmers slugged by skyrocketing prices when it comes to things like grain and fertiliser.

On October 28, Market Realist was one of the early reporters of a nationwide cream cheese shortage. Fast forward to December, the shortage has become a full-fledged crisis, making headlines on CNN, Food & Wine, NBC and more. Supply chains are unable to determine when stock will be replenished. Most affected are New York City bagel shops and grocery stores with the exception of Black Seed Bagels, an artisan bagel shop led by James Beard-nominated executive chef and head baker, Dianna Daoheung. Black Seed partners with Spero® Foods, also a woman-owned business, that makes cream cheese out of organic sunflower seeds.
If the name Spero® sounds familiar, the company was recently featured on The Today Show, TED, Forbes, Fast Company, and is the 3rd Fastest Growing Plant-Based Cheese in the US (SPINS). Led by engineer-scientist Phaedra, Spero® is a plant-based dairy Company that makes dairy alternatives from seeds.

South Europe fears livestock culls as Ukraine conflict prompts feed shortage
Ukraine is a major global supplier of animal feed, stocks of which are falling fast across import-reliant southern Europe. With Hungary, Serbia and Moldova also banning exports as they safeguard their own supplies, costs for farms like Ferrari's have spiked, threatening their future. Many face culling animals if the situation doesn't improve quickly.
"I hear growing reports of farmers slaughtering their animals, but I want to avoid that," said Elisabetta Quaini, who keeps 1,300 cows for beef and milk production on her farm in Lombardy, northern Italy. "I'm determined to keep going, but I am very worried."
"It's not just corn, it's also soya and numerous by-products that are hard to find. There is a tremendous fight to get hold of what is available."
Michele Liverini, vice-president of livestock feed producer Mangimi Liverini S.p.A., said if dairy cows were slaughtered it would take seven to eight years to build up a barn to produce milk again.

France: milk shortages feared
The president of the largest farmers' union in France has warned that a shortage of feedstock caused by severe drought may lead to a milk shortage.
