European dairy foods giant Arla is facing a backlash after announcing on X that it is to launch an experimpent in reducing CO2 emissions from cow farts by giving cows on farms involved in the trial a synthetic additive to their feed in an attempt to advance .the push for 'net zero'.
Arla brands including Lurpak butter and Cravendale milk, said it was working with supermarket firms Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi to trial giving cows the additive Bovaer. Thirty of Arla’s 9,000 exclusively contracted farmers will test how the additives can be introduced into normal feeding routines, with the aim of then rolling Bovaer out more broadly.
It is gratifying to contributors of this blog, but certainly a shock to Arla that a seemingly innocuous tweet announcing the project, earlier this week would result in quite so much of a backlash from the public.
The post announced that some of the Danish-Swedish company’s British farmers were teaming up with the food retailers to trial a new feed additive that could significantly reduce methane emissions from dairy cows.
However, the announcement sparked a backlash on social media, with many consumers raising concerns about the use of additives in their groceries. Some went as far as to say they would no longer shop at supermarkets involved in the trial, while others urged the grocers to label any products which may have come from the farms using the additive. Cue social media uproar and the hashtag #BoycottArla going viral.
Bovaer, which is claimed to methane emissions from cows by 27 per cent on average, has been authorised for use in a number of countries, including BRICS member Brazil and neo - fascist dictatorships Australia and Canada. It was given the regulatory clearance for use in the UK last April.
Nevertheless, many social-media posters are incensed that the synthetic feed additive is apparently linked to a similar project backed by the billionaire psychopath, self - appointed fake meat Czar and wannabe Galactic Emperor Bill (Palpatine) Gates – who has invested $$$ millions into technology aimed at reducing methane emissions from cows, has never encountered a sociopathic idea he didn't like and is the madman that launched a thousand conspiracy theories (most of which later truned out to be true.)
The
Microsoft co-founder has frequently spoken out over the environmental
impact of meat production and called for people to switch to consuming
synthetic beef, arguing plant-based alternatives are “the future”. University droput Gates is unqualified to comment on such topics, having no qualifications in medicine or science (he was studying law when he quit university,) and he never worked in Information Technology either, having been given a contract to deliver an operating systemfor the new IBM PC in highly dubious circumstances before abandoning his studies to found Microsoft.
In January 2023, Gates said there were two paths to solving the emissions created by cows, who “burp and fart methane to an extreme degree.”
“You can either fix the cows to stop them doing that or you can make beef without the cow. Both of those will be pursued to see which one can lead to the best product in terms of taste, health and cost,” he told the Lowy Institute, a think tank based in Sydney. His comments came the same month as Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which Mr Gates founded in 2015, plunged $12 million of investment into Rumin8, an Australian start-up attempting to reduce emissions from cow burps by feeding them a dietary supplement synthetically replicated from seaweed.
Gates' lab grown meat startup has already failed when people who tried his lab - grown steaks and burgers described them as foul tasing, disgusting slime.
He is also involved in efforts to market protein rich food products made from insects. We hear that is not going well either.
Arla defended Bovaer stting the experimental product had been found to reduce methane emissions from cows by around 27pc.Supermatket chains Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi, the bosses of which obviously put virtue signalling ahead of customer welfare said it was a “great way of testing out where we can drive change at scale to bring down emissions”.
The subversive, intellectually-infeasible lie
that cows are responsible for a significant portion of climate change is
one of the, most malevolent lies in history, used to
make u look away from where the pollution and shenanigans really
occurring! The fact that Gates is again involved with efforts to re-engineer complex systems
of biology mean that this is a monumental scam that will only “work” in cooperation with some kind of scaremongerin marketing campaign! (Natural food causes cancer is our bet.)
Independent scientists, sceptical of all claims made by the net zero nutters lobby point out that dairy pasture land traps so much CO2 in the soil that any methane emissions are negligible. When that biomass depletes the land turns to dust. US government policy proved that by wiping out millions of Bison then 50 years later suffering the 1930s Mid West Dust Bowl disaster. The only reason to use chemicals in the food of dairy cattle is to make possible the keeping of cows in sheds as milk factories. Shame on Big Agriculture and the hyper processed food industry. What could possibly go wrong with introducing another synthetic additive into animal feed and possibly disrupting with cows' digestive systems?

Scientists Caught Out In Another Fraud, Red Meat Does Not Cause Cancer
It should not come as a surprise to regular readers but I think most scientists are idiots, they fill their heads with book learning and theory and lose tough with reality. And as for cosmologists and theoretical physicists, well their Reality Quotient only registers in the negative zone of the index. But it's the food fascism scientists that really make me angry
The Best foods for protien are not those you have been told.
Another group of scientists proved to be crooks and liars interested more in promoiting the profits or corporations that provide their funding? Well that's the way it looks as evidence mounts that intensively farmed produce, particularly meat and dairy goods are not as rich in nutrients as when our ancestors ate meat and milk or cheese from naturally grazed cattle or eggs from free range hens.
Pasty Wars: Osborne's War On Pies Is War On The NorthThere is a growing cultural gap in Britain. When hapless Cancellor George Osborne delivered his budget for 2012 the effete southern media tried to stip up a controversty about the so called ganny tax. But here in the nothern heartlands, the true England, what pissed us off was Osborne's attempt to tax our hot pies.
Norwegians Rebel Against Fat PoliceWe frequently report of the activities of the Politically Correct Thought Police Food Fascist Squad and their incessant wars on tasty food, fat, salt and sugar. It is great for one to be able to report on a nation not far from us culturally of geographically that is staging a fightback against the control freaks.
Killer Red Meat Rport Was Faked By Health FascistsThe highly sensationalised research reported lkast week that identiufied red meat as a killer in our diet used manipulated data to distort the statistics, analysts have said. Good quality lean red meat in moderation (like anything else) does no harm. It is processed meat that causes problems. And who invented the processes that put the poison in our meat? Those conniving scientists of course.
Limp Wristed Vegetarian Nazi Scientists Want To Take Away Your SteakScientists Warn 'Red Meat Can Be Lethal', it is not only unhealthy but can increase the risk of death, according to a major US study.Now you quickly get to the nature of this science in the line above. "can increase the risk of death". Unscientific, scaremongering BOLLOCKS. We are all going to die, forget the delusional belief among scientists that they can immunise us against death, nobody lives for ever. So the risk of death is 100%, it cannot get any higher, it will not get any lower. Therefore you should read reports of this type of research with ...
Frying Pan FascistsNanny State and the food fascists who work for her have yelled at us about cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and idleness. Now these sad, busybody bansturbators are getting on our case about fat and fried food. But natural fat is not dangerous, only too much fat and the wronmg kind of fat is dangerous. And what is the wrong kind of fat. The highly procressed low fat spreads the bansturbators are always teling us is healthy. Science my arse.

The Mad Scientists Mania For Genetically Modifying Everything
Genetically Modified (GM) organisms? The science is setttled right, the only way to feed the world's growing population is to accept GM foods and hand control of the human food chain to some of the nastiest, most fascistic corporate busineses on earth, right? Well fortunately it is not as clear cut as that, independent research shows GM crops do not give increased yields and do pose very significant risks for humans, wildlife and the environment.
World Health Chiefs Say ‘Red Meat As Likely to Cause Cancer as Smoking’
Another way of looking at this article of course is to say that it is an admission by the WHO that cigarette smoking does not cause cancer, which while true is a dangerous thing to say because after non stop anti - tobacco propaganda for the past fifty years, such a statement would be open to being interpreted as meaning cigarette smoking does no harm.
Food health fascism: Salt, Sugar, Saturated Fat, Alcohol, Cheese, Fizzy Drinks, Chocloate, ... if you enjoy it, it will kill you - maybe.
We are all familiar with those health scare stories that seem to pop up in mainstream media at least once a week claiming this that or the other will kill us. Few people spot the irony in that a few days earlier the same sensationalist rag will have carried a story under a similar screaming headline, claiming that scientists have found the stuff being demonised is in fact good for us ...
After Cigarettes and Alcohol, The Government Plans Sugar Tax
The election may have put a Conservative government in power and consigned the pokenoses and busybodies of Labour and the Lib Dems to the political wilderness, but the bansturbators of the public sector march on, their war against pleasure, laughter, tasty food and anything that might put people at risk of enjoying themselves continuing unabated it seems.

And you'll have to forgive us if I'm for being unimpressed with the governments' approval of it. Call us conspiracy theorists if you like, but how long it will be before the cows start keeling over from undefined, mysterious, digestive system related illnesses that leave vets baffled?
On the plus side, when the cows have died/been killed off, all that wasteful farmland can be used for lots more lovely solar farms. Then we can all live on Bill Gates' mashed insects and lab grown meat.
