Health Canada has approved lab-grown beef and pork, and they don't even have to tell us what kind of meat it's made of. What does this mean for our right to know what's on our plates and our freedom to choose what we want to eat?
00:00:41.920This isn't an accident. This was always the plan.
00:00:45.520And once you see how all of this connects, you'll understand why your freedom to choose what you want to eat and your right to know what's on your plate goes directly against their plans for total control.
00:01:01.120To understand what the Canadian government is trying to do here and just how messed up this is, you got to go back a couple months ago when they tried to push cloned meat on the Canadian population without their knowledge.
00:01:12.800Meat from cloned animals will soon be hitting grocery store shelves, and new Health Canada regulations will not require meat producers to label whether the beef or pork is coming from a cloned animal.
00:01:24.280We have heard of cloned situations in the past, but now they're hitting the grocery store shelves.
00:01:31.260Well, I think a lot of people are concerned.
00:01:35.180About two weeks ago, we were hearing from different industry leaders that Health Canada was going to move ahead, considering the offsprings of cloned animals, not the cloned animals per se, to be sold without any labels, without any risk assessment whatsoever.
00:01:54.140And also, Health Canada doesn't intend to send out a press release to let Canadians know.
00:02:02.560So there's a lot of unknowns here, and I think a lot of Canadians are caught by surprise.
00:02:08.980And if you look at social media right now, a lot of people are a little upset by the fact that these products aren't going to be labeled at all.
00:02:17.500So you and I won't know whether or not the product actually is coming from cloning whatsoever.
00:02:23.920So this was a couple of months back in November.
00:02:26.960There was the whole discussion with the government of Canada pushing cloned meat, basically lab-grown meat, on the population without their knowledge.
00:02:37.140The government's argument was that this meat is no different from regular meat.
00:03:03.080People have a right to know what's on their plate.
00:03:06.200But of course, they wanted to sell this meat without any sort of labels.
00:03:11.080So when you go to the grocery store and you pick up a roast or a steak, if you can afford it, you won't know if this is cloned meat or meat grown in a lab.
00:03:19.280And the thing with the whole lab-grown meat, cloned meat, genetically modified meat, is that this stuff is looking more and more like the real deal.
00:04:04.020And if they're unwilling to do something as simple as labeling it, they're not willing to put a label on it, what else are they not telling you?
00:04:11.900And so this is the story out of Canada right here.
00:04:15.100The university deciding that they're not going to serve beef to their students anymore.
00:04:38.020It always starts with one university, then it's a group of universities, then it's all universities, then it becomes government policy, and then it becomes the law.
00:04:49.500So this is the news article as of January 27th.
00:04:53.360Polytechnique Montreal removes beef from cafeteria menus to cut emissions.
00:04:59.840A Montreal engineering school says it has removed beef from its cafeterias to reduce its carbon footprint.
00:05:06.980Polytechnique Montreal started removing beef options in September from its six food stalls that serve about 2,500 meals a day to 10,000 students.
00:05:18.380Patrick Zigana, director of Polytechnique's Office of Sustainable Development, said beef accounted for more than half of the cafeteria's greenhouse gas emissions.
00:05:58.780Canadian and UK companies applied to bring products made from virus-resistant pigs to market.
00:06:06.140So not only have they started banning beef at universities, they've now approved gene-edited pigs.
00:06:13.740And of course, Health Canada says that they're safe for consumption.
00:06:17.500And here we have another tweet from the food professor.
00:06:19.500And once again, without public notice or meaningful explanation, Health Canada has cleared a food technology that remains poorly understood by consumers.
00:06:30.960In recent days, the agency approved the sale of gene-edited pork in Canada without any labeling requirements.
