While government officials often worry about the next election and make sure to hurl a few accusations at their opponents, for the World Economic Forum, their discussions often revolve around the future, what it might look like, and what it will take to get humanity there. Just throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the WEF made headlines for discussing the COVID-19 drug, technology that can hack the body, and how the population must greatly decrease if humanity wants to continue forward. With many warning about the WEF and the ‘Great Reset’ they hope to initiate, it appears that one of their suggestions is now becoming a reality.
Back in September of 2019, the WEF published an article about alternative methods for feeding people. For years now, governments and experts have warned about food shortages, and now Aldi, a budget supermarket, is considering introducing edible insect cooking recipes to their shoppers in hopes of battling rising meat costs and families struggling to feed their kids.
According to The Daily Mail, the idea is so promising to Aldi they are producing a show about it called “Aldi’s Next Big Thing.” The outlet described the show, “hosted by Anita Rani, of Countryfile and BBC Radio 4 and Chris Bavin, of Britain’s Best Home Cook and Eat Well for Less, the six-part TV series sees suppliers compete in categories such as dinners, baked goods, treats and store cupboard essentials. Products are presented to Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, who deliberates on factors such as price, packaging, shopper demand, and the ability to scale up before whittling contestants down to just two. The finalists are then given four weeks to address any feedback before presenting improved products to Julie, who decides which product will appear as a Specialbuy in over 970 stores.”
