Meat, Science, and Who Gets to Decide What We Eat?
The exact phrase “Meat will be a rare treat” is most directly attributable to Marika King, who was head of Paulig’s PINC innovation center.
PINC (Paulig Incubator) is the corporate venture capital and innovation arm of Paulig Group, is an international food and beverage company, growing a new, sustainable food culture – one that is good for both people and the planet. Paulig provides all things tasty: Tex Mex, Snacks, coffees, World Foods and spices. The company's brands are Paulig, Santa Maria, Risenta, Poco Loco and Zanuy. Paulig also has a successful Customer Brands business containing value brands, private labels and industrial products. In 2024, the company’s sales amounted to approximately EUR 1.2 billion. Paulig was founded in 1876 and is 100% owned by the Paulig family. The company has 2,500 passionate employees in 13 different countries working on our purpose - For a life full of flavour.
In a 2019 Paulig interview about food trends in 2030, King said:
“Meat will become a rare treat. In the future, it will be considered a luxury which is only to be eaten on special occasions.”
Paulig’s accompanying summary likewise stated: “Meat will be a rare treat for special occasions.”
What About the World Economic Forum?
You may have seen this quote attributed to the World Economic Forum (WEF). There is a widely circulated claim that the WEF said “Meat will be a rare treat” as part of its agenda for 2030. However, I would not attribute that exact statement to the WEF without qualification.
The phrase appears in various discussions of the WEF’s 2016 “8 Predictions for the World in 2030” video, but the wording and attribution have been repeatedly conflated online.
That distinction matters. When discussing the future of food, agriculture, and meat consumption, it is important to identify who actually made a particular statement rather than attributing it to a prominent organization without sufficient evidence.
Bill Gates and Cultivated Meat
Another claim that has circulated is that Bill Gates’ “synthetic meats” have been approved for consumption in America and Africa.
Bill Gates has invested in companies developing alternative and cultivated meats, including Memphis Meats, now known as Upside Foods, as well as other companies involved in alternative proteins.
Cultivated meat has been authorized for commercial sale in the United States. In 2023, the FDA completed pre-market consultations for cultivated chicken products from UPSIDE Foods and GOOD Meat, followed by USDA authorization for their products.
It is important to note that the FDA’s pre-market consultation is not technically an “approval” process. Rather, the FDA determined that it had no further questions regarding the companies’ conclusions about the safety of their products.
As of 2026, additional cultivated products have received U.S. regulatory clearance, including cultivated pork fat, salmon, and chicken products.
The claim that such products have been approved throughout “Africa” is another matter. Africa is a continent made up of numerous countries, each with its own regulatory systems. Regulations concerning meat analogues or alternative proteins in an individual African country should not be characterized as continent-wide approval of Bill Gates’ cultivated meat.
There is also an important distinction between plant-based meat alternatives and cultivated meat.
Plant-based products are generally made from ingredients such as soy, peas, or other plants. Cultivated meat, by contrast, is produced from animal cells grown under controlled conditions.
A more accurate statement would be:
“Bill Gates has invested in companies developing cultivated and alternative meats. Cultivated meat has received U.S. regulatory authorization for sale, but it is inaccurate to say that Bill Gates’ synthetic meat has been approved for consumption in America and parts of Africa.”

Now the most ridiculous thing in all of this is that they reason they justify producing synthetics is cow farts! Wow and people believe it! GOD created meat and said it is good for food and people take man's word over GOD's!
Who Decides What Is Safe?
This brings us to a much larger question: Who should Americans trust when it comes to food, science, and public health?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans were repeatedly told to “trust the science.” Yet it was the U.S. Surgeon General’s responsibility to serve as the nation’s leading public-health voice and help guide Americans through a public-health crisis of this magnitude.
Instead, much of the nation’s attention during the COVID-19 crisis centered on Dr. Anthony Fauci, who became one of the most recognizable public faces of the federal pandemic response.
Did Fauci teach us anything?
Perhaps one of the most important lessons is that Americans should ask questions, demand transparency, and expect accountability from those entrusted with protecting the public’s health.
Today, similar questions are emerging around food technology, agriculture, climate policy, and cultivated meat.
The Democratic Party and the World Economic Forum, along with other influential institutions and individuals, have helped elevate figures such as Bill Gates as influential voices in discussions about the future of food, agriculture, health, and sustainability. Gates has no formal education in these fields; however, he has been allowed to become a spokesman and a resident expert on these matters. He has also invested in companies developing alternative and cultivated meats, raising questions about his role and financial interests in the emerging synthetic-food market. This makes his involvement worthy of public scrutiny and raises questions about whether additional review by the FDA is warranted.
Gates has gone from building an operating system in a garage to becoming one of the world’s most influential figures in technology, philanthropy, agriculture, and global health. His influence is enormous. But does that automatically make him an authority whom the public should simply trust?
And what about his documented association with Jeffrey Epstein? Gates has acknowledged that his relationship with Epstein was a serious mistake, and he has faced renewed scrutiny following the release of additional Epstein-related documents. Gates testified before Congress in June 2026 about his relationship with Epstein and said that Epstein attempted to use compromising information about his personal life to pressure him.
Bill Gates and Groff Transcripts. Jun 11, 2026 — Bill Gates told members of Congress that he "did not fully understand the extent" of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes when he associated with the — WASHINGTON— Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released the transcript from Bill Gates's transcribed interview as ...Read more (Reuters)
That history does not, by itself, establish wrongdoing by Gates in connection with Epstein. But it does raise legitimate questions about judgment, influence, accountability, and the standards applied to individuals who are given significant influence over public policy and public opinion.
The larger question remains: Why should Americans automatically trust any individual simply because political leaders, corporations, institutions, or media organizations present that person as an expert?
During COVID-19, Americans were told to follow the science. We should have learned that trust must be earned through transparency, evidence, open debate, and accountability—not demanded simply because someone is selected to a position of authority.
The Rising Cost of Food
Meanwhile, Americans are facing another very tangible concern: the rising cost of food and dining.
By: Youtube Blogger
Restaurant prices have gone sky-high for many consumers, putting additional pressure on household budgets. At the same time, Americans are seeing more plant-based and other alternative-protein products appearing on store shelves and restaurant menus.
Are these changes simply the result of consumer demand and technological innovation, or are economic, regulatory, environmental, and political pressures also influencing the direction of the food industry?
The growth of alternative proteins does not, by itself, prove that conventional meat is being deliberately replaced. But it does raise legitimate questions about where our food system is headed.
Will consumers continue to have the freedom to choose the foods they want, or will economic and policy decisions gradually narrow those choices?
The synthetics are taking over—or at least, that is how it can feel to consumers watching the traditional food system change around them.
These are questions worth asking.
