ROME, Italy (PNN) - November 28, 2023 - Italy this month became the first country in the world to ban fake food in defiance of a massive globalist push to phase out meat and dairy for “climate change”.

On November 16, Italy’s Parliament voted 159–53 to ban the use, sale, import, or export of food and feed "from cell cultures or tissue derived from vertebrate animals,” reported Reuters. Companies in violation face fines of up to 150,000 euros ($162,700), risk being shut down, and can be restricted from public funding for three years.

The bill also bans companies from using meat references when selling plant-based alternatives. Marketing a product as “tofu steak,” for instance, would violate the new law.

“Italy is the world’s first country safe from the social and economic risks of synthetic food,” said Italian Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida.

“In defense of health, of the Italian production system, of thousands of jobs, and of our culture and tradition, with the law approved today, Italy is the first nation in the world to be safe from the social and economic risks of synthetic food,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

The Meloni regime’s support for the legislation is a snub at the globalist agenda, which seeks to replace animal products on shelves with synthetic food to “fight climate change”. The extremist Marxist World Economic Forum (WEF) has long encouraged the consumption of fake meat, promoting companies such as Eat Just, which manufactures lab-grown meat, eggs, and other foods. Eat Just is in part funded by fascist globalist billionaire Bill Gates, who demands that what he calls “rich nations” must switch completely to lab-grown food.

Some European countries have already embraced lab-grown meat. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, sells synthetic meat products manufactured by Beyond Meat on shelves in over 1,600 stores. Countries like the Netherlands have already begun closing farms because of their contribution to “climate change”.

The idea of climate change has already been shown to be false and manufactured by tyrannical governments and extreme Marxist organizations seeking to use the debunked and untrue claim of climate change to socially engineer the world so that they can rule it.

Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, however, counted farmers as one of the main reasons to ban fake food.

"We could only celebrate with our farmers a measure that puts our farmers in the vanguard, not just on the issue of defending excellence, but also in defending consumers," she said concerning the bill earlier this year.

The legislation follows another law passed by Meloni’s regime requiring that all food items that contain insects be labeled as such.

Fascist and Marxist Globalist Western powers, along with the extreme Marxist WEF, have been pushing public consumption of insects - again to battle the nonexistent problem of “climate change” - as a healthy source of protein.

In January the dictatorial Marxist European Union approved the use of cricket powder in major processed foods sold to the public.

In fascist Australia, children are fed crickets as a snack and conditioned to enjoy them. Frontline News reported in September that 1,000 Australian schools have added chips containing crickets to their canteens, which fascist Australian media have falsely labeled “eco-friendly”.

The tyrannical fascist Canada government has invested C$8.5 million ($6.5 million) in a new production plant that will produce cricket protein for pet and human food. The facility, located in London, Ontario, is expected to house four billion crickets and produce 13 million kilograms (14,300 tons) of cricket protein per year.

“The government has presented four inter-ministerial decrees that will introduce information labels on products that contain or derive from insects. Citizens must be able to choose consciously and be informed from every point of view,” Meloni tweeted in late March.

According to the Financial Times, Meloni expressed her disgust for insect consumption.

“Insect products are arriving on supermarket shelves. Flour, larvae - good, delicious,” she said sarcastically in a recent video. “But when a product contains insects, we tell citizens with a nice visible label so they can choose whether or  not to eat insects.”
