In yet another moronic move from the Biden administration, the Pentagon is now throwing taxpayer dollars ($60 million) at alternative protein research, including – wait for it – fungus-based “meats.” Yes, while the world’s most powerful military should be focusing on cutting-edge weapons and logistics, the woke Biden military is prioritizing transforming soldiers’ diets into something resembling a vegan potluck.
According to a report from Just the News, the Department of Defense is funding projects to develop “sustainable” protein sources like fungus. The reasoning? Climate change concerns, of course – to reduce carbon emissions (while Democratic politicians fly all over the country including President Biden who jets off to Delaware every weekend).
Apparently, it’s not enough for troops to be combat-ready; they also need to lower their carbon footprints while dodging bullets.
This idiocy is part of the Biden White House’s “sustainable bioeconomy agenda.”
Let’s face it, no one joins the military dreaming of a breakfast buffet of fungal protein pancakes or mystery-meatless stews. If anything, troops have relied on hearty meals to keep their morale high and energy levels up.
But instead of addressing readiness issues – or even veteran care or military housing – the administration seems more focused on turning MREs into a culinary experiment.
Supporters of this initiative claim it’s all about “sustainability” and ensuring soldiers have access to protein during supply chain disruptions. But most of us out here in the real world know that this is just another woke Biden Administration climate change agenda out-of-touch policy. A policy that will do nothing to reduce carbon emissions or “save” the planet.
The idea of defending the nation while munching on a fungus burger isn’t exactly the morale booster that soldiers are hoping for. One can only imagine the reaction in the field when these “innovations” land in MRE packets.
Not surprisingly, at least one of the companies getting Biden money has a CEO (Paul Shapiro) who has donated to Democratic candidates’ campaigns – The Better Meat Company. Yes, it’s all cyclical with the Democrats. You scratch our back, we scratch yours.
This woke nonsense in the military is exactly the kind of thing that President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, will be working to eliminate – and it’s one of the main reasons the Democrats are so desperate to block his nomination.
