THREAD 2 -LARGE INVESTORS

The #vegan option promises a new market horizon to a corporate system in need of expansion. In addition to novel product lines developed by transnational companies, business operations are launched as ambitious tech #startups.

 #SiliconValley & other large investors are attracted in support of a model that will activate supply chains, market speculations, & trade wars over what are expected to be the resources of the future.

https://t.co/OcuGmKax6v
Financial #speculation has become key to overcome the stagnation tendencies of global markets. Global money management can be narrowed down to some 17 financial giants, collectively managing >$40 trillion in a self-invested network of interlocking capital.
This evolution is bound to come with geopolitical implications related to resource control & international trade, triggering interest of global power centers (e.g. @CFR_org). For instance, most of what goes into vegan burgers is now produced by #China. https://t.co/9v29KMApHp
Many wish to conquer that same space. The Canadian company Verdient is intending to become North America's largest organic pea protein plant. https://t.co/PygX0NaDO4
As an aside, one of the investors in Verdient is James Cameron, who is also the producer of the pro-vegan movie '#TheGameChangers' (2018), adding to the noise. https://t.co/Ru2h8i4cCk
From a similar perspective, #land is a crucial resource. >$90 billion has been invested in 78 countries for buying up >74 million acres of farmland in the last decade, leading to mass corporate farming for export, to the detriment of indigenous farmers. https://t.co/bJjnNvboSy
Besides the Future of Food, the big players are interested in #climatechange investing, i.e. the financialization & commodification of natural resources, using narratives of 'carbon credits', 'conservation', 'afforestation' & 'protected areas'. https://t.co/YbugZSA8Wn
The latter brings us to the recurrent slogan that cattle takes up "too much land".

Are cows standing in the way of the #GreatFoodTransformation and the #NewDealForNature?

https://t.co/mu8RWjGkTq
Predictions that refer to the #collapse of animal agriculture are aggressively pushed by consulting firms [e.g., @kearney 2020] to generate interest from large investors, many of which also have an ideological agenda. https://t.co/iw95RuLDnp
The usual suspects are keen on entering the arena, not only including Bill Gates & Richard Branson, but also companies within BigMeat such as Tyson & Cargill.

https://t.co/w2O9LhmCHL
FAIRR is an investor company of which the membership & wider supporting network comprises institutional investors managing $25 trillion in combined assets. It was founded in 2015 by Jeremy Coller, who is a vegan and wishes to 'end factory farming'. https://t.co/7v38b0MlL9
Coller also has a seat on the advisory board of the Good Food Institute, a well-connected lobby group for 'plant-based' startups & vegan agendas. https://t.co/4oyRzaE1qs
On that same advisory board, we also find the Saudi prince Khaled bin Alwaleed (son of Saudi Arabia's top investor, prince Alwaleed bin Talal). He is the founder/CEO of KBW Ventures/Investments and a funder of vegan tech companies. https://t.co/3s29OlheL0
In 2020, KBW Ventures invested in the largest funding moment ($161 million) in the history of the cell-based meat industry, together with Richard Branson, Bill Gates, & others.

https://t.co/IY4kaCevyu
When financial opportunities & ideology meet: the prince has referred to dairy as the 'root of environmental evil'. https://t.co/UN1WeHfmMd
He is a known enthusiast of the #GreatFoodTransformation. In 2018, he met with EAT's founder & several 'vegan leaders' with ties to the Good Food Institute at the UN Headquarters to discuss 'Next Generation Solutions for a World in Transition' https://t.co/0tnMlsWvaF
On EAT's Advisory Board, we find a director of @blackrock, the world's largest shadow bank, with >$5 trillion assets under management, directly influencing investment strategy for $15 trillion. This sheds an interesting light on the #FoodCanFixIt concept. https://t.co/5MvDtfiYUE
Also on EAT's Advisory Board, founder of @RethinkX, which analyzes & forecasts technology-driven market disruptions. With the usual hyperbole, it claims that 'precision fermentation protein' will bring the meat & dairy industries to '#collapse' by #2030. https://t.co/mG6Axq2CR6
The "collapse" narrative is a frequent one within the larger network of the #GreatFoodTransformation. "Death spiral" is another one.
Such radical change requires social engineering. Strategies have been developed by WRI. Note that latter's Board of Directors is dominated by representatives from Big Finance. Its co-chair is David Blood, former Asset Management director of @GoldmanSachs. https://t.co/OCdQ42F000
Together with Al Gore (ex-WRI Board), Blood founded Generation Investment Management in 2004. Gore's climate groups have invested $200 million in Beyond Meat, while a shift to meat alternatives is promoted by organizations to which he is connected. https://t.co/X2LgFOW6gt
General Investment is also aligned with @kleinerperkins, which is one of Beyond Meat's largest investors & has Al Gore as a partner and advisor. https://t.co/MIhLuc0kmV

Most popular dishes of lockdown 2020

Street food lovers were the most distraught ones during the lockdown, especially those who are hardcore pani puri lovers. Many people satiated their gol gappa cravings by making them at home.


With all our go-to pizza joints closed, homemade pizza was the only solution to our cravings.


Another street food that most of us missed was the crispy hot samosa. So, why not try them at home? Just prepare some potato stuffing, roll out the dough, fill the stuffing, give the shape of a samosa and fry.


The combo of Samosa and Jalebi makes the perfect pair. Hot and syrup loaded jalebis were another dish that most people tried at their homes

This lunch is 500 yen ($4.80) at Sukiya, a Japanese fast food restaurant which belongs to a category with about three big competitors.

I love the aesthetics of this category and they’re under remarked upon.


I think people underestimate QSRs in terms of social utility, but Sukiya et al describe themselves as mission-oriented enterprises. I believe this is largely sincere, and goes back to the 60s and 70s, when the clientele was primarily manual laborers who had migrated to work.

Japan was not a rich nation at the time, and day laborers in particular were both unlikely to be able to cook for themselves and unlikely to have much of a food budget, and so the chains sprung up offering an honest-to-goodness cooked meal delivered in under a minute for cheap.

This heritage continued over the years, even after Japan became a much more wealthy nation, and these chains function as social support and dignity for folks in diminished circumstances.

They also are a wee bit of a cartel, and I appreciate the aesthetics of the cartel:

Back when I was first in Japan, in the mid 2000s, there was an increase in the price of beef.

And the heads of the three chains got together, and decided that the price of the basic beef bowl needed to increase, but given the economic circumstances how could they hold the line.

I’m clearly feeling slightly better as I’ve just spent a good ten minutes being furious about all the wrong trifles on the internet.

Excuse me, BBC Good Food?


This is an abomination.


There should be trials at The Hague for these.

Ever notice how the top niches are centered around health, wealth, and relationships?

There's a deep-rooted psychological (and biological) reason why.

And today, I'm gonna to explain all of it so you can start profiting off of this knowledge 💰💰

*Now, this thread is going to be long and in depth. Make sure to favorite the top tweet now so you can come back to it later.

So. Down to the very core of every living being (humans, dolphins, bacteria, aliens), there are only two drivers:
1. To survive
2. To reproduce

Right off the bat, we know that sex is a primary driver to human behavior.

This would also mean that each gender has its own insecurities regarding sex.

Men have a subconscious fear that their woman will leave them for someone more successful

Women have a fear that their man will leave them for someone younger & better-looking

We can conclude that men are attracted to looks, and women are attracted to status.

This is human nature down to its very core.

Crazy, blue-haired feminists will try to argue and say otherwise.

But, 50 years of feminism DOES NOT OVERRIDE millions of years of evolutionary biology.

Here's a quick visualization exercise so you can see how true all this is...

A lot of bootstrappers think they have a marketing problem:

"I need to get better at marketing."

But, it's more likely that you have a product problem:

"Do customers really want this? Do they care enough about this to switch to a new solution?"

☝️ this is why most of my book, @marketingdevs, is about:

1. Choosing the right market
2. Building something they want

"If your product is remarkable, getting noticed is a lot easier." – @peldi


I was reminded of this concept again this morning while reading @pjrvs' book (Company of One):

"Sales increase when you honestly evaluate what someone needs and then teach them the value of what you're selling."


To succeed, your product has to offer an outcome that is highly desirable to a large group of customers.

The number of sales your product receives is a multiple of these two variables:

1. How big is the target market?
2. How desirable is the outcome you're offering them?

12 Azhwars (Alwars)

The 12 Azhwars, (the Main composers of Naalayira Divya Prabandam - 4000 poetic Rhymes) are known as Nityasuris or Divyasuris; those who reside permanently with the Lord in His Heavenly abode.


They have incarnated as Azhwars -Vasihnavite Saints - to propagate Bhakthi Marga, devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Alwars have dedicated their lives towards Lord Sriman Narayana and they led their life by praising Him.

These Alwars were born in various parts of our country but they were all united in a common subject, ie dedicating their lives and praising the Lord.

Poigai Alwar, Bhoodath Alwar and Pei Alwar are collectively called as "Mudhal Alwars" were found in the same period of time.

Thirumazhisai Alwar, who thought the Perumal as his friend and has sung Mangalasasanam on Perumal.

Thirumangai Alwar was a great king and later, changed his life to work for the Perumal and for his bhaktaas.

Thondaradippodi Alwar, who is also named as "Vipra Narayanar" led his life as the servant to the God and did service to Him by offering beautiful Garlands.
