The bizarre diet trend you need to know about

Good morning health hackers,

Imagine a diet that includes dog food, insects, and fake butter. Absurd, right? But believe it or not, this bizarre trend is very real—and it's being pushed by some of the world’s biggest influencers in the food industry, including Bill Gates.

THE RISE OF FAKE FOODS

Bill Gates has been making waves in the food industry, promoting products like Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, and even insect-based proteins.

What’s alarming is that many of these "future foods" are so processed that Dr. Frank Mitloehner from UC Davis compared them to pet food.

Would you feed this to your pet, let alone yourself?

Here’s what you need to know:

1. highly processed fake meats
Products like Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat contain over 20 highly processed ingredients. These foods are not only unnatural—they’re also packed with additives and preservatives that our bodies weren’t designed to process.

2. insect protein
For centuries, humans have avoided eating bugs—and for good reason. Insects can carry harmful bacteria and are filled with anti-nutrients that block our ability to absorb essential nutrients.

3. lab-made butter substitutes
Companies like Savo are creating lab-made butter using complex thermochemical processes. The result? A substance that looks like butter but is created in a lab with unknown long-term health impacts.

What’s the takeaway?

The closer you stay to real, whole foods, the better. Our bodies are designed to thrive on organic, unprocessed meats, seasonal vegetables, and healthy fats like butter—not synthetic imitations.

Remember, just because something is labelled "sustainable" or "innovative" doesn’t mean it’s healthy.
