Food For Thought: The unthinkable has arrived – Imitation food to replace meat as fast food giants switch in the name of inflation.

"Tyson Food, Inc., one of the world's largest food companies, has reached an agreement for a two-fold investment with Protix, the leading global insect ingredients company. The strategic investment will support the growth of the emerging insect ingredient industry and expand the use of insect ingredient solutions to create more efficient sustainment proteins and lipids for use in the global food system."

"Tyson produces about one-fifth of the beef, chicken, and pork sold in the United States. It is one of the largest U.S. marketers of chicken, beef and pork to retail grocers, broad line foodservice distributors and national fast food and full-service restaurant chains; fresh beef and pork; frozen and fully cooked chicken, beef and pork products; case-ready beef and pork; supermarket deli chicken products; meat toppings for the pizza industry and retail frozen pizza; club store chicken, beef and pork; ground beef and flour tortillas. It supplies Yum! Brands chains that use chicken, including KFC and Taco Bell, as well as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's Walmart, Kroger, IGA, Beef O'Brady's, small restaurant businesses, and prisons."

Note: Tyson Food is a member of the World Economic Forum, and its Chief Sustainability Officer John R. Tyson is also an agent with WEF. Protix is a WEF-backed bug food maker and has been awarded the Technology Pioneer Award by the WEF.
