The sience of detecting the creation of ignorance - Agnotology

The vegan propaganda machine is doing this, as well. At least for me, now I can start putting this in words, after watching the following DW documantary:

Fact vs. fake - why don’t we trust science any more?

This leads to a a sientific approach to get to the bottom of the issue.

Agnotology
Agnotology (formerly agnatology) is the study of deliberate, culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data. More generally, the term also highlights the condition where more knowledge of a subject leaves one more uncertain than before.

To get the link to Veganism there is a source from Belinda Fettke:

Belinda Fettke - 'Nutrition Science: How did we get here?'

This video shows the same pattern as the DW - creating ignorance!

And another propaganda trick is geting a name for me: FUD

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

Unconscious and deliberate ignorance...

I believe it is already more like a complex maze of tunnels and chambers than just a rabbit hole. It is the support of believes like the philosophy of Peter Singer and the religions like Seventh Day Adventist. These two pillars of vegetarianism support each other without having the same goal in mind. Animal welfare and the believe meat is coming from the devil. Both streams of propaganda use similar propaganda tricks. Now these two pillars are the base for an additional growing pilar: the money. The propaganda and this way created ignorance is leading the path for the idea, with plant-based food is a way to make a lot of money. Now we can follow the money:

Gunhild Stordalen
She is the founder and executive chair of EAT Foundation...


Bill Gates
Business ventures and investments (partial list)
Impossible Foods, a company that develops plant-based substitutes for meat products.


James Cameron
Hollywood director James Cameron invests in Saskatchewan pea processing plant
The Oscar-winning Cameron appeared Monday in Vanscoy, a village southwest of Saskatoon, to say the couple have formed Verdient Foods to handle 160,000 tonnes of organic pea protein.
Now, he also one of the executive producers of the documentary film The Game Changers (2018), that promotes a plant-based diet.

Now there is the combination of "ethics", "the believe in the devil" and money.

This construction opens the door for more money. E.g. Beyond Meat (Bill Gates again) and Impossible Foods (and Bill Gates again). These meat substitutes are getting very interesting for big buisineses like Burger King,  NestlĂ©, PepsiCo  and more.

What a powerful force!
