While he eats steak with the juice dripping off his chin, then commenting how yummy it is in that squeaky non manly voice of his.
That’s what I was going to say! Medium-rare, no doubt.
If the environmental impact of producing animal protein becomes a serious issue rabbit and fish should be farmed. The idea that people should eat ‘synthetic beef’ is preposterous.
Here is an interesting story about Malta and rabbit as a protein source.
“Malta’s undisputed national dish is stuffat tal-fenek —rabbit stew.
Wild rabbits were not indigenous to the Maltese islands. They were introduced by the Phoenicians, who brought some of their stock to the islands to ensure a supply of fresh meat. But the rabbits flourished in the Maltese countryside and became part of the local diet, providing meat for local hunters. They also became immensely popular because the meat was easily sourced and cheap.
In 1530, the Spanish king Charles V, in an attempt to protect Rome from an Ottoman invasion from the South, entrusted the islands to the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem(also known as the Knights Hospitallier, or as I will refer to them, the Knights of St John)—a medieval Catholic military order that treated Christian pilgrims during the Crusades. The Knights presided over Malta for 250 years, shifting it culturally towards Europe and overseeing a golden age in art, architecture, and maritime power.
During the Knights’ era, rabbits were so popular that the Knights, fearing their extinction, issued several edicts restricting or prohibiting rabbit-hunting. In 1775, these restrictions exacerbated long-simmering tensions between the Knights and the Maltese clergy, resulting in a short-lived revolt called the Rising of the Priests, in which the clergy took over Fort St. Elmo and Saint James Cavalier in Valletta. (The Knights quashed the revolt in a matter of hours, capturing and executing them.) But eating and hunting rabbit became a symbolic resistance to the Order’s restrictions, cementing the dish as an expression of Maltese identity.”
Hmm… His opinion wouldn’t have anything to do with his investment portfolio, I’m sure. No… never… this blessed philanthropist wants to save mankind.
Yeah, tasty… Lining up now.

I am not sure that “he” exists any more. That Foundation is so immense and uncontrollable that they steam roll over the health agencies worldwide. 2nd generation eugenists with a tax-free account.
EU genecists — more EU than Asia, perhaps?
I guess it doesn’t really matter if the founder is still around… These giant foundations continue shaping policy and wreaking havoc on the planet long after the criminals who founded them have departed this world.
And yeah, it’s a wonderful way to accumulate billions tax-free and use them to perpetuate your agenda from one generation to the next. Kind of like the Templars’ exemption from local laws and taxation, which enabled multigenerational accumulation of tons of capital.
