Upvoted this not because I believe those words 100%, but to raise awareness of possible threats against food supply.

Subsidizing farmers not to grow their crops is one thing (they can always grow another crop), but culling livestock is something else entirely.

Isn't that was Germany did in the 1930s? Start a war to hide the fact that their economy was about to crash?

With Ireland it's obvious, with Iceland less so, but still happening.

What I'm not sure on is Greenland. They are remote, few and scattered. Roads are a luxury up there. Work is underway on building the first modern airport, but that only covers part of the western half of a very large country.

The comparison is this - Iceland skirts the line between the civilized world and the wild frontier. Southwestern Greenland is the first stop after you've crossed into the wild frontier, with other parts of the country being even more remote.

Thank you all, for the replies and insights.

I had guessed at the 'filler' part of soy proteins, but not to the extents you bring up. Literally food for thought. ;)

The nutritional and negative values I had also heard about, but only in passing. It's probably one of those cases where you'd have to eat a bathtub full of the stuff on a daily basis for the negative aspects to fully kick in... but when they're putting the bad stuff into all the foods, that anecdote gets quite close to reality...

To give a little more context regarding local meat products - there is no such thing here as 100% pork-sausages/hot dogs. The closest is a 98% 'keto' hot dog, and it's got soy proteins in it. (The most popular hot dog brand here only has 65% pork in it, most of the remainder is water.)

Strangely enough burgers are one of the few meat products here that are soy-free, but that only applies to the store-bought ones, I have no idea what the hamburger joints are using (and I'm not inclined to find out).

Our biggest pizza chain has soy in almost everything on the menu, only their bacon and pepperoni is still soy free.

But one question remains for me: What about regular soy sauce? How bad is that, compared to all these soy-derivatives?

The article omits the case of the President of Madagascar, who also refused the vaccine for his people, and only recently survived an assassination attempt.

There's also the question of Eritrea. In March of this year they had not "met the requirements" to be allowed to have the vaccine, but that may have changed since.
