Medieval Forest Laws, England, 1066-1217:
Hunting deer: Death penalty by hanging
Hunting boar: Blinding and exile
Hunting rabbits: Hand amputation
Not because of conservation. The deer population was massive.
Because meat access = power.
Control the meat = control the population.
Peasants could watch deer destroy their crops and be executed for killing one to feed starving children.
Meanwhile, nobility ate venison multiple times weekly.
The result was predictable:
Noble class: Tall, strong, healthy, lived to 60-70 Peasant class: Short, weak, sick, died at 40-50
700 years of this. Seven centuries of restricting meat to elites while forcing peasants onto grain.
The peasants got shorter every generation. The nobles stayed tall.
Then agricultural revolution made grain abundant and cheap. Still, meat stayed expensive and restricted.
Now? The restriction is psychological instead of legal.
"Meat causes cancer!" (It doesn't) "Meat destroys the planet!" (It doesn't) "Meat is unethical!" (Compared to what?)
Same control mechanism. Different delivery method.
Keep the masses eating grain. Keep them weak, compliant, sick.
The elites still eat meat. They just don't tell you.
They have been pushing to get rid of us eating animal meat (by saying cow farts are bad and chickens have bird flue and and..), started pushing bugs around 2020 but, dont think it went very far, gross. They have been regulating, taxing and attacking the worlds farmers, mostly any of them that are in the meat business, making fishing more and more expensive and limiting what you can keep and where/when you can fish, they have decided that, farmers who been using ground water for last couple hundred years on their property suddenly have to stop or get fined for it or need to pay for the water rights of the water under their feet.. what caused a bunch of the smaller farms to fail. .. other countries they are demanding that a % of all farmed animals be slaughtered for.. one reason or another .. goes on and on.. ALL they while, yes.. the "elites" are not only eating freely what ever meats they want but, as usual, the more rare the animal the better your elite standing it seems.
