She claimed that he will contaminate America’s food supply, and to be fair to her, she does have a point. Bill Gates seems to be putting his money towards projects that will only make Americans fatter and sicker…
Some of these include APEEL, lab-grown meat, plant-based meat, and GMOs. Bill Gates is now also officially the largest private owner of farmland in the U.S., forcing many small family farms off their land.
But why?
Why is a software engineer so determined to take over and change America’s food system?
What is his mission? Because it certainly isn’t about improving public health and well-being.
What are your thoughts?
One thing is for certain though: if we want to be healthy, we should actively avoid eating anything that Gates is funding. If you want a world without pesticides, lab-grown meat, and GMOs—then stop buying them.
Vote with your dollar. The best alternative is supporting farmers who practice regenerative agriculture, such as where we source the meat and tallow for our Carnivore Bars ✅
1. BREAKING: Michelle Pfeiffer Launches Attack on Bill Gates
Hollywood legend Michelle Pfeiffer recently sounded the alarm, calling out Bill Gates for contaminating the food supply. Not exactly your average celebrity rant—this one hit different. When an A-list star calls out a tech mogul for pushing chemicals into our food chain, people listen. And maybe, just maybe, she’s right to be concerned.
2. She Has a Point…
Look at the track record. Obesity, chronic disease, food allergies, and fertility issues are all skyrocketing. And what do all these conditions have in common? Highly processed, chemically altered food. Gates, with all his biotech ventures, seems more interested in profit and patents than nutrient density. If someone with billions is reshaping the way we eat, we should at least ask—does he even eat the stuff himself?
3. APEEL: Funded by Gates, Found on “Organic” Produce
Let’s talk about APEEL. This chemical coating is marketed as a way to keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer. Sounds helpful, right? Except it is coated with a cocktail of undisclosed ingredients, including lead, mercury, arsenic, and solvents. Gates directly funded it, and it has now been approved for use on organic produce. Yes, organic. You can’t wash it off. You won’t see it. And unless your grocer tells you, you’ll never know it’s there.
4. Lab-Grown Meat: Yep, He Funds That Too
Gates has poured millions into synthetic meat start-ups. He even said in an interview that rich nations should eat lab-grown meat instead of real meat. Forget nutrient density, amino acid profiles, or ancestral eating—he wants you chewing on cells from a steel vat. We have no long-term data on what happens when people live off fake meat. Meanwhile, real meat has been nourishing humans since the beginning of time.
5. We Were Healthier Before This Man Came Along
Remember when people ate meat, butter, eggs, and vegetables—and didn’t need five prescriptions by age 40? Back when food came from farms, not factories, and cancer was rare? That was before the biotech tycoons convinced us to swap beef for “Beyond” and butter for seed oils. Since Gates got involved in the food system, our shelves have gotten more processed, our kids more allergic, and our population more sick.
6. He Also Funds GMOs
Gates has been a longtime backer of genetically modified crops. His foundation even partnered with Monsanto, one of the most hated names in agriculture. These GMOs are engineered to withstand glyphosate and other pesticides, which are now showing up in our urine, breastmilk, and breakfast cereals. There’s nothing natural about these crops. And if you're wondering why your food tastes like cardboard and your gut feels like it’s on fire, here’s a good place to start.
7. He’s the Largest Private Owner of U.S. Farmland
Gates now owns over 270,000 acres of American farmland. That makes him the largest private farmland owner in the country. Why? Why does a tech billionaire want that much farmland? He claims it is for sustainability and innovation, but it is hard to ignore the implications. Owning the land means controlling how it is used—what gets planted, what gets sprayed, and who gets pushed out. Small family farms are struggling while one man buys up the countryside.
8. Top Tip: Don’t Take Health Advice from a Software Engineer
Would you take advice on cholesterol from a plumber? Then why are we letting a man with a background in software shape the future of our food, farms, and fertility? Gates has no background in nutrition, biology, or regenerative agriculture. His expertise is in monopolizing tech, not raising cattle or growing vegetables. Let the farmers farm. Let the health practitioners talk health. And let the rest of us eat real food from real animals, raised by real people.
Final Thoughts
Michelle Pfeiffer may have just said what many of us were thinking. Gates isn’t making us healthier. He’s making food more industrialized, less nutritious, and harder to trust. If you want to opt out of the system he’s building, the solution is simple: eat real food, grown on real land, by people who actually care about health. You can start by supporting regenerative farms—and companies like ours that source directly from them.
