Fuelled by the financially struggling media who rely on click bait head lines that shock or induce fear.
With the help of social media prompting politicians to put half arsed measures in place to show they are doing something (to avoid what Morrison went through last month).

Eye brows should raise at our reliance on China. Their cooperations incentivised by their govt buying up land and companies for primary industry production, food and dairy.
When they have us by the balls in controlling what food we get, who knows what crap is served up on the shelves in Coles etc that come from China or out of their owned and operated factory farms.
Any biosecurity, animal welfare and food safety regulations are going to mean SFA if that is the case.

With the demise of the local butcher, and the probability we have most meat and dairy being sourced from the Chinese with questionable and unknown standards, perhaps veganism will take off.
Leftist millennials are more worried about changing the date, not offending a transgender, or buying an electric car and making virtuous posts on social media so they can change the weather.
Personally I'd be looking to becoming self sufficient from acreage.

Give it a week or two and some scientists in the pocket of the UN and the click bait media will link this to climate change.

I wish I could thank this post more than once. Hit the nail on the head!!!
