Fortunately, they’re aren’t talking about Bug Bunny, Warner Brother’s wascally wabbit who escaped bad situations with a combination of intelligence, wit, and charm (and, he could be Jewish?)
No sirree, not talking about that. Although I’ve never eaten rabbit I’m a dedicated carnivore who enjoys delicious beef, fowl, and fish, which makes talk of the “little people” getting their proteins from plant-based meat, fake fish, multi-legged bugs, and protein from the sea while the rich continue to enjoy their haute cuisine simply unpalatable…
…and makes this very clever meme even more ironically humorous.
Some helpful context:
- The World Economic Forum has been trying to convince the world to get their meat proteins from bugs instead of animals or fish since at least 2018.
-
Al Gore, failed presidential candidate and global warming alarmist who falsely predicted all the world’s ice would melt by 2013, has been a partner and advisor to the investment firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers since 2007. Kleiner Perkins is the largest investor in Beyond Meat, makers of the “Impossible Burger”® and other plant-based fake meat products.
-
Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, is the largest private owner of farmland in the United States (he owns 242,000 acres, a total area 12 times the size of Manhattan Island, NY). Mr. Gates has invested millions in “synthetic biology” and the firm Beyond Meat.
-
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time.” – Bill Gates, February 2021

Perhaps I’d better get used to eating plants and bugs for my protein, before scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda from the Okayama Laboratory in Japan decides to market his version of non-meat protein (WARNING: May be upsetting to some readers!)
Note: The meme I’ve posted above doesn’t have a byline: If you’re the creator then let me know so I can give you well-deserved credit. The image of Bugs Bunny questioning Yosemite Sam’s demand to get into the oven is from the cartoon “Rabbit Every Monday“, by Warner Bros. (1951).
