What corporate interests are pushing against a meat centric diet that have any actual traction or power in the USA?

  • If you look at the actions of most of the heavily processed food product companies, they treat it as a zero sum game and are finding profits in working against meat.

    Kellogs was founded by a Seventh Day Adventists, you can also look into Adventist Agricultural Association, though they don't list associated members directly.

    Almond/Oat/Soy milk costs a fraction of what whole cow milk takes to produce and charge much more... the fats and sugars in the product are emphatically worse and it's treated as a health food with higher margins, with concerted efforts to remove/restrict/eliminate animal products from availability. Similar for advocates of meat alternatives.

    • I have zero time for this 7th Day tin hat stuff.

      I asked about corporate interests with traction ... the milk industry has already successfully pushed back against the larger desires of the alternative milk sector, and most people I know who use those products don't do so out of a belief that they are "healthier" but simply that they are non-dairy.
