Knew it. My bullshit detector is finely tuned.
It's not even the usual scam disinformation, they get into fascist fantasies, as made clear with the "alt" right types, Jordan Peterson and others. They treat beef as a better "masculinity" supplement than injecting testosterone or taking ED pills. Yet another nightmare forming fantastic narrative unleashed to protect a capital sector that's destroying the world.
Yeah, that's because the fossil fuel industry knows that people are dependent on their products, like addicts. The carbon footprint (per capita GHG emissions) is like a reminder of who the dealer is, who has the power.
The meat industry tries to sponsor science that claims that eating meat is not just necessary, but nearly confers superpowers. That's compensating for the fact that consuming meat is not necessary. While they may have addicts based on hyperpalatable high-fat meat, it's not the same as the dependency on fossil fuels.
The meat cartels are all too rich from various subsidies too. Like the fossil industry, they have a big "war chest" to spread disinformation and attack opponents.
It's going to get worse under the Trump regime and that RFK Jr.
