Well, “sweetie”, I never personally insulted you and I took the effort to link sources for my claims so I got that going for me… 🤷

Should I call it ecocide industry then?

Lung disease spreaders industry?

Epidemic production industry?

You don’t have to care about animals at all to see the benefits of reducing meat production.

Imagine people ordering a “lentil burger”, “soy burger”, “plant burger”, “bean burger”, or “chickpea burger”, and receiving a vegan meal.

Can you imagine how shocked and deceived, perhaps even violated they may feel? The horror!

Luckily the European Christian Democrats protected European citizens from this huge and common problem instead of, oh I dunno, helping European industry with the energy transition or end a genocide. They have their priorities straight here.

Or maybe, just maybe, this is another attempt by a panicked industry to slow down the transition to a slightly less cruel food production system and these politicians are earning some side money?

EDITED for tastefulness of words. The only words I changed are the only ones that OP quoted and responded to below. The rest of the message was ignored. I actually learned a valuable lesson today, thanks Felix!
