Like… No shit?
Meat industry makes tons of money.
Activist groups and scientists don’t.
How are the poor supposed to spend more than the mega rich on anything?
They don’t need to spend money to convince people that meat is delicious - I wonder what all that money goes to.

As far as I’m concerned they’re preaching to the choir.
Anyone have a look behind the paywall?
