In case anyone is low on blood pressure and needs a boost, I recommend this podcast: "Big Meat’s Big Win in Europe" on the rising meat industry backed culture war in Europe https://euscream.com/big-meats-big-win-in-europe/ 1/9 <💬> In this episode: a deep dive into the activities and influence of a group called European Livestock Voice with Andrea Bertaglio, a journalist and the group’s campaign manager. Also in this episode: Thin Lei Win, the lead food systems reporter for Lighthouse Reports that oversaw the investigation; Arthur Neslen, a freelance journalist for The Guardian; Silvia Lazzaris, editor at Food Unfolded; and Olga Kikou, the head of Compassion in World Farming in Brussels. “This takes us far beyond animal welfare,” says Olga. “It’s a democracy issue.” it's about the efforts to ban cages, legally, across the EU, by pushing with popular petitions. You may have even signed on that petition. https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2018/000004/end-cage-age_en #welfare #europe #cage #EU #meatIndustry #meatLobby #BigMeat #astroturfing #astropasturing #lobby #livestock #cultureWar #goVegan
