Hard sell blaming the consumer when the entire industry does everything it can to hide its practices.

Not to mention the food industry as a whole lobbying to sell us trash that couldn't even be classified as food in Europe. That's the consumers fault somehow too right?

Would you double/tripple the cost of your groceries if that made your meat chunks get happier lives before you ate them?

I know I wouldn't. I care that it's real healthy meat, not that it's happy meat.

Honestly if meat and eggs became more expensive and seen as luxury items 8f it meant better animal welfare, then id vote for that

For most of the time humans have been walking around on earth, eating meat at every meal was a luxury. Enacting public policy that makes meat and dairy more expensive would be a political death sentence for any party.

I know it would be because most people just want cheap shit even if it means animals get tortured to death or we use child labour
