    You know who else lobbies against these policies? Almost every other name brand company.

      Nobody thinks it’s JUST these companies that do it bud. Are you implying that means we can’t call them out on it?

      From the article:

      The meat industry has lobbied against climate policies like cap-and-trade, the Clean Air Act, and regulations that would require farms to report emissions. They have also spent millions on political campaigns

      I’m not so sure every other name brand company is fighting these specific initiatives tailored towards farming/agriculture

      b-b-but other companies do it too!!!

      Fucking and??? These scumbags deserve to be called out AND FUCKING SHAMED. Fuck you for trying to defend them with this milquetoast whataboutism
