If you think meat lobbying groups just wanted a new triangle and this isn't going to extend to water, land, energy, and environmental policies along with farm subsidies and even merger&acquisition and liability policies, sorry ...

This thing is for them, their profitability and their investors. They didn't lobby on behalf of your personal health...

The last corrupted version had the same person at its head.

I'm pretty sure you did the rhetorical equivalent of looking at a roomful of pregnant high school girls..

.. and declaring one of them to be closest to virginity.
