So? The meat industry has a massive lobbying section. Are other industries not allowed a voice? Why is everyone presenting this as a massive “gotcha” when it’s actually written in the title of the article?

Yeah so does animal agriculture wanting to have meat and dairy served 3 or more days a week in the schools. Are we really going to ignore the ethics, sustainability and health concerns of animal agriculture just because he has a vested interest in the vegan food market.
Why not critique animal agriculture’s vested interest in maintaining its £14 billion market value or the ability to keep polluting the rivers.

Sure, but I don’t think that someone owning a vegan food company makes it a bad argument. It’s pretty absurd that the meat industry gets government protection, to the detriment of numerous other factors.
