Lobbying
The meat and dairy lobby are increasingly out of step with the times. Their crusade against plant-based alternatives is not new. In the 1980s, German milk producers (the largest in Europe) felt threatened enough to apply legal pressure for the government to shut down small tofu entrepreneurs, like TofuTown (happily, today a 60-million-euro company). More recently, the dairy industry has prevented the producers of plant-based alternatives from using terms like ““oat milk” and “soya yoghurt”; and now with Amendment 171 they want to go even further. These are desperation tactics, like King Canute trying to hold back the tide.
