Is there a multi-million dollar misinformation campaign to stop the plant-based food movement in its tracks? The Freedom Food Alliance, led by renowned digital media expert Robbie Lockie, has just released a detailed report which makes that case. "Harvesting Denial, Distractions and Deception: Understanding Animal Agriculture’s Disinformation Strategies and Exploring Solutions" argues that the meat industry - though companies, lobbyists, trade groups, checkoff programs, influencers and so-called experts and industry-backed academics - is waging a full-scale misinformation and disinformation campaign against vegan products and the plant-based movement in general.
This is happening at our own peril, as the climate crisis worsens and advertiser-based mainstream media basically ignores one of the biggest causes: animal agriculture. The media runs story after story attacking plant-based meat alternatives as processed while failing to mention that processed meat is officially cancer-causing, according to the World Health Organization. When the World Bank recently called for governments to shift away from subsidizing meat and dairy and embrace alternatives proteins, that urgent recommendation was completely ignored by mainstream media.
So, what can we do to save ourselves, animals and the planet? Let’s find out from Robbie Lockie, one of the founders of Plant Based News whose new campaign is getting the real story out to the world before it’s too late. For more visit:
