Johnson's government appointing someone from the tobacco industry as an "independent" scientific advisor in February 2020 is extraordinary: it probably flew under the radar because public health advocates were preoccupied with an emerging pandemic at the time.

I have already boosted this toot, but I loved the article so much that I have to share it again. If you read one thing this week, let it be this article from #TheGuardian:

"Inside big beef’s climate messaging machine: confuse, defend and downplay" - Joe Fassler
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/03/beef-industry-public-relations-messaging-machine

You can't make this stuff up. There is a "Masters of Beef Advocacy" (yes, abbreviated MBA!, should stand for Manipulators of Bullshit Advocacy), that the animal meat industry is propping up to manipulate the public.

An absolute must read. The general non vegan population (including YOU!) is being lied to. The #tobaccoIndustry did it, the #fossilFuelIndustry did it (and are still doing it), and now the #AnimalIndustry is doing it.

Now you know. People with financial interests (and zero concern or consideration for the 'animal') are using every trick in the book to keep selling you their product.

Don't buy their BS and leave the cow alone. 💩

PS. I can't help but think of all the knuckleheads that I interacted with on the bird site when it came to vegan topics. I swear some of those anonymous clowns must have been signed up to this program. 😂🤡
