The meat industry, driven by powerful lobbyists, has effectively concealed the true costs of meat production from consumers, creating a veil of ignorance around its environmental, health, and ethical implications. Through aggressive advertising campaigns, political influence, and disinformation tactics, the industry has downplayed the link between meat consumption and chronic diseases, the environmental destruction caused by animal agriculture, and the inhumane treatment of animals raised for food. This manipulation of information has allowed the meat lobby to maintain its profits at the expense of public health, the environment, and animal welfare.
