May 1, 2018 — TODAY: Read and share a new hard-hitting opinion piece in the Chicago Tribune calling out the desperate meat and dairy industries’ attempt to squash plant-based competition: Click here to tweet: http://bit.ly/2HLNPSd! Producers of animal products are claiming consumers are “confused” by food labels and are turning to the Food & Drug Administration to stop the use of words like “meat,” “milk,” and “cheese” on vegan foods. Not only are these industries trying to stifle their more compassionate competitors--but they’re also insulting the intelligence of the millions of consumers who know they want to pack their plates with plant-based foods. That’s why more than 8,500 of you have already called out Big Dairy via our petition. For years, the dairy industry too has been crying over spilled milk (literally, dumping millions of gallons of milk unwanted by consumers), asking the FDA to step in…as each generation drinks less dairy milk than the one before it. Desperate Dairy even killed 500,000 young cows to illegally inflate milk prices, and claiming “misleading and illegal” food labeling, flexed its lobbying muscles to lead to the introduction of the “Dairy Pride Act.” Now, in the Chicago Tribune, Steve Chapman puts it this way: “What the beef and dairy producers want is for the government to protect them from competition. People buy almond milk not because they think it contains cow’s milk but because they know it doesn’t.” Help us tell Big Dairy that consumers aren’t confused--they’re choosing plant-powered protein!
