The Panic Button: Meat Industry Predicts Its Own Extinction | Rising Anxieties
Description
In this episode of Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan examines current developments in animal agriculture and political food policies so you don’t have to. From RFK Jr.’s contradictory stances on vaccines and ultra-processed foods to industry insiders acknowledging that cultivated protein may replace conventional meat production in the future, this episode dives into the contradictions and potential changes within the food system.
This episode explores:
- How industry insiders are predicting a future shift away from conventional animal agriculture toward cultivated protein technologies
- Emerging debates around the classification of plant-based alternatives as “ultra-processed”
- Agricultural communication strategies being developed by industry
- Proposed budget changes that would redirect $290 billion from food assistance programs to commodity support and crop insurance
