“There is still strong in our society the belief that animals & the natural world have value only insofar as they can be converted into revenue. That nature is a commodity. And that the 🇺🇸 dream is one of unlimited consumption.
There are many of us, on the other 🖐️, who believe that animals & the natural world have value by virtue of being alive. That Nature is a community to which we belong & to which we owe our lives. And that the deeper 🇺🇸 dream is one of unlimited compassion.”

That's the agri-corporate PR line, yes. From what I've read (eg #JohnRobbins, #MichaelPollan, #EricSchlosser, #RichardHeinberg) in the US it's less to do with economies of scale, and more to do with massive federal and state government subsidies to industrial monocrops and their associated businesses (poisons, biotech etc), and a regulatory environment heavily slanted in their favour
