I would sympathise if that were actually true.

There is all kinds of spurious claims made about diet in the name of profit making, most of which don't stand up under scrutiny.
Eat what you like, but don't expect others to do likewise.
As far as animal cruelty is concerned. Britain has some of the highest standards when it comes to the treatment of farm animals. I don't say that some practices are not unpleasant and I would be the first to legislate to reduce suffering to a minimum. Sadly there are many situations in the world where there are little or no guidelines or laws to protect animals and any campaign should be directed in that direction.
Expecting people to give up meat and other animal products completely is a non starter.

I don't suspect that Trump will survive the year to be honest, and his advisors seem to be falling at an alarming speed.

I keep forgetting its less than a month he's been in office, and he's already isolated himself from the media, the national security council, the CIA, NSA, DIA with the FBI under pressure, and any number of government agencies resisting being 'silenced'.

Throw in the number of advisors and campaign staff forced out over links with Russia, and another scandal brewing with the Deutesh banks loans to him, he's basically one month in, to a four year presidency of trying to avoid being forced to resign or impeached.
