🌱 The beef industry has been funding education schemes to influence kids by targeting school teachers with biased lesson plans designed to promote beef consumption. This campaign, led by The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture, has been undermining efforts to educate kids about the climate crisis and sustainable food choices for the last 8 years.

🌱 The US government has updated its food provision programme for women and children (WIC), increasing access to fruits, vegetables, plant-based milk, plant-based yogurt, and plant-based cheese, while cutting allowances for dairy. This change will help 7 million low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to age 5 access health plant-based options.
