    Is that what the people want, or some big key to power that stands to inevitably lose out? If other countries transition out of meat livestock isn’t it pointless to handicap yourself?

      Italian parma ham and such is quite famous and Italians seem to take their authentic cuisine very seriously. Supposedly there afraid that low quality fake meat will overrun the current market. I imagine the meet industry there is quite powerful though so assume lobbying was part of this.
