Dawn Matusz, a nutrition and dietetics technician, points out that political division over food has been present since the inception of politics, particularly with plant-based diets. Many liberals are associated with a preference for plant-based diets, which signals care for animals and the environment, while conservatives often view animal agriculture as essential for economic survival.
Many conservatives perceive issues like climate change as exaggerated, viewing vegetarianism or veganism as a challenge to their livelihoods. Thus, promoting meat is a defense of their way of life, reflecting deeper socio-political divides.
