IS PRESIDENT TRUMP PUSHING A VEGAN AGENDA?

Posted on October 31, 2018 by The VRG Blog Editor


According to CNN, China has been facing a potential soybean shortage after it put a new 25% tariff on importing them from the United States in July, as part of the trade war between the two countries.

China is the world’s biggest buyer of soybeans, using them as feed for livestock such as pigs and chickens. More than a third of its supply comes from the United States. According to CNN, solutions for less reliance on U.S. soybeans could mean halting all imports of United States soybeans. It seems this would fit into the vegan agenda in the United States of growing less food for animals and preserving more U.S. resources.

    You have GOT to be kidding. But your headline and conclusion does not strike me as funny. It’s the most asinine thing I’ve ever seen published by the Vegetarian Resource Group, and I’ve been a member for more than 20 years. It calls into question VRG’s standards of publication. At least you have the sense to publish as “VRG Blog Editor,” instead of associating your name with this posting.
