I think politicians are more afraid of voters and their reaction to significant meat price increase.
Poultry is staple food in much of the world. Caged farming is used because it is cheap. When it is forbidden the staple food will get more expensive. And it will hurt the poor the most.
Yes meat price increase is the way to go… but that is not easy to push and will hurt not those we want. Things would be easier if we can find cheap, healthy (most 'meat alternatives' are highly processed food, which is not better than meat) alternative that people will accept.
Ok. Now convince milions relying on meat.
Government politician telling people 'stop eating meat, that will be better for you and to make the switch easier we will make meat more expensive' won't be a government politician after next elections.
No one relies on meat. The poorest countries in the world rely on rice and beans for protein
The Industry is already afraid of people stopping supporting the atrocities, even if its just for their own good because it is major contributor to climate change. The poor eat the least animals and are most affected by it. A plant based diet is cheaper and healthier. It would even be cheaper if the subsidies for the animal industry would go to plant based food, as proposed by the IPCC.
