      Youʻre also going up against a practical firewall of decades of pro-beef propaganda. And your opponent just made the critical error.

      Also, there is a nod acknowledging that the sentiment isn’t only for beef-eaters. One of the main speakers is eating fish, and another main speaker is buying dairy.
