Nobody described "food" as a doomed industry, but the practice of slaughtering animals for protein if better alternatives become available (which they definitely are not yet, not even long term).

They're not "far right" just because they're not on board with your vegan agenda of banning animal slaughter. Italy has a culture and reputation to maintain, which are worth far more to them than your vegan progressive scheming.

Ah yes, the scheming, devious vegan agenda of animal rights.

Yes. Italy's culinary reputation, joined at the hip to their tourism industry, is worth far more to Italy than that crap.

Yeah. I always forget that billions of animals suffering is somehow okay if it's about reputation or tasty food. My bad.

Billions of humans concur, including an overwhelming majority of Italians. But since when have progressive reformers cared about democracy? You want to impose your ideology on everybody else, even though you don't have popular support. If you did have popular support, the issue would be settled already in your favor, but you don't and so it won't be.

I somehow missed the point where I tried to overthrow the government?
Au countraire, mom ami! I use my democratic right of arguing for my opinion. You may very well disagree, but that won’t make me or the growing number of like-minded individuals go away.

It's absolutely OK. Nobody really cares about some nebulous "suffering" of animals. We want to eat and eat well.

It's only nebulous if you close your eyes and go lalala because you can't handle reality. But whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep, I guess.
