This is according to a study by New York University, which examined the political influence of the 10 largest meat and dairy companies in the United States.

    Very dishonest click bait. Moderators should clean this stuff up in order to prevent redditification.

      Not sure how it is clickbait - it’s just the headline is overstating the case by claiming 100%, when it should say 100% of the 10 largest companies - which are responsible for how much of the nation’s market of meat and dairy? If it’s like just about every other market, a few top players grab up most the market share and set the overall agenda.

        Are they top 10 of dairy, meat, or both? What share of the market do they hold in each respective field, and combined fields? It’s pretty arbitrary for claiming 100% of. Would you consider the same concept acceptable elsewhere with different subject like…

        100% of Rappers and Democrats voted for Kanye in 2020. Top 10 selling rappers and Democrats on Spotify voted for Kanye.

        Obviously I made that up… but I think you’d consider it dishonest clickbait.
