Woman fought HSUS to keep food affordable
The Massachusetts woman who led the opposition campaign against the HSUS in a recent ballot issue says she was motivated by her desire to affordably feed her family.
Diane Sullivan feared the Massachusetts ballot proposal to ban eggs and pork raised in confinement would put food costs out of reach.
“I have nothing against veganism or folks promoting veganism,” Sullivan told Brownfield Ag News following her presentation to the Missouri Farm Bureau General Session Monday, “but to make it so that the cost of animal protein is so high that people can’t afford it, but they’re left with no other options but a plant-based diet, it just doesn’t really seem too humane to me.”
The HSUS-backed measure passed despite Sullivan’s opposition, but she told Missouri Farm Bureau members that aligning makes sense.
“There’s certainly strength in numbers, there is strength in a unified voice,” she said, “and I think the more that we can cross over and understand and appreciate each other’s role as producers and consumers, I think that there is a real opportunity to push back against HSUS in a real and effective way.”
Sullivan, who does anti-poverty work, is herself a former homeless person.
