Reply #2: Revolving Door [View All]

[Jcrowley]

Elected officials who receive campaign contributions from the meat, dairy, and egg industries often return the favor by working to ensure that industry-friendly officials are appointed to high-ranking posts in government agencies such as the USDA, the EPA, and the FDA. In turn, elected and appointed officials who do the bidding of the farmed-animal industries are frequently rewarded with cushy industry jobs once their terms in office end. As a result of this “revolving door” between the government and the meat industry, it’s not surprising that many top officials in government agencies have previously worked for the very industries that they’ve been assigned to monitor.
