Same war wages against species-appropriate diets, especially MEAT, and even more especially, RAW.
Check out what the MARS-OWNED (and I mean literally OWNED) veterinary chains are "prescribing" people feed their carnivores. Look into Mars "petcare", and not just what, but WHO it OWNS. Also who has the most advertising, and sponsors everything from big televised dogshows to all the most well-known PET CHARITIES.
They can't even "CHEW" or diggest this garbage!

Mars Buys Another Veterinary Network, as a Candy-Company Turned Pet Care Giant Furthers its Influence Over Animal Health https://archive.md/FmO4m
Americans are shelling out more for their furry friends, and processed food companies want in on this growing pet care market to make up for stagnating sales of processed people foods. Last year, Americans spent $29 billion on pet foods, double what pet owners spent in 2000, and in the past five years alone, American spending per pet increased 25 percent. Since 2015, companies like Smuckers and General Mills have acquired popular pet brands including Milk-Bone, Meow Mix, and Blue Buffalo. Altogether, just five companies, Nestle, Mars, Smuckers, Colgate, and General Mills, represent 70 percent of retail pet food sales….Mars’ move also raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and uncompetitive advantages when it comes to Mars-employed vets recommending their products, including pet foods, dental chews, and DNA tests….But these foods can only be purchased with a veterinarian’s recommendation and they come at a high premium. Mars’ acquisition of animal hospitals makes them both a maker and a gatekeeper for these particular products.
Banfield and VCA executives have said they do not require or encourage doctors to stock or recommend Mars brands, but by owning the hospitals Mars has a strong incentive to engage in just that kind of promotion…. VCA has also clearly stated their motives to increase profits by pushing more services….But as pet food companies play a larger role in pet health care, it creates conflicts of interest that could potentially influence practices and jeopardize trust .https://www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications/mars-buys-another-veterinary-network-candy-company-turned-pet-care-giant-furthers-influence-animal-health
