Fight back!

Very, very troubling news broke a few weeks ago that taxpayer funded government organizations have been waging an illegal war against a plant based food producer.

The food producer in question is Hampton Creek. As recently as August 5, 2015, the World Economic Forum named Hampton Creek a Technological Pioneer, an honor that has previously been bestowed upon Google, Wikimedia, Kickstarter, and Dropbox. The product under attack is Just Mayo, a plant based vegan alternative to egg based mayonnaise.

The U.S. Government backed bodies that conspired — in violation of US Department of Agriculture rules that govern how USDA affiliated organizations can operate — against Hampton Creek include Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and the American Egg Board (whose head is selected by the Secretary of Agriculture, and whose board is appointed by the FDA).

Emails acquired via the Freedom of Information Act have revealed that multiple taxpayer funded government organizations have actively engaged in the attempt to intervene in the free market and shut down a competing product perceived to be a “major threat” to animal agricultural interests.
