Fakemeat
From the hypocrisy files from the far left: Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz bankrolled $480 million activist crusade that’s made your bacon and eggs pricier.
A New York Post story discussed Dustin Moskovitz, the billionaire co-founder of Facebook and enterprise software company Asana, who has talked openly about how he likes to eat meat.
But in a curious twist, the lefty Democratic megadonor has poured nearly a half-billion dollars into activist campaigns that have made it harder to run animal farms and contributed to the rising cost of eggs and meat for millions of American consumers — all while one of Moskovitz’s foundations holds a nearly $89 million stake in plant-based company Impossible Foods — meaning it could benefit if pricier meat pushes more consumers toward meat alternatives, The California Post has learned.
The money trail runs through an entity of Moskovitz’s philanthropic empire: Coefficient Giving. On paper, Coefficient Giving says its mission is simple: reduce suffering on factory farms. Since 2016, the nonprofit has handed out more than $480 million toward that cause. But farmers and industry insiders told The Post the operation amounts to a well-funded pressure campaign, bankrolling activist groups, ballot measures, corporate pressure tactics, lawsuits and media projects that they say have helped drive up the cost of meat, eggs and pork for everyday Americans.
