I don't think that makes a lot of sense but beyond that I don't get why the high-carb vs. low-carb discussion turns into a meat vs. plant-based debate in many places here.

Most people these days de-facto have a high-carb, high-meat diet. Conversely it's perfectly possible to have a low-meat, low-carb diet (I'm currently doing a vegetarian keto). To me it sounds just like yet another excuse to dunk on the silly hippy vegoonz.

What is the "veggie industry"? Industrial agriculture?

Industrial agriculture benefits a lot from animal farming given that 67% of crops are sold as livestock feed.

Or is there a secret society of leek producers controlling the world?

You write like the government is literally force feeding people vegetables…

Name one vegetable producer that makes the kind of profit that meat and feedstock producers do.
