Transplanting a Seattleite

Dairy industry power seems to be holding up better than meat industry power. I think the consolidation around a very few major players (Tyson being the big one) and a whole bunch of problems (E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, water contamination etc.) in the food chain have eroded their influence. And maybe there's been a generational shift in the regulators at the USDA reducing their previous hostility towards vegetarians.
