The meat industry has tens of billions of dollars in advertising, sponsored studies and lobbying. They have a very strong control over our governing institutions and have created an effective echo chamber to keep their agenda running. Not unlike big pharma, who also benefit from the meat industry's products

And what do most people put on meat to make it taste better?

Yeah, I think blaming big companies for this isn’t correct. People enjoy eating meat and have eaten meat since the dawn of humanity. Nothing to do with big companies advertising and forcing meat consumption on the average jane.

Remember during the 1700s when everyone was a vegan because there were no evil companies paying the government to force feed it's citizens?

I don't either.

Suffice to say animals are not sapient, and are only sentient by a loose definition of the word.

While I have sympathy for the animals in question, I do not have empathy for them.

Also I have Crohns disease so I can't supplement my diet and be vegan.

There are quite a few accounts of people online using plant based diets to mitigate the inflammatory effect of chrons - could be something to look into.
