Finally, we took a look at investments made by Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook. Zuckerberg has made clear that he has no problem with traditional meat, and he doesn’t appear to have invested in the alternative meat or meat reduction strategies in any significant way (a Zuckerberg-backed fund did apparently invest in biotech company Modern Meadow, maker of leather alternatives, in 2019). He has made headlines, however, with two of his meat-related projects. In 2011, Zuckerberg announced that for the next year he would only be eating meat from animals that he personally killed. He later explained that this meant he’d “basically become a vegetarian,” since he was killing relatively few animals. He ended the experiment after a year.
More recently, Zuckerberg revealed that he’s been raising cattle on his ranch in Hawaii, with the goal of creating “some of the highest quality beef in the world.” He said that the cows are wagyu and angus breeds, and that he’s feeding them macadamia meal and beer that they produce on the ranch. Zuckerberg was widely criticized for this, in part because it’s unclear whether macadamia meal and beer is a suitable diet for cows.
