"We only have Monbiot's word for this, but I believe him. His anti-meat stance is well known and I have no reason to think he is not sincere."

I'm not so sure. In this article, he not only endorses meat consumption, but says that cattle should be fed on grass.

As a close observer of Guardianism, I'd say it is more likely that he is just swaying to align himself with The Standard Liberal Opinion of the day, rather doing as his paymasters command, but we do have the receipts necessary to accuse him of bad faith.

This article by George Monbiot is highly entertaining. He seems to have gone full conspiracy theorist and is raving about the evil IEA and it's 'dark money'. He doesn't seem to understand that anyone could legitimately disagree with him.
