What stance do you all take on the best approach to helping animals? You have given grants to movement building stuff, animal advocacy research and to meat alternative research. Have you tried to model which of these approaches is likely to be most effective? I personally think research into meat alternatives will be better than anything else, and am concerned that so much EA money is going/has gone into corporate campaigns and animal advocacy work without any explicit attempt to prioritise which intervention is best. (I also think the probability of negative impact for corporate campaigns is >5%.)
