Well, one explanation I've heard blames the farm lobby.
It does look like they are quite powerful, but OTOH it's not obvious to me why people eating grains benefit farmers more than people eating meat.
The farm lobby might not include all farmers equally-- grain farmers might have more of an edge.
Well, a large fraction of the grains grown in the US is fed to livestock, so you'd have to be thinking about something more specific than “grain farmers”.
