What an incredibly fucked up thing to do. I’m not a vegan but I don’t see any reason why meat should be subsidized at all, given the numerous problems with both raising and consuming it.
I agree. I’m a meat eater but if the market forced me to not eat meat anymore due to ecological conditions then I wouldn’t eat meat anymore. Too bad the market only cares about sell, sell, sell. And in this world, nothing matters unless it sells.
Certainly that’s the case in the US. It would be suicide for US republicans adhere to their conservative values and drop subsidies, which would outrage all the farmers whose vote republicans rely on.
But why not the dems? No farmers vote for dems, so no loss there. But I suppose there would be enough meat-eating dems who would abandon their own party. Just like in California a politician tried to push a fuel tax and got voted out by both parties.

it pretty much guarantees conservative voting areas in many countries, which is why its subsidized, and plus the cheap labor.
