YES. THIS. I always wonder why this argument is not more popular. The animal welfare argument IS valid but is not going to land with a lot of people. Pointing out these industries are getting a free ride, however... It's the subsidies that tick me off. We should be a civilization of mostly plant-eaters with the occasional dairy and meat meal. Instead, we are a civilization of carnivores because we subsidize the meat industrial complex so heavily. We should internalize the cost of pollution these industries create, not give them free money to continue destroying the planet.
