We could start by removing subsidies so the actual prices become clear. When the actual price of meat has to be paid in the stores there'd be a shift, I guess.

  We could do that with all food too. If you look at the subsidies, they are typically in grants/payments to farmers. When the produce is exported, we are essentially subsidizing a foreign country with our tax money.

    And often killing the domestic production in that country, because they can't compete with the highly subsidized import.

      That depends on the country's current level of production and tariff system.
