FoodStamps was literally created to give farmers money, indirectly.
There's one issue with supporting individual products - government cannot change these rules with the consumption patterns of individuals.
As such - it's not the subsidies that are the primary issue, it's the fact that the government decided that milk gets the subsidies... but almond milk gets the full market price.(As in - vegans are actually financing carnivorous american lifestyle more, than the other way around)
- philwelch 6y agoThere have been counterexamples, such as federal dietary guidelines that promoted margarine as healthier than butter. In any case, almond farming in particular is just awful.
