This is nonsense. People elsewhere in the world pay 50% to 100% more than what Americans pay for beef.
Removing some subsidies and making beef slightly more expensive would save money and people would just eat beef one day less/week.

- Aerroon 6y agoAnd they'll replace their meat with what? More sugar? Bread? Sugary bread? I think you underestimate how big of a deal food is to people. I believe that any change will be towards food that's even worse for people.
- dnhz 6y agoHopefully with less food in this theoretical scenario because most people are overweight.
- jamil7 6y agoWhy would people replace meat with sugar?
- thejynxed 6y agoBecause of how much of it is added into every alternative meat replacement product, and it's a shockingly high amount if you read the labels on some "organic" and "plant-based" products.
- jamil7 6y agoI have a few issues with this. As far as I know health concerns related to meat replacements aren't to do with sugar levels, probably more likely with saturated fat and sodium (which exists in regular meat too). Also I don't know why you bothered to put organic in there as well since the we're talking about meat replacement. Finally I think you're making the assumption that if we don't eat meat we need meat replacements at all.
- xorcist 6y agoFor many people, those calories doesn't need to be replaced with anything.
