Slippery slope: removing subsidies for factory farmed meat inevitably leads to vegan fascism.
Nice.
- giantg2 5y agoThat's not at all what I'm saying. It's jumping to conclusions to think that we can just solve problems by using that 80% of production for people food crops vs animal feed. The paradigms are entirely different - from the types of crops the land can produce, to the labor involved in its production, etc. I also believe that the switch to plant based plastics over the coming decades will eat up whatever minor reduction in animal feed occurs. Even with higher prices for animal products you will still have a large market. Which is why you couldn't just remove subsidies and think that 80% number would shrink much.

- specialist 5y agoOk, thanks for clarifying. Agree wrt paradigms. I have zero clue about plant-based plastics. Guessing you mean stuff like starch packing peanuts. I don't know if removing subsidies would reduce meat consumption. Am eager to try. I'm tired of paying for corporate welfare.
- CuriouslyC 5y agoThe vegan fascists don't want sustainable animal cultivation, they want everyone to choke on soy products produced on land that was once full of diversity but is now a monoculture wasteland.
