Wall Street Journal is the journal of record for the ruling economic elite who make money in industrial farming.
If less meat was consumed, organic farming could feed everyone. That said, I believe in a hopefully (mostly) fair market, and people should choose with their wallets and perhaps their meat addictions, what they want to buy.
Also, subsidizing things like virtually free water for meat production is arguably bad for society. I like to eat meat several times a month, and I along with everyone else should pay the externalities costs like harm to the environment, much greater energy and water use, etc.
Personal freedom, while curtailing government welfare payouts to corporations.
