We also massively subsidise plant based food production. And non-food production like tobacco...

  Most subsidized plant agriculture is used to feed livestock

  It's about a 10:1 ratio in favor of livestock, last time I checked the EU CAP.

    Does that consider corn subsidies a beef subsidy? America would be subsidizing corn production whether or not beef existed. The corn belt is VERY politically powerful, and america values having a basic food industry that is impossible to blockade in wartime. If beef producers stop needing that corn, we will just find more corn syrup and ethanol in random places.
