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


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.


Most subsidized plant agriculture is used to feed livestock
