plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.

IDGAF. I'll drink milk & eat meat as long as I don't find it too expensive.

I'm well aware of farm subsidies. Don't agree and then if prices rise above my comfort zone... so be it.

So two follow up questions:

  • If you think the subsidies are bad, what if a party wanted to put on extra taxes due to carbon emissions? Would you vote for them?
  • If so, won't it be harder to break the habit when you're effectively priced out rather than earlier?
