With the rising evidence pointing to the environmental and ethical implications of industrial factory farming-

joecool123_us asked:


-do you think that is perhaps time that our government considers rethinking where it puts our tax money? The US federal government gives subsidies, paid for like everything with tax dollars, to farmers that produce Dairy products, meat products, and grain products. There is no government support for farmers who grow fruits and vegitables (increasingly shown to be key to good health, and be less environmentally damaging than meat or dairy.)

Is it time we either go the Liberitarian way and get the government out of the food industry entirely, allowing free market forces to shape the prices and availability of food sources, or should we go the authoritarian way and provide the same subsidies to all farmers regardless of what they grow.
Thoughts?
