Oh man, staple crops are subsidized waaaaaayyy more heavily than beef. Some of this grain goes to the beef industry as feed, so it is indirectly supported by taxes. But the reality is that the soy, barley, beans, or whatever else is in that veggie burger are subsidized directly and more extensively.

May as well not considering willful complicity in their deaths is wrong.

Oh well yes.

If it wasn't obvious I'm a raging vegetarian. Just annoying.

Yes I could stop eating a pound a day but keto and vegetarian don't mix well

Beef is more nutritious though.

So giving subsidies for that means more people can afford good nutritious food.
