Beef and lamb receive 580 times more in EU subsidies than legumes, a report has found, despite scientists urging people to get more of their protein from less harmful sources.
Analysis by the charity Foodrise found the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP) provides “unfair” levels of support to meat-heavy diets that doctors consider unhealthy and climate scientists consider environmentally destructive.
It found beef and lamb were subsidised 580 times more than legumes in 2020, while pork was subsidised nearly 240 times more. Dairy, meanwhile, received 554 times more in subsidies than nuts and seeds.
Cause beef and lamb are delicious. Seems clear. Need tastier legumes.
See, this is what all the carnist arguments come down to. Shamelessly willing to sacrifice animal lives, the climate, and by extension the future of your own species on this planet for your tastebuds, and don’t anyone dare criticize you on it otherwise they’re the problem.
pretty much. they’re like toddlers. immediate satisfaction, the planet and the animals be damned

Maybe humans are delicious too. Especially the young ones
Could be. If they are too tasty they get subsidized.
