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?
