Look I'm not trying to defend the free market, but agriculture is not a free market. It's heavily subsidized and is subject to a lot of regulations

Yeah it is worth mentioning that the meat, dairy, etc. industries do receive outsized subsidies

If I were in charge of the agriculture subsidies I would totally rework them to favor a vegetarian diet.

If you live in the EU, there's a citizens intative (like a petition but more official) for that exact thing that needs 1 million signatures https://eci.ec.europa.eu/025/public/#/screen/home
