I think it would cost more anyway, RD. Producing a pound of beef consumes infinitely more resources than producing, say, a pound of grain.

What is free market about subsidies? All kinds of welfare are harmful.

This may have something to do with it, but it certainly isn't everything. Hamburger you can process, and then freeze it for a month, then cook it up. The components for a salad have to be processed, shipped, and eaten, all in a relatively short time.

I've looked but I can't find exactly how much subsidy the meat and dairy industries get.

Symptom, I'd say. SO MUCH is being given away (the disease) that googling "subsidy total dairy OR beef OR meat site:.gov" comes back with boatloads of stuff but too much to sift through.

Another way to look at it is that if it was at least a bit above board and unambiguous, there wouldn't be so much being given away.

At this point though, there really isn't a difference in the reality of the situation, is there?
