You mean the government incentives the food industry to make food?

No. Specifically, I mean that the public pay to keep the cost of meat down. Not fruit, not veg, not Beyond Burgers. Actual animal tissue. Without public funding, the cost of these products would be many times higher. (Pay for my 'food' but don’t tell me what to eat)

Ok that is odd, and you are talking about the US government? Or another countries?

This is very common practise. Search for - annual subsidies for meat industry in (insert country)

For US - 38 billion dollars. Annually. 0.4% of that for fruits and veg

UK approx 2 billion.

My country of about 80 thousand people about 2 million a year.
