    Yeah for sure but I was just referring to a hypothetical where we just stop using the money that is for factory farm subsidies and use it for sustainable plant-based ag.

    In a better world, we wouldn’t be throwing away 40% of the food made because it wasn’t able to turn a profit. But in a better world, the US probably wouldn’t spend $800 billion a year killing poor brown people in other countries too.

    And tbh, attempting to pursue the food waste issues you mentioned might be an easier route to feed the population.

    Probably won’t happen since capitalism absolutely has to turn a profit even at the cost of people living.
