I have no issue subsidizing food. It shouldn't be a race to the bottom. Different food has different costs and that's ok.

Most people would rather destroy the planet than eat less meat.
Döner subsidy. Tbh Beyond Döner would probably slap.
Ew for beyond, but the heura chicken imitation thingy in a durum? That's fire.
My local vegetarian joint sells a vegan durum with chicken and stuff so good that if they did delivery, I'd stop ordering actual durums forever.
I once fried some champignons and put those into a flatbread, and that slapped more than it had any right to.
Cause beef and lamb are delicious. Seems clear. Need tastier legumes.
See, this is what all the carnist arguments come down to. Proudly willing to sacrifice animal lives, the climate, and by extension the future of your own species on this planet for your tastebuds, and don't anyone dare criticize you on it otherwise they're the problem.
