Labor/resource intensive Chicken, Turkey, Pig is often cheaper per pound than a Salad, Vegetables, Fruit, Walnuts and other healthy foods despite raising animals needing ~10lbs of crops for just 1lb of cooked flesh in return. How is it so cheap? Government subsidies encourage people to consume more animal products, which then destroys our health care system (ie: heart disease, colon cancer). Many dr's and dietitians are all for less to no animal products and we live longer on average. So subsidize healthy foods more than help animal ag with our taxes. Factory-Farms already treat animals horribly to keep profitable.
