  • These subsidies actually promote the production of unhealthy food linked to disease, effectively subsidizing sickness.
INSIGHT

  • Subsidies do not only promote sickness by supporting unhealthy foods but also finance cures for avoidable diseases.
  • Meat and dairy industries profit while collectively harming health and environment, creating a paradoxical system.
