    We already have government interference. Meat, dairy and eggs receive MASSIVE subsidies and marketing aids from the government. That’s a big part of the reason why it can be sold so cheaply to the consumer.

      I don’t disagree. If there were agricultural subsidies that let me eat more delicious hamburgers for less money, and those delicious burgers just happened to be plant based, I’d be happy eating more burgers for less bucks.

      The specifics are beyond me though, and there are already so many agricultural subsidies targeting so many different products.
