This is an absolutely bonkers stat: "In the EU, cattle farmers got at least 50% of their income from direct subsidies."
How are we supposed to deal with the environmental impact of cattle when they're so propped up by subsidies?
It's the same with fossil fuels: get rid of these peverse subsidies and the market will do much of the work of reducing these destructive industries for us.
