And none of that, if true, matters in the slightest to most of America because they otherwise wouldn't be able to afford these foods.

but it does matter, why not subsidize local produce instead of factory-farmed meat? if we just wave away "it's too expensive" as some natural state (which it's not, it's shaped by the government) then nothing ever improves

we need to ask why people can't afford what's arguably better for the environment and the workers producing it
