Who said we should eliminate subsidies from both sides? Subsidizing good things is good. Subsidizing bad things is bad.
We should subsidize the alternatives. I’m not some free market moron. I just recognize that the subsidies for milk make it cheaper to produce, and thus increase its production. Increased milk production means more byproducts with greater availability and cheaper costs. Whether it’s a waste product or not is irrelevant, price is determined by supply and demand. Decrease supply, prices go up.
Then, maybe, we could make a world where no one exploits animals for their milk. It’s definitely a first step.
Sorry it should have been understood that I meant eliminate it from the cost comparisons between it and it’s alternatives.
I thought I did a good job of saying even if you eliminate the dairy subsidy it won’t affect the cost of the by products used enough to stop them from being used. Because there is too much by product. Scale back all of the excess to just the amount that people will actually consume and not the excess created and still the remainder won’t have enough uses to use it all.
