Vegan Stuff Pt. 3

It'd be nice to be able to not have to find either an Indian or Thai spot along the way for road trip'n, but I am still grateful for google's map app for making that a simple thing to do.

Ahh, yes...healthcare.

Here is some stuff we can cut out of our tax budget.

"Between 1995 and 2012 , American taxpayers helped pay $4.1 billion in livestock subsidies. It’s a big number, but in reality what animal food producers actually receive—indirectly—is far more than that. The author of “Meatonomics” calculated that each year the U.S. spends $38 billion to subsidize meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. Why is that number so much higher than the official livestock subsidies? One reason is feed grain subsidies. From 1995 to 2012, corn producers pocketed over $84 billion, and soybean growers $27 billion—which makes it considerably cheaper to buy corn and soybeans than to grow them. Since 60 percent of the corn and almost half of the soybeans that sprout from American soil are used for feeding livestock, subsidizing these crops is, to a large extent, tantamount to subsidizing the meat industry—and encouraging meat consumption."

"In 1992, direct health-care costs attributable to meat eating in the U.S. were over $61 billion—from hypertension, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and so on.

In “Meatonomics,” Simon estimates that external costs of the animal food industry add up to at least $414 billion yearly—not only in health care but also in environmental costs such as pollution. For every dollar of beef or chicken sold, Simon argues, the industry imposes $1.70 of externalities on us. (In economics, an externality is a cost that affects a party that did not choose to incur that cost and which is not reflected in the cost of the goods.)


So the next time you buy $10 worth of steak think about this: you are in reality paying $27 for it, just in installments— part at the checkout counter, part with your taxes, part with your health insurance."

Now that I think about it, there is a group I like to post my VFKT food pictures in called 'What Fat Vegans Eat'. I recall a lot of the members are from across the pond.

"Sausage Weilding Extremeists" are three words I don't think I have ever seen in sequence before today...
