yes the government should tell people what they are and aren't allowed to eat

i propose cockroaches and grasshoppers in lieu of chicken and beef. anyone else have suggestions?

There's a difference between telling people what to eat and incentivizing things that give off a lot of greenhouse gases.

With automobiles, the governments are trying to incentivize greener solutions. With food, things like subsidies incentivize processes that give off a lot of greenhouse gases. Should the government incentivize differently for food than for cars? By incentives I mean things like subsidies. Tax dollars.

What makes cars different from the food supply chain when tax dollars are being spent on subsidies?
