More than half of the American government food subsidies go to the dairy and meat industries. Less than 1% goes to fruit and vegetable cultivation; less than 2% goes to nuts and legumes. One of the main causes of the destruction of the environment is meat/dairy farming. Research is showing that diets high in meat and dairy are linked with increased chances of disease. Research shows that diets consisting of mainly organic fruits and vegetables are linked to decreased chances of disease. Organic fruits and vegetables are too expensive for the majority of the population due to the government subsidizing. In order to reduce disease rates and reduce the destruction of the planet we should stop subsidizing the meat and dairy industries and instead subsidize organic and aeroponic farming.
