    The farm industry loves their subsidies and will fight hard to keep them coming.

    In the US anyway. I’m sure it’s similar in other countries but for ostensible cultural reasons.

    Edit: I checked to make sure, this is in the US.

      Dairy ain’t going anywhere, it’s legitimately a national security thing for food scarcity (government cheese). It’s still also heavily subsidized of course (as is Corn). Now if that could be swung to a different animal (sheep or goats), that’d have a significant impact environmentally.
