The Ill-Effect of Government SubsidiessteemCreated with Sketch.

in vegan •  7 years ago  (edited)

Before I was aware of how my diet directly affected my emotional, physical, and spiritual health, I was generally eating at fast food restaurants daily and buying the cheapest groceries I could find. Once I saw the importance of food and how it can destroy or restore your health, it immediately became clear to me that something was very wrong.

During my journey on regaining my health over my 21 years of multiple broken bones and hundreds of different ailments, I began to find out our natural diet of mainly fruits and vegetables was somehow the most expensive. This bothered me like anybody else who has now seen through the deception and propaganda that the big agricultural industries have been feeding us our whole lives. That's when I began researching about how the government is stealing our money through taxation and putting it into destructive industries that profit off the slaughter of millions of sentient beings.

Like many other Americans, I grew up on the traditional 3 meals a day often each being compromised of purely animal products. I found out that animal products where the reason my health was in such bad condition and immediately switched to a plant based diet. To this day it still infuriates me that my hard earned money is being used to incentive farmers to raise animals for slaughter. Whether you are still eating animal products or not, I wanted to share the main reasons why the world, especially America, has fallen for the trap.

  1. The price tags on these products are lies!
    When you are buying your meat and cheese at the market, remember that you already were taxed for this product to be available at a reasonable price. So like many things we buy with our debt based centralized currency, you are getting doubled taxed. The government has to incentive meat and dairy consumption through the means of subsidies so they can get the masses addicted to foreign animal products and flesh. Shoppers might not put as many animal based products in their carts if they had to pay the true price when they got to the register.

  2. Subsidies mask the true costs of exploiting, abusing, and killing animals.
    Just the mere fact alone that dairy and meat products are affordable to all family's regardless of income is extremely disturbing. Most of our fast food chains here in America are backed by government subsidies and corporations who have monetized the slaughter of animals. If the government is able to keep prices of dairy and meat artificially low, the incentive to consume these products will remain constant. One question everyone must face is the morality of putting a price on the life of a conscious being.

  3. The confusion about real healthcare.
    The healthcare industry is reliant on the public's lack of information regarding the food they consume. These meat and dairy industries are pumping out advertisement's and pseudo-science that allow them to keep profiting off your lack of knowledge. The reason I bring up healthcare is because it is just another problem that arises when people are not aware that food they eat is causing their health problems. This can be summed up by the Hegelian dialectic, which in this case would be the meat & dairy industry causing the problem and the healthcare industry offering the solution. Both of these industries work hand and hand to maintain their steady stream of tax revenue.


If you are one of the many who can't stand the barbaric nature of big government like me, please consider that going vegan can greatly weaken the control of these psychopaths and guide us to a more peaceful world!

Subsidies are immoral when they're funded by taxation... I mean extortion. Helping someone does not justify stealing from someone else. The ends do not justify the means.

Steem on!

Right on! It's really that simple! Thanks for the support...peace!

Am I allowed to cuss and swear on here? It's a f*cking disgrace what all countries are allowing! It's a simple system, feed the non-profitable with foods that cause illnesses faster. That way we can eradicate these lower class earlier, saving on pensions and 401k's. Make the intelligent pay more for 'health' foods but still lie to them and insist that meat even though a 1A carcegenic is healthy. Don't put a ban on kids eating meat, instead promote it with bear faced salami shit slices. But with all that said and I can go on forever, you know what, they've got a big problem with us Vegans, as we're growing so fast and ditching all their products including the toothpastes, shampoos, medicines and bs foods. Veganism is now, and it's happening!!! Great post, we need more people to be aware of the seriousness.

Well said! It's so easy to see how the odds have been stacked against us in every way when you don't have emotions attatched to issues like these. This wasn't even close to how hard I'm going to go on veganism in the future! I'm going to be triggering alot of carcass crunchers!! Thanks for your support much love!
