In reply to the discussion: How does one turn a house of four omnivores into a vegetarian family? [View all]CrispyQ
(37,603 posts)34. King Corn, an excellent documentary about how govt subsidizes corn
& how most of the corn grown goes to two places, animal feed & HFCS. Big agra farming is completely different than mom-pop farms. You should see the size of the equipment they use now. When they purchase a family farm, they usually doze the house & any outbuildings, because it's wasted space & it's easier to plow/plant the fields without having to maneuver around the buildings. Highly recommended film!

They might directly subsidize the meat industry, too, I don't know.

For me, it was shifting meal planning from a dominant meat to a grain or legume with some meat.
