Quantcast Vegetarian StarMoby “Grit TV” Interview Discusses Meat Industry Subsidies (Video)

Moby and co-editor of the book Gristle, Miyun Park, sat down with Grit TV to discuss all things food, factory farming and environment.

Moby’s “beef” is with the subsidization of animal products.

He says these subsidies make meat and dairy cheap, which is why so many of the poor are forced to consume these unhealthy items.

“You go to the inner city and people only have access to cheap, animal products. They don’t have access to fresh produce.”

“That’s why McDonald’s is cheap, why Burger King is cheap,” he continues.

He’d like to see the subsidies cut from these industries.

When you remove the “fat” padding (government subsidies) and price these products based on what it actually costs to produce them, what do you get?

A pound of beef, for example, “Would be roughly around $30 a pound.”
