    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.

      I don’t see why it has to be government cheese and couldn’t be government rice and beans or government lentils. Put the subsidy dollars into plant foods and it’ll happen.

        I (and my lactose intolerant intestines) wholeheartedly agree. We seem determined to recreate the conditions of the dustbowl by neglecting crop rotation and mono-crops.
