Insiders reveal problems at Upside Foods
If only we subsidised this as much as we subside meat production. Or perhaps subsidise nothing. Either way it’s not yet a level playing field.

Why do you think we subsidize meat production? Isn't it sugar and soybeans that we subsidize?

In the west we subsidize water which indirectly subsidizes beef production.

I guess awarding the original water rights might now be seen as a subsidy, in the same way as giving away land for homesteading, but that happened a long time ago. That’s not an ongoing subsidy.
