to be supported with taxpayer dollars

Taxpayer funded factory farms? Why would anyone want their tax dollars going to a universally cruel industry, or to a company caught doing horrific things time and time again?

How about we subsidize more plant-based products? Make it more affordable and accessible, and this pesky beef problem will simply go away.
