Beef and lamb receive 580 times more in EU subsidies than legumes, a report has found, despite scientists urging people to get more of their protein from less harmful sources.
Analysis by the charity Foodrise found the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP) provides “unfair” levels of support to meat-heavy diets that doctors consider unhealthy and climate scientists consider environmentally destructive.
It found beef and lamb were subsidised 580 times more than legumes in 2020, while pork was subsidised nearly 240 times more. Dairy, meanwhile, received 554 times more in subsidies than nuts and seeds.
Oh yes, because we all know more people suffer from iron deficiency than uric acid excess, obesity increased risk of cancer and other well known illments that come from excessive meat consumption.
It literally says in the article that people eat too much meat which is unhealthy.

Latest studies say sugar is the root of that evil. And there’s plenty of veggies that cause it, and of course seafood.
Sugar and UPF (which may or may not contain meat)
It’s magnitudes less likely than iron deficiency. And some studies attribute increased risk of cancer to UPF (which may or may not contain meat) rather than meat protein. Except one study that I know of that found esophagus cancer be correlated to non heme iron consumption significantly above the recommend dosage.
Agreed.
