Less than 1% of the world are vegans though. So 99% of people paying that are using it. Quite rare for more things in governance.
We’re all paying for things others benefit from. And yeah, I’m 100% against subsidizing meat. But the reason your food is expensive is because the vegan demographic is considered to be easily over charged for “specialty” overly packaged marketing heavy food products.
Also: people buying organic meatless groceries at Whole Foods-Amazon store won’t save the planet. Ever.
I’m not a vegan, but that’s not the right way to think about subsidies. It’s not about whether someone is a “meat eater” or a “vegan”. It’s about incentivizing consumption. The person eating meat once or twice a week subsidizes the person eating meat everyday. The more meat you eat, the more money society pays. Many people would cut back on eating meat if they had to pay the true cost.
The only thing that bothers me about your statement is how much my tax dollars pay to subsidize your stupid meat addiction.

Vegetarians don’t benefit.
“Meat addiction” lol
Cope
I refuse to cope. I shall instead die of grief. The end.
Because of your indifferent attitude. Your meat will now become more expensive than plant based meat, so you can eat your words
