minus-squareGargantu8@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down3·1 year agoMy favorite thing is being charged extra for soy milk despite it being way less resource intensive and having a similar nutritional profile.
minus-squareTipRing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoThe US government heavily subsidizes dairy. They also subsidize soy, but it’s $20B for dairy and $4B for soybeans. The price of milk is below production costs.
minus-squareGargantu8@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoAhh that makes a lot of sense. I also wonder if the soy subsidy directly affects soymilk/human products or if it’s mostly for animal feed?
minus-squareTipRing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI tried to figure that out, but the answer proved elusive. Soybeans grown in the US are mostly used as feedstock though (about 70%).
minus-squareGargantu8@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoAppreciate the effort! I didn’t realize it would be as high as 70%!
minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah and I’ll tip a dollar when they clearly know what they’re doing.
minus-squareRaoulDook@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down5·1 year agoThe prediction was a bust, because I haven’t walked into any local coffee shops in 2024. I didn’t in 2023 either. I don’t know what the lattes cost because I don’t buy them. My coffee at home is great every day.
