    We subsidize all the wrong things. A McDouble is out of reach for most as a casual snack without subsidies, and arguably it should be out of reach so plant based alternatives have a chance at competing. Same with oil. Should gradually roll back the subsidies so people can have time to switch, but they should still be rolled back.

      McDouble

      casual snack

      I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but casual snack?

          I’m 6’2", wouldn’t refer to it as a casual snack. When I hear casual snack, I’m thinking like an orange or a protein bar or something, not a whole-ass burger. Yeah, it’s not massive, but not a small snack either

                Not at all, they’re about the same size and mass

                We don’t eat based exclusively off caloric value and you know it
