I don't necessarily agree that the reason salads are costlier due to subsidies (I only used that since it's the title of the article)...

However, the market obviously can't afford the beef, and if we had a sensible policy to promote healthy foods (really? do we actually need as much artery clogging red meat as we eat????) then the subsidies for meat is a part of the problem.

And that's the point. Fewer animal farmers = less animal products = more fruits/veggies (and lets reduce the massive cereal/grain subsidies while we're at it). Our policy is backwards and flawed.
