If they could stop subsidizing grains, that would be great. Grocery stores are like 90% repackaged grains. It's disgusting.

[Anonymous No.10579867]

Yes, stop subsidising corn to kill HFCS and abolish sugar tariffs, free market for the win.

The bait is too obvious, try a more subtle approach in future. 4/10, still got some replies, but if we weren't so infested by /pol/redditors and shills, you wouldn't get away with it. It works because there are now unironically people this stupid here.

I remember the fucking clawing and screeching for all 8 fucking years of obama, that he was satan, that he was the NWO, that he was coming to take the guns away, that blue helmets were going to round everyone up into fucking FEMA camps

No. Literally the reason governments exist in the first place is to try and keep a stable food supply.

[Anonymous No.10581495]

Businesses shouldn't get handouts.

[Anonymous No.10581770]

No but there should be less emphasis on large factory scale farms and more benefits for small family farms farms and more diverse crops.

But the situation is probably more complex than that and there is I'm sure a considerable amount of bureaucracy involved which causes all kinds of problems.

This is the kind of sensible response that gets my dick hard

>it's more effecient to use massive quantities of petroleum to manufacture the chemicals, produce and ship the food and scorch the earth turning the planet into a toxic waste dump than produce vegetables, animals and fruits sustainably
Sure thing, monsanto/dow idf!

There's nothing wrong with the EU paying out 57 billion annually to support small farms that on average produce less than 10k a year in revenue. And we banned synthetic fertilizer, billions would starve. Truly a leftist dream.

[Anonymous No.10584052]

>>10579423
Entirely? Probably not, but they should be reduced. Good luck on any welfare reform ever though. Once you give it away for free, you can never take it back. The left uses this to buy votes, and demonize anyone who would have the audacity to think that maybe people are leeching too much off their fellow citizens.

Source for any of that gibberish? Oh, right monsanto/dow websites
>eliminate the oversight capabilities of the EPA, USDA and FDA to reign in the wholesale, systematic destruction of the earth by megacorporations without consequences. Trully the dream of the right.

[Anonymous No.10584396]

The reason that the government subsidized farming is to promote production without causing a price war. It allows food to be plentiful and cheap without farmers going out of business en mass like in the late 1800s. So long as agricultural advance can keep up with demand this system is sustanible.

Small local farms are important and make communities better places in ways that cannot be quantified in terms of dollars. Where I live, farms are being replaced with housing developments every year. It's turning what used to be a nice place to live into another cookie-cutter crowded suburb.
Choosing policy based on what is the most efficient in terms of gdp growth or whatever makes for a shitty society to live in.

The government should nationalize the soda industry and then eliminate it whole.

[Anonymous No.10587010]

Not if they care about self-sufficiency. Farms in many industrial countries are consolidated into huge estates because running costs are so high and margins are so small. The food retail industry pays pennies on the dollar for food. Without subsidy, food needs to be imported, making supply vulnerable and untenable.

It's such a complex situation, the government has their fingers in too many things to just stop subsidizing something and hoping it balances out. I think they have their claws in so much shit right now, anything anyone does to move money from one sector to another is going to piss someone off.

But fucking with food...boy, you're asking for immediate trouble.
