Thanks for answering my question! 🙂
Update: I did eventually decide not to volunteer there anymore. After spending a few full days helping out on the farm, I concluded that I really just wasn’t comfortable with the exploitation that was so ingrained in all the operations of the organization. I couldn’t reconcile my actions with my ethics for many of the reasons that you mentioned on the podcast, so I thought it would be best to stop donating my time.
Thanks again, and keep up the great work. 🙂
I’d like to put a positive spin on the issue of weather animal ag subsidies make veganism futile
The politicians supporting animal-ag subsidies are under a mistaken impression that drop in demand is a short term trend, but as veganism persists and grows, maintaining production with subsidies will get costlier both economically and politically, and there *will* be a breaking point where they become untenable.
So the government support is masking progress that we’ve made, but the effects of this progress are still there, latent and waiting to break through. As that government support collapses and shifted to other foods, there will be serious knock-on effects from prices reflecting production costs.
So, as I think you concluded as well, this means that consumer power and campaigning to accelerate reduction in government support of animal ag complement each other, but the political approach would be a non-starter without the consumer choices to back it up.
(I listened to a few episodes in a row, sorry if I’m commenting on the wrong episode here)
