Reply to comment by jasusquisto in New Zealand proposes taxing cow burps to reduce emissions by TDYDave2

ok, first off, more than half of the food we produce is wasted because corporations would rather let people starve that let them eat food that they are not able to sell.

second, not because we reduce production of meat it means we dont have anything alse to eat, you know that alternatives to cows exist right?

Yeah i do , and those alternatives are the biggest part of the waste you mentioned. Now , will corporations say "hey now that people are buying more of this , i'm not wasting so i can actually be cheaper than before" or " due to the higher demand i have to jack up prices" ?

Do you have a source to back up the claim that most of the wasted food can be considered "an alternative to meat"? and the hypotetical problem of prices can be fixed by supporting worker unions along with goverment regulations, its not hard to find solution to problems corporations made up for profits.
