Reply to comment by BGAL7090 in Global food consumption alone could add nearly 1 °C to warming by 2100. Seventy five percent of this warming is driven by foods that are high sources of methane (ruminant meat, dairy and rice). by Plant__Eater

We should subsidize, but at the customer end not the producer end. I don't think I'm willing to take away easy, cheap protein from poor people. Milk in particular seems so important to me because it's no prep. But I'm not poor and I think the shelf price should reflect the real cost to produce.

Meat is the more expensive protein source. Legumes are far and away healthier and cheaper than meat, not to mention cheaper to produce and requiring a smaller land area to grow.
