    No I do not think it is right to impose choice on others and I never said as much. I believe people ought to be free to waste money if they so see fit. But when it comes to the collective level, we ought to be subsidizing sustainable agriculture and not corn and beef as we (USA) currently do. I.E. when it comes to policy the policy should be directed towards incentivizing people towards sustainability. This doesn’t take away people’s free choice to eat beef, it just means they do so on their own dollar and not the governments.

      Since you mentioned sustainable agriculture i suggest you to read the book “everything i want to do is illegal by joel salatin”. He is a pioneer on real substainable farming, but spoiler alert the government make his job super hard and really expensive because politics need to help the poor bilionaires that can’t afford the 3rd yacht
