Message to USDA: Cut the cheese subsidy!

Stop taxpayer handouts to the dairy industry! As people continue to switch from cow’s milk to plant-based milks, the demand for dairy products is plummeting. But as the dairy industry struggles, instead of lessening their production and thereby their impact on animals or better yet, moving into popular, healthy, and cruelty-free products, industry lobbyists are requesting – and receiving! – millions of dollars in taxpayer handouts. Please speak out against this egregious misuse of federal money. The government should promote fruits, vegetables, and other healthy plant foods, and not be subsidizing fat-laden, artery-clogging cheese that citizens are choosing to reject.  Please send a letter of protest to Secretary Vilsack.
