Salad vs. Big Mac

Why does a salad cost more than a Big Mac? Part of the reason is that a huge proportion of our food subsidies go to meat while only 0.37 percent go to fruits and vegetables.

That makes meat and dairy artificially cheap, so we end up consuming more of it than we should, and getting fatter.
