> for-profit incentives of dairy industry

The fact that demand for dairy was "manufactured" is somewhat orthogonal to whether or not it is for-profit.

Vegan cheeses aren't subsidized at 73 cents on the dollar, dairy is.

Ok, I can grant dairy should not be subsidized. It would make it more expensive but that would be fair, and eating cheese would be something a bit more special, as it should.
Yeah, I also got the number wrong - it's 73 cents on the dollar not 40.
