The point isn't about subsidies per se, the point is that vegetables are generally sustainable, while meat at this scale and with this demand is not. Subsidies only hide this fact from the consumer.

By that logic the government is hiding the fact that vegetables aren't economically sustainable either. You're just changing your definition of sustainable to fit your argument (from ecologically to economically and then back to ecologically when the economic part was shown to be false). Pick a definition and stick to it.
