OT Cows are ruminants. They eat grass. If you don't have grass you can import feed stock. The Europeans started treating their cows as if they were carnivorous. Feeding their cows with the ground up carcasses of dead animals and this caused the mad cow disease.

They could import the meat from Australia, Brazil Canada US or Argentina. But they prefer to raise their own herds even though is not economic.

Sugar is the same instead of importing sugar from Brazil they subsidize the root beet sugar production.

Try taking off from Schiphol Amsterdam airport at early hours or in the evening. You'll see the iluminated green houses all over the place.

Try landing in Munich airport. You'll see farms the size of a soccer field. But they have tennis courts and BMW parked there.

Part of the 230 billion will be used to buy new BMW's and more tennis courts, perhaps.
