Regarding opportunity costs, nowadays, the question in the US should
not be whether school lunches use enable the US government to help the
military, or subsidize small farmers, or subsidize large
agribusinesses.
It should be whether that same money would be better spent by hiring
the farmers to become game keepers instead. Instead of farming, the
land would be places where wild animals live. Aquafers need not be
drained for irrigation west of the 100th meridian.
Indeed, the game keepers, the one-time farmers, could organize hunting
for some wild animals (hunting laws would have to be changed). Other
animals could be protected ... as in `this year, we are not hunting
any big elk, but only ill or elderly elk ... pretend you are a wolf
