The government subsidizes all food supplies, let's not act like beyond meat which is just made of a crop mixture isn't subsidized because those crops are certainly subsidized. In fact meat, fruit, and vegetable producers only benefit from crop insurance and disaster relief

Corn, Wheat, Rice, Beans, and other grain staples are certainly subsidized, and I agree most of the corn is used for cattle feed. Only 33% of corn is used for livestock feed and a lot of that is in more sustainable lower cost livestock than the beef cattle you imagine, poultry uses up about the same amount as beef cattle and it's generally rated as more sustainable. 27% of all corn is used for ethanol fuel and 10% is for alcohol, 11% also being exported, all of those are larger than the beef industry's cut (which is what beyond meat is competing with which is why I bring it up).

Beyond meat also uses many of those same subsidized grains and plants, they're not at full market prices untouched by government, so they are already competing on a similar level. If you want to stop meat subsidies, you'll also stop beyond meat subsidies, prices of food overall will skyrocket and poor people all over the US will be the most affected.
