If you take those externalized costs which are about 414 billion
00:00:05.964 --> 00:00:11.022
If the meat and dairy industries were required to internalize those costs
00:00:11.303 --> 00:00:13.043
if they had to bear those costs themselves
00:00:13.513 --> 00:00:18.001
the costs of the retail prices of meat and dairy would skyrocket
00:00:18.142 --> 00:00:22.314

00:00:22.397 --> 00:00:25.234
A 4 Big Mac would go to 11
