AITA for giving my niece milk and cookies?

I do give a shit about the environment and animals, and if lab grown meat were cheaper, I would switch to it in a heart beat.

Oh OK so you give a shit as long as you don't have to sacrifice anything personally. Unfortunately that's the common attitude, and why our planet is doomed.

Where I live, a gallon of milk costs 2 dollars, 2 pounds of steak costs 3 dollars. If I can feed my family for $5 a day, an they enjoy it, I’m doing it.

You realize it would be even cheaper if you skipped the steak entirely and gave them water instead of milk, right? You'd be even closer to that million if you weren't wasting so much money on unnecessary meat and milk!
