We must TAX MEAT NOW.
A benevolent state has a duty to incentivise its citizens to make good choices for themselves, their environment and society. A caring government has the duty to disincentise its citizens from making bad choices for their health and the health of our planet.

Animal agriculture is a leading driver of deforestation, pollution, biodiversity loss, and water use, and is linked to significant emission output. Most animal-derived foods take a heavy toll on the planet, including beef, pork, dairy, lamb, chicken, eggs, and fish.

Ecological disaster is man-made, meaning every individual can choose to harm the environment more or less with their actions.
Eliminating just meat and milk from your diet reduces your eco impact from food 60%, yet our cowardly politicians won't tell unpopular truths.

Less meat in our diets would require less resources put into regulation.

Dr. Neal Barnard's Message to Vegan Parents
Plant-based diets have consistently been shown to carry significant health benefits when compared to meat. Meanwhile, the consumption of animal products can increase the risk of a number of chronic illnesses, including heart disease and some cancers.

Not all wealth is financial. In fact, barely any worth is monetary. The value of clean air, clean water, oxygen-rich forests, nutritious food... these are infinitely more valuable than the most expensive steak. The meat trade is killing our people and killing our planet.

Vince knows that unnatural deeds do breed unnatural troubles. Consuming corpses is not natural, and Nature will fight back till we stop clawing at her back. Meat comes at a cost and that cost should be paid by the consumers.
