Zero taxes on fruit & vegetables and higher taxes on meat & dairy?
In our recent study in Nature Food, we show that a reform of value-added taxes would be an effective tool for achieving a more sustainable food system with health, environmental, and economic benefits.

The study shows that women seem to have easy enough "uptake" but that moving men in a #lessmeat direction is more challenging.
