Tax meat until it’s too expensive to eat, new UN report suggests

Tax meat until it’s too expensive to eat, new UN report suggests - Ice Age Now:
"Meat should be taxed at the wholesale level to raise the price and deter consumption, says a new report from the UN’s International Research Panel (IRP).
This will (supposedly) save the environment and prevent global warming.
“I think it is extremely urgent,” said Professor Maarten Hajer of Utrecht University in the Netherlands, lead author of the report.
“All of the harmful effects on the environment and on health needs to be priced into food products.”
...Rather than taxing the meat at the retail level (in supermarkets and shops), Hajer recommended taxing it at the wholesale level.
“We think it’s better to price meats earlier in the chain, it’s easier,” said Hajer.
...“Meanwhile, Denmark is considering a recommendation from its ethics council that all red meats should be taxed,” Premack continues.
“The council argued in May that Danes were “ethically obliged” to reduce their consumption to curb greenhouse gas emissions.”...
