Are you ready for the meat tax?

I heard on the news that, in Germany, a meat tax is up for consideration. It will be similar to luxury taxes on cigarettes and alcohol. It is part of their effort to address climate change.

Burger King is carrying Impossible Burgers to get us used to NOT eating meat.

I would be happy with that, and I like chicken and fish...but my doctor says I HAVE to eat beef. There's some sort of chemical in it that helps your kidneys to function better.

What are people like me supposed to do when they tax beef beyond our budgets?

I’d prefer a sugar tax, that’s more dangerous to people’s health than meat.

@76starships I'd prefer the damn government leave our food choices alone.

@76starships is it tho? meat is the leading cause of death among humans, not sugar

@DunDunDun @Both of you, the leading cause of death among humans is Heart disease and there about 50 different causes of heart disease, plaque in the arteries being the main cause...and THAT is most often caused by chronic dehydration, alcohol, and smoking, all of which scar the arteries so that plaque can accumulate.

@4meAndyou be in denial all you want but it's a fact that eating meat increases your risk of heart disease

@DunDunDun I actually did the research, unlike you. Research is what I DO. Maybe you should look things up instead of being snotty about things you don't really know.
