Is the tax on meat because of attacks on meat?
GlassDog · 41-45, M
Taxing something to change behaviour seems like a lazy political solution although sadly one that works. Although it works here for alcohol, nicotine, and sugar, meat is a different proposition because it's not intrinsically unhealthy to humans, and the issues with meat production won't be fixed by taxing those who eat it.

@revenant That's not the tax though, that's social influence.

@MartinTheFirst it goes with it. Push the sin thing and tax the deplorables. Here.

@MartinTheFirst It's really made a difference here. In my group of friends, only one was a non-smoker, and now we're all non-smokers except for one. Then again, cigarettes cost almost double where I am than where you are.

@revenant I imagine it would.

It would need a lot more evidence for me to agree to taxes on meat. I do agree that some controls over calorie content on meals is a good idea.

@TheConstantGardener they argue that it is not the calorie content but the ingredients.
TheConstantGardener · 56-60, M
@revenant But it's cals that make you fat isn't it? I mean every solution to obesity that I've seen advocates controlling calories as a first step.

Raising taxes generally doesn't work. I think we need a flat tax because it is the most fair, rather than taxing the wealthy at an exorbitant rate.

It sounds stupid.
So, is meat a luxury item now?
