Tax on Tobacco, Tax on Gas, Tax on . . . Meat?
A new report by Britain’s Farm Animal Investment Risk & Return says that several counties tax goods that are unhealthy either for people or for the environment: over 180 countries tax tobacco, 60 tax carbon and 25 tax sugar. It is “inevitable,” they say, that the next one is meat.
According to the FAIRR report, animal farming is being increasingly linked to “a range of environmental, health and social problems.” They report that eating meat is linked to
•greater greenhouse gas emissions than those from transportation
•threats to water availability
•threats to food security
•increasing rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer
•deforestation and soil degradation
•increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance
Taxes on meat are already being considered in countries like Denmark, Sweden and Germany.
This report joins a recent report that found that adopting a plant based diet is one of the moves you could make with tax on meat consumption.
