Default Is it time to tax Beef?

It is a known fact that beef consumption is very bad and causes more harm then cars so is it time to add a tax to beef with the extra money going on ways to save the environment?

I always lean on the side of using financial incentives instead of punishment taxes.

To be fair, if someone wants to pay me to not eat beef I'd go with it.

Im not giving up dairy though so I suppose that limits how effe tive it would be.

Put a tax on fresh meat so the poorer families have to depend on frozen, processed rubbish, produced by environment ruining factories, even more than they have to now, not a great system

Why can't we tax the cow before it gets to the consumer?

Well it'll be an environmental tax for pollution as they have with diesel cars, I don't see why it's so unacceptable.

Except it's not the same people. The ones passionate about the environment are the ones campaigning about giving up meat etc.

Low income families already depend too much on fast food and ready meals. As it stands, if families know how to cook they can buy cheap meat and veg, and feed their families healthily and affordably.

How would it be beneficial for anyone, let alone them, if there was a price hike on a commonly bought food?

It'd be about as good an idea as the Sugar Tax that nobody asked for.
