Denmark ethics council calls for tax on red meat to fight 'ethical problem' of climat

[727Sky]

Here is an interesting proposal for all the vegetarians and those who hate meat... Where all this will end no one knows but you got to give them credit.... if there is an untapped tax revenue; some government will figure out how to take it.

If the USA tried something like this I would bet Texas would say, "Up yours and the horse you road in on.. We are out of here "!

Denmark is considering proposals to introduce a tax on red meat, after a government think tank came to the conclusion that “climate change is an ethical problem”.

The Danish Council of Ethics recommended an initial tax on beef, with a view to extending the regulation to all red meats in future. It said that in the long term, the tax should apply to all foods at varying levels depending on climate impact.

The council voted in favour of the measures by an overwhelming majority, and the proposal will now be put forward for consideration by the government.
