'Meat taxes' would save many lives and cut health care costs, study says

Source: Healthcare Press (healthcarepress.net)

Good cuts of meat are ALREADY too expensive. Smh No Way!! 😡

Because the punitive taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and other similarly restricted items had proven so effective

Can’t get much faker than this

But high fructose corn syrup is okay

pretty soon we will have no 'right' food to eat as consumers.

Let’s have a global stupidity tax. That should put CNN out of business once and for all!

oh. that’s an interesting idea.

lets call this a fat tax hahahah lets tax xxxl clothing too...more fabric.

This is meat now

It's not eating meat that's affecting health it's eating too much..and eating poisoned processed food and having unhealthy lifestyles..

Imagine a black market for bacon like the black market for cigs.

It's always according to a 'new study' when fakenews think tanks try to pitch another tax cash grab scam! smh

How about a global SUGAR TAX

Do you really want to live a life without bacon?

Lol who in the world conducted this research let me guess a damn vegan meat is good price is good meat is good no need to save just spend the 41 billion on a island and ship your plants there and Il stay here with the live stock unlimited meat

Every time you say something not nice about my bacon 🥓 I cry. 😢

220,000 *human* lives you mean?

Pass

My husband( son of a Rancher) says, “This is a lie!”🤨

It's not the job of government to protect me from myself.

Save lives So vegans live forever...god forbid. As a meat eater I suspect I won’t live longer it will just feel like it.

A tax on food is a tax burden for poor and middle class.

It might also encourage a little less meat consumption which would translate into a benefit for the environment.

Of course you don't mention animal cruelty. An inconvenient truth for so called environmental leftist news agencies and supporters..

Why would it drive up the price of my barbecue? I rather think that the price will drop because they become useless, or we are going to put vegetables on it. :)))

Call me names. Be a racist. Decrease taxes for the rich. Build a wall. Deport the illegals. But eff with my meat and we have a problem. A BIG fvcking problem. Is peta behind this bs?

Just read the article, over 130% tax on processed meats and 35% on processed meats, how can anyone even propose that? The writer is prolly vegan

just ban smoking instead.

Fake study. Fake news. Not paying.

Huh?

How about the government lets me decide what I want to eat, whether it's healthy or not... I don't need them issuing a tax as a way to essentially make me eat healthier. For the record, I already have a healthy diet, but stuff like this is just flat out silly.

While killing 220,000 from eating meat.

BlueBoy8000 COULD- lol. Making meat more expensive is just idiotic because a lot of poor people still need it to survive. Some people can’t eat beans and find animal based protein. This isn’t a good idea

global tax to whom? They won't see the NGOs become governments until it is too late. Heck of a plan.

Hahaha.... yeah just like the “smoking tax” saved lives , lol

At least 222 people were killed as waves smashed into houses, hotels and other beachside buildings Saturday night along Indonesia's Sunda Strait, in a disaster that followed an eruption and possible landslide on Anak Krakatau, one of the world's most infamous volcanic islands. More than 800 others were injured and dozens were reported missing after the tsunami hit coastal areas along western Java and southern Sumatra islands at 9:27 p.m. Saturday amid a Christmas holiday weekend, the Disaster Management Agency said.
