UK discussing MEAT TAX! Then the Turd and JOE who.
"Meat tax on the table in bid to cut carbon emissions
British shoppers should be hit with higher prices on meat to help the environment, according to suggestions for a tax on "high-carbon foods" drawn up for the Government.

Use this interactive tool to see how much natural resource is needed for your meat habit. It comes as takeaway coffee cups and disposable wooden cutlery could be the next products that come with an extra charge paid by customers under a little-noticed government legal change. Meanwhile, as two new multibillion-pound projects are given the green light as part of Britain's largest carbon capture research programme, Joe Shute examines whether could Britain soon be a world leader in cutting emissions."
