Who can afford to eat meat anyway?

The levy, which would increase the price of a steak by about 25%, would be phased in over the next decade. The report focuses on EU countries and was produced for the Tapp Coalition of health, environment and animal welfare organisations. It says “fair pricing” for meat should be included in the forthcoming European “green new deal” and so-called farm to fork strategy.



The report, produced by environmental research group CE Delft, analysed the costs of greenhouse gas emissions, other air and water pollution, and losses of wildlife associated with livestock production. It estimated that covering these costs would increase the price of beef by €0.47 (40p) per 100g. This would increase the cost of a 227g supermarket steak in the UK by about 25%.

Not only are you killing yourselves eating meat, killing animals, you are also killing the planet.

You need to know what the baseline risk is before you start worrying about the impact of any increase in that risk.

It'll probably turn out that the increased risk is not worth the disappointment that comes with a life without bacon.

Compared to most of these types of articles, where the baseline risk is indeed tiny, the risk of dementia is rather large (1 in 6 by the age of 80). Still probably not worth giving up bacon for, though.

You are going to have to eat vegan bacon and veggie sausages.

Little willies..."taste just like the real thing"...

You are going to have to eat vegan's bacon and veggie's sausages.

FTFY.

I consider it my duty to eat the pigs that veggie/vegans leave behind.
