Organic and regular beef are just as environmentally damaging, they concluded — while organic chicken actually results in slightly more greenhouse emissions overall.
Based on their findings, the team propose that policy measures — ‘meat taxes’ — are needed to ‘close the gap between current market prices and the true costs of food.’
Such taxation, the team said, would call for a 40 per cent increase in regular beef’s cost, but only a 25 per cent rise for organic beef, which is already more expensive.
So we increase food insecurity for lower-income folks while funneling more money into the hands of politicians and bureaucrats.
Ugh. Liberals are just crazy.
Soylent Green, anyone?
Soylent green…isn’t that the primary ingredient in the impossible burger?
Pretty much.
