At this time of year, the last thing anyone wants to think about is paying more taxes. But there's one tax I'm in favor of - and you should be, too, if you care about your health and the health of the planet: a sin tax on meat, cheese and other animal-based foods.

[ If they put a “sin tax” on meat, I’m going to start eating vegans. Fair warning. ]
Just don’t eat the brain, with their lack of protein in their diets the proteins are all folded wrong and you WILL get Kuru!

Not that there is much brain to eat anyways...
“We pay a tax on gasoline in order to motivate us to conserve fossil fuels,”
Well, no. It is taxed to provide funds to maintain roadway and infrastructure.
So a meat tax would be to preserve grazing land, expand grazing land, and to provide more water for grazing land.
That’s a great idea: forget about tax on my beloved meat and tax movie goers on R-rated movies.
These people are sick. Either that, or longing for that socialist famine...
My Bio professor was attempting to sell that eating meat= global warming/carbon footprint spiel in class today. It just makes me want to eat a nice steak, really.
Lets all be sure to thank our anti smoking nazis who play a major role in encouraging this kind of crap.
You forgot Brewers Yeast. My mother, a health-nut extraordinaire and basic lunatic, made me eat that stuff as a kid. Fie on black strap molasses, wheat germ and brewers yeast.
Bet they’re scrawny and sour.
The only outcomes of taxing meat is the meat industry would die and all the farmers who can no longer survive as farmers would either be bought out by Conagra, Archer Daniels or some other oligoply or have their land taken from them for lack of payment.
Meanwhile, the only meat available would be in little crackers. That would be our protein. I am thinking some would be brown, some red and some green.
Brewers yeast only belongs in beer. Molasses OTOH is the basis of a great BBQ sauce, along with the smoky fat dripped from the meat.
It’s Wagyu, too.
Liberalism is the denial of human nature. Humans are carnivores.
Smoked ribs tonight. Slow cooked on my Weber Rocky Mountain smoker. Smothered in Stubbs BBQ sauce.
Can you smell them?
Can’t wait...
Tax Arugula, not bacon.
Fie on black strap molasses
Let’s not be too hasty there.
Rum is a fine by-product of molasses.
I think we should tax leftists at 100% of everything they own. And then eat them.
I hear long pig aint so bad.
One and only one of the crimes on your list involves no unwilling parties.
Yeah, I might need to fatten em up first, but still, it’s a matter of principle for me. They want to choose to become prey animals? Well, maybe we should treat them as such.
Considering the feed most cows in the US are fed even the cows aren’t vegans.
How about a tax on every word proposing more control over people’s lives.
Ms. Ditz here, you owe 400 quadrillion dollars for wasting your time writhing this useless drivel.
