They could...but it would be a fight. Just do stuff upstream, such as forcing carbon credit on beef producers and then slowly squeeze them, maybe forcing up the price 10% a year. Pretty much what California has done with gasoline - they caused the price to go through the roof, but no one even knows why and they barely complain, since it was done so slowly.
