Beef is , chicken not as much . It changes from place to place also probably. I mean , India is a pretty much vegetarian sub-continent do i guess i can try to produce some of their recipeed on my journey into a vegetarian.

Where does it not increase the price of plant based food? If we shift into plant based food without guaranteeing the increase of production , it will increase the plant based food price for sure. I'm not saying it is what i want to happen i'm saying it is what is likely to happen .

It wasn't all that simple in sri lanka. The guy went balistic and did it overnight.

I agree that this decisions may come from the fact that we all know that people have to be "forced" to change eatong habits. But the healthier options aren't really all that affordable yet. So maybe the order of things should be reverted. Put organic /bio/plant-based options in a affordable price cap , then increase the vost for everything else.

The banning was for pesticides. Sorry , bad phrasing.

Undeniable yep , but still the taxing won't really produce this kind of outcome i'm afraid.

Nothing wrong with plant based food but it won't naturally equate clean production. You still have GMOs and pesticides that you should ban or control properly

This happenned in the Netherlands first and it's gonna happen everywhere. People really do not associate farms and food as easily as you would expect. They think food os still gonna produce itself by magic. Plus , the alternative is going to be importing food from somewhere else and pretend we are green has we are doong with pretty much everything else already

But agriculture is also the most productive per emission so between cattle and jets flying to Davos the choice should not be cattle.

Yeah i do , and those alternatives are the biggest part of the waste you mentioned. Now , will corporations say "hey now that people are buying more of this , i'm not wasting so i can actually be cheaper than before" or " due to the higher demand i have to jack up prices" ?
