"The Government stressed a meat or dairy tax was not part of its Net Zero strategy [..] Most livestock farmers are break-even at best. You start putting taxes on them & they're out of business. It will not only hit farming, it will devastate communities" metro.co.uk/2021/10/21/pap…

Recommendations on red & processed #meat: "When only low certainty evidence is available [.] guideline panels should refrain from making strong recommendations & [encourage] individual decision making based on absolute estimates of effect"
