At least in the U.S. taxation wouldn’t be needed for animal product prices to reflect their true costs.
Just remove the large government subsidies the animal product industry enjoys and let the free market raise the prices.
I doubt it would happen.
Those subsidies exist because the Nixon administration created them after Americans complained about high food prices. It would be political suicide to remove those subsidies, especially with inflation and price gouging disguised as inflation driving up food prices.
I don’t think produce would go down in price, just that their price would seems so much more appealing over non-subsidized meat.
Yah, it will never happen.
Kind of frustrating since you can see it fitting in with the “Tax me less, don’t use my tax money to subsidize someone else!” mentality.
