Thanks for the link. It infuriates me that beef consumption is subsidized by all tax payers. Big money. The externalities of beef production are devastating (water use, extra pollution, incentive to destroy Amazon Basin, etc.).

If consumers had to pay an unsubsidized price for beef and other products that gut-punch the environment, that would be a step towards making things better.

I don't want to take away anyone's right to eat beef, I just want them to pay for the externalities.

I think this would drive a lot of interest to faux meats and other alternatives like tempeh, seitan, etc. Here's hoping!
