Root of evil? No you're jumping into a discussion about unhealthy foods and obesity.
The thread is about the environmental impact of meat production, which is pretty high.
Seems harder to mandate physical activity over a population so I'd rather just charge a little extra for unhealthy food. This would help with preventing obesity to some degree and making people more financially responsible for their health.
Can we define "unhealthy food" please. Who will be in charge of such definition? The First Lady? Peta? The Surgeon General? Dr. Oz?
Murder is immoral also......maybe a little prison for you is the answer.
Sounds like you've conceded and are waving the white flag.

Red meat is actually linked to several gastro-type of cancers when you eat a lot of it for awhile. But you probably don't believe in that type of stuff...

High trans fat, high sodium, and high sugar products....? The stuff folks have been telling folks to eat in moderation but we are still the fattest country.

Linda McCartney didn't eat meat but still got cancer. Anything to excess is bad and your solution to that is to tax the poor whether they eat poorly or not.
Guilty whether you are or not. You don't really care about the people but in controlling them to live like you would prefer.

You've already used that lame excuse. You have hard time with the concept of risk management.
Well the poor would have to decide whether to spend more on unhealthy food. It's not like there aren't any other alternatives to eating unhealthy....

Obesity is a healthcare crisis which is not debatable. Obesity costs over $100 billion for a preventable issue.
We've tried to it your way and it hasn't worked out, obesity is too costly.
