I think red meat in regards of cuts of meat is ok and good for you in moderation, not every day that is,
however the processed meat I am not sure, the likes of burgers just contain all the shite and additives mixed up, they even have to add colouring to make it look like beef should have a tax on it, god knows what goes in to the mix to get the end result, as is seems the declaration on the packet is nothing to go by, take the horse meat for instance,
and think the labeling needs a full and concise overhaul, years ago while at the local coop getting some ham (what I thought was good quality ham off the bone) after getting mine there was nothing left on the bone, I asked if they were throwing it out, could I have the bone for the dog, the reply was "its a plastic bone that gets sent back", so how can people make a choice of what they eat if its miss sold, this needs to stop, and proper labeling needs to be put in place,
so maybe leave all proper cuts of meat tax free, and maybe processed meats with a tax in place on it,

Only the dimmest of over privileged, middle class liberals would consider taxing one of the most nutrient rich food sources on the planet whilst almost every town in the United Kingdom has a food bank.

Where does it end? Tax is charged on enough as it is, IMO.

The 5th quarter is where the profit is. Be careful what you wish for.

Maybe then there should be a tax on any product which includes palm oil and a tax on any cereal produced from ploughed land.....you can go on forever.

A tax on cocaine would bring in more revenue.
