    Consumers: only buy the cheapest regardless of how it’s produced, ensuring a race to the bottom

      I highly doubt that chain of causation to be true. Had people paid more, the producers would still lower their cost base as much as possible, in order to maximize profits.

        Yup. The meat industry, like all food gets completely away from climate pollution tax. The government’s climate solution is forcing you to sell your gas car and buy a freakin’ Tesla.
