‘Animal Protein Overconsumption’: UN Climate Confab Attendees Urge Countries To Implement Tax On Meat

The True Animal Protein Price (TAPP) Coalition gave comments at the 2024 U.N. Climate Change (COP29) Conference Monday urging countries to begin taxing meat.

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) issued a report Friday weighing the pros and cons of a tax on certain foods, including meat. TAPP Coalition raised the topic at COP29 this week, suggesting that countries should tax meat and subsidize vegetables while describing the U.S. and some Western nations as a “laggard” relative to other U.N. countries when it comes to its food pricing policies.

“We believe that COP29 and UNFCCC [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change] conferences thereafter can only be successful if the closing statement includes transitioning away from animal protein overconsumption according to national or global dietary guidelines by implementing greenhouse gas emission pricing mechanisms in agri-food systems,” Willem Branten, public affairs and policy officer at TAPP, said at the conference this week. “We urge the EU Commission, the OECD and China to lead the way towards these harmonized pricing mechanisms.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

There must have been a tax on intelligence for babies where these people were born and their parents refused to pay it. :tongue2:

The holy robed ones of Marxist demagogues can take their collectivist fatwas and stuff it.

Build the worship center of your choice, preach your factless sermons there.

Can we please get rid of the U.N., please oh please?

WATCH: After Demanding Meat Tax, Activists at UN COP29 Climate Conference Won't Go Near Vegan Buffet
By Rusty Weiss | 1:30 PM on November 14, 2024
 
Don't ever change, climate alarmists. You hypocrites driving around in SUVs while telling others to drive a 0.4-horsepower Prius.

With your celebrity spokespeople scolding we plebians as you jet-set across the globe in CO2-emitting private planes, and your never-ending effort to look down your noses at others who just don't give a bloody rip about carbon taxes.

Don't ever change.

Climate nerds at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change (COP29) Conference being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, spent the early part of their panel discussions talking about how they could tax meat in an effort to force people away from the apparently ozone-depleting food group.

Willem Branten, public affairs and policy officer at the True Animal Protein Price (TAPP) Coalition (yes, that is a thing), demanded the EU Commission, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and China lead the way in implementing what amounts to a "sin tax" on meat.
