Why do you think the tax system should be used for this? The tax system should have a single purpose - Raise funds for government expenses. This is why the tax system is the mess it currently is. Everyone thinks the solution to their personal "social change" is to "tax whatever they disagree with". You dont like carbonated drinks, advocate for a "soft drink tax". You dont like people eating meats, advocate for a "meat tax". Should we increase the fuel taxes to account for all the diesel used to produce a vegan diet? Besides the farming, there is the water and transportation to account for. Some produce (nuts, avocados) are very damaging on the environment, should we tax them? Or, is this a "bad tax" because it impacts you?
