What the petition asks
Countless scientists have identified excessive beef consumption as both a major threat to our planet, and to our health. If we introduce a tax on beef products we could:
1) Decrease consumption
2) Raise money for schools and hospitals
3) Save the planet
1) Decrease consumption
2) Raise money for schools and hospitals
3) Save the planet
The specific amount for the tax should be debated in parliament, however a guideline would be 1p per gram of beef which would be charged to the retailer. This would be on top of the standard VAT rate.
