Make meat-eaters pay: Ethicist proposes radical tax, says they’re killing themselves and the planet

Singer’s solution: “A 50% tax on the retail value of all meat.”

If these ‘grazers’ are so worried about the planet why do they eat veggies?  Surely eating veggies reduces the amount of oxygen on the planet.  I suggest the ‘grazers’ do the right thing and just ‘off themselves’.  That would be a win-win situation.  The rest of us would be happy without the ‘grazers’ around and it would reduce world population by several millions.

Actually, the biggest source of agricultural methane is rice paddies, not livestock.
