Restaurateur Henry Dimbleby, chosen to lead Downing Street's 'National Food Strategy' formulation body, believes that a levy on processed meat staples like burgers, steaks, ham, sausages, and chicken nuggets could be needed in order to tackle climate change, according to media reports.
However, Dimblebly is expected to tell the prime minister not to introduce any such tax in the short-term because of the potential unrest it could lead to during the pandemic, according to The Sun.
Citing unnamed sources familiar with a draft document due to be released next month, the paper noted that ministers fear street protests over food prices similar to those conducted by the 'Gilets Jaunes' (Yellow Vest) movement in France in recent years.
The sources also reportedly said the document was "still a work in progress," but did not dispute that it would recommend making some meats pricier.
Comment: Down to the last burger: No sane person is going to eat fake meat for a fake policy based on faulty science and rich people's financial motives - except authoritarian followers willing to suffer causal hunger and increasingly compromised health so the already rich and powerful can make their financial killing before committing massive depopulation - otherwise known as 'climate change'.
