Yep, tax animal agriculture out of existence. As much as I like the idea, there is a risk we'd end up with more animal suffering, at least in the short- and medium-term.
A meat tax has little consumer support, so most likely a tax would foremost or only be applied to the flesh of those animals that contribute most to global warming, ruminants. And consumers might just switch to eating more chickens, pigs and fishes.
It's explained here in more detail:

"There is a very real possibility in the near future that a member country (probably Sweden, Denmark, or the Netherlands) will impose a tax or an outright ban on meat production."
Do you support a #MeatTax?

This week there was the 'news' that former agricultural and fishery minister Carola Schouten, currently minister of poverty, pleads for a #meattax. At the same time, she's related to a company called Schouten, producer of #fakemeat. You see her opening their factory (photo).
So my suggestion is that this would have to be an #Aprilfool's joke. It has to be. I mean: Come on. 🥩 #meat
