"Beware the do-gooders," was one of the wisdoms given to me by my dad. He meant all those people....some of them well-intentioned, more of them NOT.... who think they know what's best for you and how you live your life than you do. Most frightful are those who insist that the power of government should be leveled and levied against you to make you comply.
So here it comes...a proposed meat tax that the "do-gooders/ power-grabbers" say will save lives. They say taxing red meat and processed meats could prevent over 200-thousand deaths and save $40 billion of medical costs. Oh, please.
Let's bring out the nutritionists to educate about essential nutrients in red meat.....and statisticians to give us disease and death counts from lack of meat, fresh or processed, through history. Or....just leave me alone to make my own choice.
