Meat tax to fund research for lab grown meat

Petition Details

For both environmental and ethical reasons, there is good reason to speed up the transition from eating animals to eating meat that has been grown in a laboratory. By adding a meat tax, and using the revenue generated to fund research on lab grown meat, we can do just that.

Additional Information
