I wanted to say that food would never be taxed -- but it is not true.

Food is taxed in much of Europe -- there is a 5% VAT in France, Multiple tiered VAT on food in the Netherlands as example.

Harmful food like soda with sugar is subject to an excise tax world wide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drinks_tax

So, you may be eating a lot less meat in the future or paying a lot more for it.
