Consumers: only buy the cheapest regardless of how it's produced, ensuring a race to the bottom
Producers: lower standards to increase production so they can sell meat for the lowest cost

Yup. The meat industry, like all food gets completely away from climate pollution tax. The government's climate solution is forcing you to sell your gas car and buy a freakin' Tesla.
