Ok, I guess I'll be the first to bring up red meat production.

Our love affair with eating meat (specifically red meat) has 3 pretty bad side effects:

* greenhouse effect (something like 18% of the total greenhouse effect is from farm animal produced methane).

* uses a ton of fresh water (hundreds of times more water used to product beef than vegetables).

* uses up valuable farm land to grow animal feed crops (something like 33% of all arable land on Earth).

So, lets pass some fucking taxes on red meat, eh?
