00:00Every meat-eater is actually being subsidized, greatly subsidized by every non-meat-eater.
00:06This is injustice.
00:07This is direct stealing of money, pinching of money from the pocket of the vegetarian
00:14or the vegan to subsidize the meat-eater.
00:17When you eat meat, when you eat chicken, you are actually not paying for the environmental
00:24damage that your plate of meat has caused.
00:27You are not paying for the climate change, you are not paying for the biodiversity depletion,
00:33you are not paying for the loss of tropical jungles, green cover, nothing.
00:38Who is bearing that cost?
00:39Whole population.
00:40Whole population, meaning just to help you have your chicken, everybody else is paying
00:46the price.
00:47And it is gross injustice that the thing is being offered to you as a subsidy.
00:52So there has to be taxation.
00:54There has to be clear, commensurate, just taxation.
