If you're going to eat meat, your only choice is processed meat. Unprocessed meat means something like a live cow (an animal known to put up strenuous and vigorous objections to being eaten).
Consumption of carcinogenic chemicals doesn't mean that you WILL get cancer, it means that your chances of getting cancer are increased. Other things that have the potential to be deadly and that should be taxed:
-Going outdoors.
-Not going outdoors.
-Walking instead of cycling.
-Cycling instead of walking.
-Eating food.
-Failing to eat food.
-Driving your car.
-Driving someone else's car.
-Not driving a car.
Also, can you explain how taxing things is going to reduce their inherent risk? If you prohibitively tax sugar and processed meats, you're cutting off sources of calories and nutrients to people who can't afford the tax. In other words, you're replacing a minimal risk of diabetes or cancer with a much greater risk of malnutrition.
