Controlling peoples behavior through taxation is not something I think the Government should be involved in.

Not controlling, adding its contribution to the smorgasbord, so to speak, of incentives that are inevitably already there.

I choosed not to address the false equivalence and your comment on taxation given that I already sayed that the method of reducing processed meat intake doesn't have to be taxation.

You need to cross the street but you don't need to eat processed meats. Not to say that there is some form of education made in regard to crossing streets, can't say that about processed meat (i.e salami).
Cigarettes are labeled, I don't think you have a problem with that? And yes I know, cigars are way more dangerous.

It is already doing it with cigars.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I work in a meat processing plant. Pigs go in, lots of stuff comes out. Carcinogenics aren't allowed and condiments used in chourizos, hams, bacon are strictly regulated. Even smoked hams use "liquid smoke" in smoke generators that are free of carcinogenics according to EU regulations and ISO 22000 regs.
Most recent change is the amount of salt used to season those products. Other than those products, there is just fresh meat, that is simple pieces of pork sold to meat commerce. Heh, even slaughtered pigs are analised for steroids or other growing hormones. How much those vets earn to do that? 800 euro per hour.
I chose the wrong career.

I do.
Venison.
This year could be very busy. The herd is thick and I have 2 buck and three doe tags. Additionally my SO and my sister are both hunting for the first time and both have a buck and doe tag.
I can fit MAYBE 4 deer in the freezers. The rest will get roasted and canned or pickled (whiskey) and smoked...
It's gonna get busy.
