So it seems UK gov doesn't trust Joe and Janice Public to make informed decisions themselves so they are introducing another tax on something that any adult should know, is not good for you - excessive quantities of red meat. Yes, they've done fags, alcohol, plastic bags and more recently sugar.
So come on, what do you reckon is next? A self pleasure tax? A skulking around bushes & sinking your balls in a hole (golf) tax?
