This is another of those "things that I would like but are pretty unrealistic." If the goal is to cut down on beef, the price would either go up drastically or we'd put farmers into something less lucrative and just import our beef.

Regardless, the public, of whom many if not most eat beef, would be furious. I struggle to see a government that could pass this and last an election without having this overturned by the next government rather quickly.

That being said, it'd be nice. But nice in the same way that everyone being vegetarian and not wearing sweatshop clothes would be nice.
