Are you saying cows farmed for meat do not produce the same emissions?

To farm meat. Meat is extremely overproduced in the world economy and it's been having disaterous consequences.

Livestock agriculture is the single largest contributor to methane in the atmosphere. It also uses up an obscene amount of land that could be better utilized (or not utilized). People also eat way too much meat. Taxing this is a no brainer.

I understand what you're saying now. Meat is usually the main reason for these bills so I just assumed, apologies.
