Laws that specifically make beef much more expensive could be seen as a milder way of banning beef (extreme example: if it costs as much as you make in a month, it's basically banned), so I was curious where you draw the line of "their choices affecting my ability to make a choice".
I suppose it mostly depends on by how much. If it's an unreasonable amount, I'm sure that many will have something to say about it. Of course that raises the question of what would be considered to be a reasonable amount. 30 years ago, an increase of a few dollars for an average cut of beef would have people up in arms, but now, a $3 increase of the same would hardly be noticed.
