If a carbon tax raised prices for meat, how much of an increase would be costly enough (to you personally or to populations you care about, e.g. lower income families) that you would be uncomfortable supporting it?
I'm imagining a blanket tax, but I also don't know if these numbers are reasonable. I'm pulling them from memory from an article I read a while back anticipating something like +5-15% for chicken & +20-40% for beef

Getting people to move from pork or chicken meat to milk products would probably be a bad thing for the CO2 emissions. So I would be against any meat specific carbon tax that doesn't also tax milk products and eggs. Why not the whole food industry while we are at it?
