80% of "sometimes" or "not every day" is still "sometimes" and "not every day".

People have no clue about how frequently they eat meat. Since vegan and vegetarian diet are gaining traction, everyone is pretending they're being careful and eating less meat than before, yet the global meat consumption is still increasing.

Global population and wealth are increasing. Meat is expensive. And price - we subsidise farming - is a direct way of influencing how often people eat something.

Multiplying taxes by 50 would indeed be a very convincing way of making people eat less meat.
