Dutch city mulls banning meat ads

[x65943]

In an effort to curb climate change, a green party in the Dutch city of Haarlem is set to ban meat ads beginning in 2024. Several Dutch cities have already set bans for the fossil fuel industry and aviation industry to combat climate change.

Opposition from the meat industry claims such moves are antithetical to free speech. Some 95% of Dutch people eat meat and about 50% eat meat every day.

The US has pretty significant free speech safeguards, and beyond that this would not be covered under the federal mandate in the constitution so would if anything be a state by state issue

Free speech issue aside, not sure if this will help much. They would be better off banning traditional meat, when lab meat becomes mainstream enough.

well your buddy doesn't seem to think amendments are absolute, so i wouldn't hold your breath on that, he's also not big on rules as he violated the 10th amendment/Nuremburg code with mask/vaccine mandates. Similarly, most of the country are controlled by communists, so its not that big of a deal.

Wish I could manage something more than "fucking hippies" but I think I will go with that. Would be interesting to press them on the environmental impact of meat as most stats I see such people throw around are dubious in the extreme.

That said other than boards outside of supermarkets I don't think I have seen meat adverts*, and my few trips to Haarlem over the years (granted it has been more than 10 years at this point) saw pretty minimal advertising anyway.

*granted the next step is to appease the filthy vegan set and cheese and milk are rather different stories.

 

[City]

When I say vegan, most people think obnoxious asshole, despite most of them never meeting any.

Why do you think it's that?


I don't like the ban but yeah, play fire with fire.

Climate change is a euphemism for societal collapse.

Here's another example where they were blaming climate change for fish destroying algae bloom which turned out to be from dumping raw sewage (human shit) directly into the bay:

On a per calorie basis, not even close

Please define communists. Because I have a feeling you don't know what that positions means or entails.
or better yet, how about we all settle this in a proper debate via voice chat. I'm sure the mods would be substantially happier not having close heavily derailed threads.
@LainaGabranth I'm pretty sure would also love to enjoy to actually have a proper debate, since we just end up going in circles on these forms for ages and a half.

"mull": to heat with sugar and spices: see "mulled wine, mulled cider"
"mull over": to think about, consider.

First of all - with a claim like that you'd better provide your sources.

Second, if someone says they're trying to find a cure for cancer, do you also ask "and when are you going to find the cure for heart decease? More people die from that than cancer!"?

And third, are you implying that they're banning meat? Because I'm pretty sure the article was about banning the advertisment for meat.

Frankly meat doesn't need advertising, so this seems like a pointless gesture. We just need to make growing it in a lab more efficient/cost effective, and scale it up. I still can't believe the world allowed large swaths of the Amazon to be burned down for farming cattle.

Hooo boy, does it ever.
Not eating meat in general, that will never stop, but the current level of consumption relies on constant heavy marketing by the meat industry. If meat advertising stopped, consumption would drop considerably.
