Dutch City Haarlem Becomes First In World To Ban Meat Adverts
 
Haarlem – a city 30km outside Amsterdam and home to more than 160,000 people – has taken the move in an effort to curb meat consumption and reduce the meat industry’s environmental impact.

The new rule, which comes into effect in 2024, will ban adverts for meat products in public spaces such as on billboards, buses, and at bus shelters. [bold, links added]

It has been met with backlash from the meat industry and some local councilors, who have branded it “patronizing” and “going too far”.

Other parts of the Netherlands such as Amsterdam and The Hague have already agreed on bans on “fossil fuel” commercials – such as adverts for holiday flights and petrol or diesel cars.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
