On the 28th of March 2025, the Dutch city of Nijmegen became the latest city in the Netherlands — and the 37th globally — to officially endorse the Plant Based Treaty, marking a significant step in…
Yikes, how is that supposed to be uplifting? Sounds a whole lot like authoritarian overreach. Let people decide for themselves what they do and don’t want to eat.
Ok but aren’t “Vegan meat” industries just another potentially shady Company?? Like how do we know they aren’t gonna fall into the same deceptive practices that the Meat Industry does? Just because an animal isn’t being harmed doesn’t mean there isn’t some corporate fuckery going on behind the scenes? (Ew now I sound like a communist or anti-capitalist.)
I’m realizing now this isn’t in America, so tbh good for them, I trust whatever they’re doing over there is honest. But if this was in America?? Nah… I dont trust the food industry here at all.
I expect you’d have a rather different stance if it was advertising for something you enjoy in life that was being singled out and banned.
It’d be very different if it was a blanket ban on all advertisement in these contexts, but it isn’t. It’s the government trying to decide what people eat.
I eat meat, so thats not true. I also smoke, so that’s not true. I use medicine, so that’s not true. I use drugs, so that’s not true. None of those i need to see advertisements for
Wtf. Regulations on advertising are not authoritarian, what the hell. Even if we’d put shock pictures of what happens in slaughterhouses (or even better, videos right next to the meat packages) like we do on cigarette boxes it still wouldn’t be authoritarian.
If governments would ban meat altogether despite a majority of people being against such a ban, that would be authoritarian. If a majority was for the ban it would be democratic.
Given the clear science on the effects of and mechanisms behind public advertising this is clearly uplifting news.
Yup, in most cases it is the owners of said animals that decide what happens to them, like with other property. The government trying to force (or prevent) putting an animal down would also be overreach.
The exceptions when it comes to property rights are generally when human beings are somehow endangered, which is where most rights and freedoms, sensibly, are limited.
Meat eater here. Animals aren’t a fucking object. Lemme just get that straight.
I eat meat, I love meat, I’d probably try deer hunting if I wasn’t such a pussy (meow :3). But I feel as though what separates me from most other people is that I DEEPLY cherish the things nature gives to me, from the flesh of prey animals down to the Poke plants that grow outta my backyard. I’m more than thankful for their sacrifice.
If I was a meat farmer. I would love every single fucking one of my cattle, I truly would. I would strive EVERY single day to give them the best possible life for them. Knowing they will one day be put to rest for their resources, it’s only morally right to ME that I make sure every waking day they spend on this earth is the best. I probably would produce much, but I’m fine with that. I’m just glad I was able to give them a good life.
The animals I feed upon are not just “prey” they are a gift from the earth itself. I dont believe it’s helpful for a human to deprive themselves of meat altogether, We were made to consume plants and animals, no different from other apex predators. But what matters most to me is people respecting the earth and the animals that feed and provide for us.
To act as though we are above them, that they are nothing to us, to kill them with no regard or remorse, and to waste their flesh is barbaric, it’s disrespectful.
idk, I think I read way too deeply into that Circle of Life speech from Lion King 🤪
Your whole comment comes from the selfish belief that animals should not have rights. Yet good people are fighting to make sure people like you don’t just see them as property.
If you continue down this path, I’ll laugh when people start considering you and your family as their property. Because somehow you believe you have authoritarian power over animals.

Yikes, imagine conflating corporate advertising with freedom… Is this why companies hold so much power over us?

Imagine watching ads to begin with 🥴

Do i need to go on?

No one is stopping them from buying meat though? There are still big sections full of it in stores that you see whenever you go grocery shopping.
Heck, I would ban the ads on all food products if it were me. Same with pharmaceuticals.
If you’ve gone that far already, why not ban all ads? It’s all brainwashing and mind control imo.
Should we start advertising cigarettes again so? Because that went really well! /s
This is the correct response.
I wouldn’t be opposed to blanket bans on advertisingin certain contexts. This however is the state going nanny on the populace.

Like deciding what animals live and die?
Stop projecting.
