I’d be more impressed if they actually banned citizens from eating meat in the city, using fossil fueled vehicles, and closing Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Major city bans ads for meat, fossil fuels in sweeping crackdown critics call overreach
Amsterdam has reportedly become the first capital city in the world to ban public ads for meat and fossil fuels — wiping burgers, gas-powered cars, and airline promotions from billboards, tram stops and metro stations.
Since May 1, the Dutch capital and tourist hotspot’s advertising landscape has undergone a dramatic shift. Ads once showcasing chicken nuggets, SUVs, and budget flights have been replaced with promotions for museums and concerts, according to BBC News.
Local politicians say the sweeping move is part of an aggressive climate agenda, with goals to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and cut meat consumption in half, the outlet reported.
“The climate crisis is very urgent,” Anneke Veenhoff from the GreenLeft Party said. “I mean, if you want to be leading in climate policies and you rent out your walls to exactly the opposite, then what are you doing?”
If it’s so urgent then why do they have fossil fueled buses and boats? Cars? In fairness, a lot of people ride bikes in Amsterdam, it’s just kind of the thing over there, and it has over 250 miles of bike lanes. Ban everything that uses fossil fuels in the city. Ban meat in the city. If they really care
Supporters, however, are framing the policy as a broader cultural shift — even comparing meat ads to cigarette campaigns of decades past.
“Because if I look now back at like old pictures, you have Johan Cruyff,” Hannah Prins, a paralegal at Advocates for the Future, told the outlet. “The famous Dutch footballer. … He would be in advertisements for tobacco. That used to be normal. He died of lung cancer.”
Prins added, “I don’t think it’s normal to see murdered animals on billboards. So I think it’s very good that that’s going to change.”
It’s an authoritarian cult.

Matthew 7:3-5
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Rimjob quoting scripture.
It doesn’t get any more hypocritical than that.

I’ve been there. The Netherlands is very flat, which is good for bikers. If they were serious, they’d stop making concrete and paving roads with asphalt instead.
Besides, think of the money that’s going to be saved by the meat producers. Everyone will still want it, but they won’t have to for advertising.
I know I need to see an add for meat before I’ll buy any….….what morons
