    Amsterdam’s Ban on Meat and Fossil Fuel Advertising Comes Into Effect

    Over 50 cities, mostly European, have either restricted or tabled motions to introduce formal limitations on the advertisement of polluting products and services. Some – including several Dutch municipalities, Stockholm, Edinburgh and Sydney – have banned them altogether.


    I am 100% on board with banning the FF Ads, but MEAT?  We're not talking just cows here, meat includes chicken, pigs, bear, moose, rabbits, squirrels...  Besides going all Veggie, all that leaves us is Fish & Insects.  Over-fishing has ALREADY decimated the global fish population, howz it supposed to provide a substitute for meat when all the carnivores switch over?  And Insects?  Even if you can get people to eat them, the insect population ALSO has been decimated by environmental pollutants and insecticides.

    All I can say is hopefully by the time all the Bone In Prime Ribeye steaks have disappeared from the Meat fridges at 3 Bears or become too expensive to buy at least say 1/month (not yet but getting there), I will be planted 6 feet under with the worms feasting on my meat package, while my eternal soul is set free to roam time & space in search of a better place to spend my next incarnation of corporeal existence.  I can only feel great sadness when I think of all the kids doomed to finish out their current trip without Rack of Lamb, Honey Baked Ham and real Jewish Deli Pastrami on Rye.  It's almost too painful to contemplate.
