    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.
