If governments were really concerned about people's health they would ban advertising of meat and diary products.
Tobacco has been taken out of public advertising because it has been proven to cause severe health issues Meat and dairy products are also harmful.
Numerous medical reports, health professionals the United Nations and World Health Organisation have all stated eating meat and dairy products causes many health problems, harms the environment and contributes to world hunger.
It also involves the worst animal cruelty in the history of mankind especially in Factory Farming.
Promotion of meat and dairy products claims eating meat and dairy is healthy. It also promotes the idea that slaughtering animals for food is acceptable. The vile truth is never revealed.
Meanwhile the world has a major obesity problem in adults and children and rises in cancer, heart attacks, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes - much of which is related to meat and diary products.
Ironically governments already promote a healthier lifestyle with more exercise. Governments also warn people about handling meat, especially chicken, because of dangerous infections. Why not go all the way and warn people not to eat meat and diary?
From a political viewpoint the livestock industry and the food industry represent lots of jobs and a massive pressure lobby. It will take brave and honest politicians to challenge them and put people's health before money.
But better health would also save the government lots of money - maybe as much.

Really terrible cruelty goes on in slaughter houses and meat factories.
It's up to people themselves to realise the truth and get something done.
