The city that鈥檚 banned meat adverts

We're in Amsterdam, where commercials for flights, petrol and diesel cars, and meat are no longer visible.

Amsterdam has become the world's first capital city to ban commercials for low-cost flights, petrol and diesel cars, and burgers from its billboards, bus and metro shelters. The travel and meat industries say it's over-reach, and violates their rights. We explore whether stripping adverts from public spaces can really change what we eat and how we travel.
