  Ban all advertising instead. Any law for this specifically wouldn’t be as enforceable ad people imagine because there would suddenly be more incentive to hide factory farming practices including from the company itself.

    There is some amount of traction for similar ideas. From the article:

    Earlier this year, Amsterdam became the first capital city in the world to introduce a ban on advertisements for fossil fuels and meat
