Major city bans ads for meat, fossil fuels in sweeping crackdown critics call overreach

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Amsterdam has reportedly become the first capital city in the world to ban public ads for meat and fossil fuels — wiping burgers, gas-powered cars, and airline promotions from billboards, tram stops and metro stations.
Since May 1, the Dutch capital and tourist hotspot’s advertising landscape has undergone a dramatic shift. Ads once showcasing chicken nuggets, SUVs, and budget flights have been replaced with promotions for museums and concerts, according to BBC News.
Local politicians say the sweeping move is part of an aggressive climate agenda, with goals to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and cut meat consumption in half, the outlet reported.

«The climate crisis is very urgent,» Anneke Veenhoff from the GreenLeft Party said. «I mean, if you want to be leading in climate policies and you rent out your walls to exactly the opposite, then what are you doing?»
But critics argue the policy crosses a line — calling it an overreach that attempts to engineer personal choices, according to BBC News.
The Dutch Meat Association blasted the ban as «an undesirable way to influence consumer behavior,» warning that meat provides essential nutrients and should remain visible and accessible, the outlet reported.
Meanwhile, travel industry leaders say the restrictions unfairly target businesses.

The Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators called the ban on airline advertising a disproportionate blow to commercial freedom, according to BBC News.
Supporters, however, are framing the policy as a broader cultural shift — even comparing meat ads to cigarette campaigns of decades past.
«Because if I look now back at like old pictures, you have Johan Cruyff,» Hannah Prins, a paralegal at Advocates for the Future, told the outlet. «The famous Dutch footballer. … He would be in advertisements for tobacco. That used to be normal. He died of lung cancer.»
Prins added, «I don’t think it’s normal to see murdered animals on billboards. So I think it’s very good that that’s going to change.»

Other Dutch cities — including Haarlem, Utrecht and Nijmegen — have rolled out similar restrictions, while cities across Europe continue pushing to curb fossil fuel advertising, BBC News reported.
Meanwhile, in the United States, federal officials have taken a markedly different approach to food policy.
The Department of Health and Human Services earlier this year unveiled updated dietary guidance featuring an inverted food pyramid. The top of the pyramid, now the wider part of the structure, is built on meat, fats, fruits and vegetables, while whole grains are at the narrow bottom.

Florida GOP candidate reveals why ‘amazing’ fundraising haul and key Trump moves suggest midterm ‘optimism’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida, is touting a significant campaign fundraising haul while outlining to Fox News Digital the reasons why he believes there is reason for optimism for the GOP in November.
Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers in the 2026 cycle showed him significantly outraising incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, along with slightly more cash on hand, despite being a first-time candidate.
As a result of Florida’s new redistricting push, Singer recently announced he will be running in the redrawn 25th congressional district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital he is «very pleased» with the financial support he’s gotten from almost 3,600 contributors
«We’re very pleased that we had an amazing fundraising quarter, one of the best of any Republican challenger in the nation,» Singer said. «I think it’s going well because people are really enthused about our candidacy. I think people are ready for change. They’re upset with the progress of Congress.»
GOP LAWMAKER RALLIES AROUND TRUMP’S TAX-CUT CAMPAIGN AS COMPETITIVE 2026 HOUSE RACE LOOMS: ‘BIG ISSUE’

With most pundits predicting a tough time for Republicans in the upcoming midterms as they attempt to hold a razor-thin majority in the House and tight majority in the Senate along with historical headwinds, Singer says he sees «great reason for optimism» as he campaigns in his race.
«We have a strong economy, the strongest we’ve had in years, record growth in GDP inflation before the latest blip, which is temporary because of the Iran conflict,» Singer explained. «Inflation was at the lowest level we had for years and voters understand that it was the one unchecked runaway inflation under President Biden that put us in this situation.»
VOTERS SAY REPUBLICANS OUTDO DEMOCRATS ON THESE KEY ISSUES: FOX NEWS POLL
Singer continued, «President Trump and the administration have done so much to bring prices down across the board, and cutting regulations will continue to do that. The biggest tax cut in American history is reaching American taxpayers right now, with huge refunds going to individuals and the average refund for 12 million small businesses of $7,000 and that was done with every Democrat in Congress voting against it.»
Singer told Fox News Digital the GOP is now the «party of the middle» class thanks to tax-cutting policies for tips and overtime, and said he believes those «real benefits» will continue to take effect over the next year.

«I think people are going to be more optimistic,» Singer said. «If you look at so many objective indicators and not the panic that some media outlets put out there, things are great and when you interview voters and ask them about policies, they lean more to the right. They support the Republican agenda. That’s why I feel very optimistic, and I think other candidates, if we focus on the agenda and less on what the media would have us buy into comments about personality, it really affects what we’re doing on paychecks and what we are doing on the border.»
Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives heading into the 2026 midterms, one of the narrowest controlling margins in nearly a century, with Democrats widely believed to be holding an edge, especially given the party in power historically sees losses in midterm elections.
Aggressive redistricting by both parties in states across the country has complicated the situation even further.
Democrats have been hammering President Trump and the Republican Party on high gas prices and the economy, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed back on the Republican agenda in a statement to Fox News Digital.
«Florida Republicans knew they couldn’t win on their cost-raising, billionaire-first, wildly unpopular agenda that’s crushing working families and small businesses, which is why they’re desperate to gerrymander the maps and rig the midterms,» DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre said. «Any Republican who claims the GOP’s price-spiking policies are popular only proves the fact they have no idea what voters are feeling right now.»

A car plowed into a pedestrian zone in Leipzig, Germany, on Monday, killing two people and leaving several others seriously injured, officials said.
Reuters reported that police detained the driver, identified as a 33-year-old German man. Officials said there was no ongoing threat to the public as investigators work to determine what led to the incident.
Leipzig Mayor Burkhard Jung said the city was «mourning two deaths» and at least three people were seriously hurt, calling it a «horrific attack.»
«We are mourning two deaths, currently three seriously injured people, and many others who were injured,» Jung told journalists at a media briefing on Monday evening, according to Leipziger Volkszeitung.

«It’s impossible to find the right words for this horrific attack,» he added.
Germany, like several other European countries, has seen a string of car-ramming and stabbing attacks in recent years. Some have been tied to political or religious motives, while others have involved suspects with mental health issues.
Saxony’s prime minister, Michael Kretschmer, said the suspect in Monday’s incident may have been dealing with mental health issues. Officials said he surrendered without resistance, according to local outlet Leipziger Volkszeitung.
