WHO calls for cigarette-style cancer warnings on alcohol packaging
Cancer charities back call for ‘prominent’ warning labels while industry body says move ‘not proportionate’
Holy. I've never seen such a perfect example of moving goalposts before.
I'm impressed.
If you don't understand something in specific ask me to explain it.
Summary: The WHO are a bunch of hypocrites serving big-pharma interests and feeding propaganda
We have more important things to discuss than what WHO does or doesn't when we will never be asked by WHO on our opinion or whether we choose to support those nobodies.
For decades US-TV wasn't showing alcohol ads, no effect. Since I watch no tv or US sports, I wouldn't know they begun showing them again. During the decades I watched tv (star-trek NG, taxi, cheers, mork&mindy,SNL) there were never alcohol commercials.
Cigarette labeled packs with horror pics and messages in EU had no effect, but socially pressuring people to quit smoking had a dramatic increase in anti-depressant medication. CIgarettes in the EU all look alike now, less than 10% of the box is left for brand/color/label etc. Nobody pays attention to what the box says.
Italian hospitals first, then French, came out saying they had deaths with symptoms and went back to stored blood samples and were positive for SARS-cov2 ... 2months before the first case in China. The Who was still saying that the evidence on where in China the virus originated were inconclusive. They are still publishing reports on covid based on data that only a handful of countries are still providing. They are the joke of the health sector. Big-Pharma must have cut their bribes down and they are seeking bribes from Alcohol companies.
You need something better to do with your time than type out a bunch of nonsense no one is going to read.
Everyone has told you multiple times you are flat out wrong about tv ads. Suck it up and move on.
Factcheck: Everyone hasn't told @iriyan@lemmy.ml that they're flat out wrong about TV ads. I haven't had my turn yet.
@iriyan@lemmy.ml, you are flat out wrong about TV ads for alcoholic beverages in the USA. I'm cheerfully hoisting an adult beverage soon as I've posted this, "as seen on TV."
I am making it all up this never existed, I remember strongly Carter, Raegan, Bush speaking on tv and then there was a Jack Daniels commercial ..
Am I making this up?
What media can safely say 71% of the audience is over 21? A scary movie? Something with explicit sex, what, because that is what teens will run and watch.
Federal and local courts went head to head about alcohol advertising in the 90s and targeting teens (or under aged drinkers 21 in the US since early 1980s). Remember Coors nearly going bankrupt, or Camel being attacked because of their camel cartoon character ads? Superficial hypocritical measures that only lawyers and insurance companies can appreciate.
The division between beer and malt-liquor/liquor in the US is very specific to US regulation that separates beer from liquor. From state to state to sell liquor beer and wine may be separate licenses.
Did any of this have an impact in reducing under 21 addiction, mortality, DUI rates? NO!!
That link even says they advertise on tv.
Did i make up the tv ads i linked to you?
Let it go, dude. Jesus.
you are such an ignorant troll, this is like saying Julian Assange was never in prison, I just saw him yesterday walking on the beach!
Why don't you let it go when it was common knowledge than nearly for half a century there was no liquor advertised on public tv in the US. Whether it was a law or the 3networks shut down and said lets' self regulate so they don't make laws against it .. is a different story.
Your delusional. Take your meds and go away.
