This is another classic example of Tragedy of the Commons [1].
Outright bans will likely never be feasible at all, though we could (and should) consider banning many of the bad practices that usually come with large-scale factory farming (and publicly funding grants/subsidies for these plant-based alternatives).

- hervature 5y agoI prefer the equivalent but opposite legislation, remove meat and dairy subsidies. I don’t have faith in governments to constantly fine tune subsidies to the right things. Subsidies just become a means for politicians to pass money to their constituents. It took Canada 60 years to stop emphasizing cow milk consumption in their dietary guide, I have very little faith in governments to get things right let alone in a quick iterative fashion.
