The Liberal Party in Oslo wants to investigate a ban on advertisements for Big Macs and flights on the city’s subway system [1]. The proposal is expected to spark a major dispute in the city council [1].

The party argues that such ads promote unhealthy eating habits and high-carbon travel [1]. A ban would target fast food and airline commercials specifically on the T-bane, Oslo’s metro network [1].

The plan is still in early stages [1]. The Liberal Party is calling for a formal study to explore where the legal limits should be set [1]. Critics say the move could be too restrictive and difficult to enforce [1].

The debate is set to begin in the coming weeks [1].
