Ein zweischneidiges Schwert: anundfürsich sind strengere Regeln schön und gut. Aktuell fehlt leider der Markt. Es ist wichtig, dass der Konsument die strengeren Regeln wertschätzt. Aktuell hat er die Wahl - und leider wählt er oft gegen stregere Regeln und gegen Label-Produkte. Das Tierschutzniveau der Schweiz unterscheidet sich deutlich von demjenigen im Ausland. Sind die Regeln generell höher, würde mehr Importware gekauft.

Das Rentenalter soll der Lebenserwartung angepasst werden, damit auch wir "jungen" noch eine AHV haben. Flexible alternativen wie eine Lebensarbeitszeit wären ein gangbarer Weg.
