German daily newspaper Bild: Only one sausage per month for everyone! – “Less meat consumption = better climate? The Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture has calculated that even halving meat consumption would bring Germany one percentage point closer to its climate goals.” … “No one wants to ban people from their occasional currywurst. But overall meat consumption in the population is too high for health and sustainability reasons, it’s a scientific fact“, indicates the DGE to the German newspaper.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) now recommends reducing meat consumption to 10 grams per day per person to combat global warming. … A sudden and radical renunciation: The average meat consumption of Germans is 109 grams per day, or about 763 grams per week. The population will therefore have to drastically change its eating behavior if it agrees to comply with this new strategy.
The DGE is no longer just about health – But the DGE is no longer just concerned with health reasons! The background to the planned meat reform is something completely different: in the future, environmental factors such as “sustainability” will also be taken into account in the recommendations.
Less meat consumption = better climate? The Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture has calculated that even halving meat consumption would bring Germany one percentage point closer to its climate goals. Rather, the big chunk of CO2 emissions is the energy sector (including lignite-fired power plants).
︎ Heike Harstick, general manager of the meat association, is appalled. She tells BILD: “Even in Germany, many people are already undersupplied with certain nutrients, such as iron or vitamin B12. If the new nutritional recommendations presented by the DGE were to remain and such a drastic reduction in animal-based foods recommended, the deficiency would increase.” The planned reference values are “in no way scientifically proven”.
In general, the DGE emphasizes: “Nobody wants to forbid people to eat their currywurst occasionally. But overall meat consumption in the population is too high for health and sustainability reasons, that’s a scientific fact.”

According to a information reported by the German daily Bild, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) now recommends reducing meat consumption to 10 grams per day per person to combat global warming. A real earthquake in the land of currywurst.
On May 22, it was the Court of Auditors which suggested to the French, in a detailed report, to reduce their meat consumption to 500 grams per week.
A sudden and radical renunciation
The average meat consumption of Germans is 109 grams per day, or about 763 grams per week. The population will therefore have to drastically change its eating behavior if it agrees to comply with this new strategy. A previous recommendation from the same organization was less severe (600 grams of meat per week), so why such a reversal?
The German nutrition authority tells the daily Bild that it now takes into account factors other than just “health” to base its decisions on.
Cattle farming sacrificed on the altar of global warming
« No one wants to ban people from their occasional currywurst. But overall meat consumption in the population is too high for health and sustainability reasons, it’s a scientific fact“, indicates the DGE to the German newspaper.
From now on, environmental factors are also an integral part of the evaluation criteria of the nutrition agency. This means that it no longer confines itself to stating how much meat is healthy, or what kind of meat to avoid, it also takes into account the CO₂ balance of food.
Admittedly, the DGE only publishes recommendations. Just don’t follow them. Except that this body is also a certification body.
Not just a recommendation
Some activities depend directly on the approval of the DGE, this is particularly the case for school canteens. Indeed, it awards certificates to canteens. Those that do not have it are almost considered unhealthy. Will the nutrition authority continue to issue certifications to canteens that offer meat beyond the recommended quota?
Note that the directives of the DGE have been taken into account in the new nutritional strategy proposed by the German Minister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir. “The Pathway to the Federal Government’s Nutrition Strategy” was adopted by his cabinet in December 2022 and a plan is due to be approved by the end of the year.
Germany cutting back meat production to fight ‘global warming’ – To reduce all livestock on German farms by 50%
Farmers have been protesting the decision in the same way they recently did in the Netherlands this summer, but the initiative is moving forward beginning this year. Now, to the great surprise of nobody who has been paying attention, the German Meat Industry Association has reported that the country will be facing a severe meat shortage by the time spring arrives and consumers should expect prices to skyrocket, potentially doubling in some cases.
Politics is like sausage. If you enjoy either one, it’s best that you don’t watch it being made. - .................
terrible...less meat...people will die younger...you watch...that’s what this all about...
crops are FAR more damaging to the environment than cattle.
Yep, they want people to become vegans and die as young as possible......................
Crops, especially WHEAT and other GRAINS, are FAR more damaging to the HUMAN HEALTH than meat from cattle...............
They want us dead at a early age, 40-50, so that they won’t have to take care of us in our old age..............
Climate change is the phrenology/phlogiston/caloric of the 21st century
This constant control of everything is beyond crazy. Narry a day goes by without some lunatic dictate. The dictators should all be in insane asylums.
There is no MAN MADE climate change. It is a lie.
There is however billions of year history of earth’s climate changing over time but it is not the result of anything man has done.
How did humans survive climate changes in the past, simply they either adapted or them moved.
Ok .... but I'm still cooking it over a burning tire
Our new world religion ... the same as the old world religion
mother gaia ... baal ... lucifer
The attack against man, Gods image, is really on a roll.

Co2 and Methane are NOT pollutants! They are totally harmless to humans and needed for life on Earth!
“Only one sausage per month for everyone!’ German Nutrition Society recommends over 90% reduction in daily meat eating– to combat global warming”
Oh, they’re just being SILLY. I’m old enough to remember when these same RIGHT WING ALARMISTS claimed that gays would come after their kids, if we let them get ‘married’, and when they said that if you like your gasoline car, you can keep (and replace) your gasoline car.
I’m not fooled, I know that they will NEVER try to stop people from eating meat. How do I know it? Easy, they haven’t tried doing that, yet.
despues de las vacas siguen las mascotas, de hecho la gente tiene mas mascotas que vacas
Oh no! MEAT causes global warming? Well - let the Germans be the guinea pigs for this latest experiment.
In the end, these people are just self-righteous scolds whose primary belief is in their own moral superiority. A belief based entirely in their own narcissism.
And as C.S. Lewis pointed out they will torment their fellow man mercilessly and endlessly secure in their conviction they are doing it for his own good.
New Nazi rule by Climate Nazis.
Not at all. They want you to eat manufactured insects that are raised inside controlled buildings where there is less water usage and no emissions.
They have already rolled this out in certain areas and in school lunches.
Chitin, a compound found in insect exoskeletons, is indigestible by humans................
