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.
Furthermore, German sausages — like German beer — are clearly contrary to the will of Allah. So all those New Germans will be OK with this, even if they are not especially hip to climate change.
Sausage, Sauerkraut, and Lager. It gets no better in Germany. Been there done that and I can attest.
Been there done that and I can attest, too........................
Sausage and beer, yeah, that’s a diet to give you gassss….
Well Germans, you thought being cast into poverty as your economy collapses and shivering in the darkness due to chronic energy shortages and sky high prices was enough.
HA! Not hardly.
Gaia demands a further sacrifice. You must also give up meat. Don’t worry, Gaia will graciously permit you to eat ze bugs instead.
The EU is a Satanic suicide pact and I don’t feel much sorrow for Euro citizens as they are apparently okay with this.
Global warming code name for nationalizing to control you.
American communist party clicks heels.
I am completely okay with those people who choose not to eat meat becoming vegetarians, but leave the normal people alone. I don’t eat meat at every meal but that is my choice, and if I chose to eat it every meal, the government should have no say in the matter.
Muslims are pushing restrictions on Sausage!
Sausage can be made from chicken or beef, or goat or sheep.........................
“Master race” submits itself to full perversion and contraception.
The Master is only God. The master race is only sinners trying to love God and repenting of their weakness.
All other is earthly levels of Dante’s hell and earthly life.
I think there are quite a few in the Biden administration that get a lot of use in and out of theirs.
You know, I am getting sick to f***ing death of hearing all these controlling assholes tell me what I can eat, whether or not I can have a car, where I can travel to, what I can say, what I can believe....
We need to have a bloody revolution where millions, if not billions, die.
Only one curry wurst and one beer per hockey period!
It was the best of times, it was the WURST of times..............
Zero sausages would be better, no?
Years ago, I came across a photograph of a modestly-sized, probably artesian, butcher shop making sausage. The entire process was visible; from the hopper full of ingredients, through the natural casings being filled with the ground filling, to the yards and yards of completed sausages being neatly arranged in continuous rows on the outfeed table.
In addition to the detail of the process, what was striking was how clean and orderly the facility, equipment, and workers were. There was obviously an emphasis on cleanliness and following established processes and procedures.
Upon seeing this photograph (which I did try to find an example of before writing out the above description), I thought of the old saying about sausage making and politics. I thought about it and realized how much more organized, orderly, and purposeful sausage making was. So I made and hung up a poster saying what I wrote previously:
“Actually, comparing sausage making to politics is an insult to sausage making.”
To be honest, Hitler only became a veggie-guy in 1938....because of stomach ailments. Admitting this and making it a ‘trademark’ to the public didn’t occur until you get to 1942.
Adding to this legend...at the same time in 1938, he gave up smoking and beer/booze. The vitamin/narcotics supplements? They don’t start until the very end of 1943.
