German meat industry warns of empty supermarket shelves, another 40% jump in meat prices

The German meat industry has warned of impending supply bottlenecks, especially concerning pork, and a board member is putting at least some of the blame on Germany’s current left-wing government, which is well-known for its attacks on meat and efforts to transition to a plant-based food supply.

“In four, five, six months, we will have nothing on the shelves,” predicts Hubert Kelliger, head of group sales at the large butcher Westfleisch and also a member of the board of the Meat Industry Association (VDF), according to Die Welt.

One of the main factors affecting Germany’s meat supply, according to Kelliger, is the reduction of fattening pigs from livestock farmers. Others farmers have simply given up on production and are going bankrupt.

Once upon a time, I would have thought you'd get open rebellion by Germans over a pork shortage.

Now? Not so sure.

Merkel’s imported pets will NOT worry about the price of anything.

Just got back from the local IGA after paying $1.69/lb for a boneless pork loin.

Pork has historically been and continues to remain the best fresh meat buy in the market.

When shopping, REMEMBER this terminology...
lab-grown, or “cultivated,” chicken.

FDA approval puts lab-grown meat one step closer to your dinner plate

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2022/11/17/23462902/lab-grown-meat-upside-fda-approval-usda-cultivated-meat-animal-welfare

On Wednesday, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval to Upside Foods, a startup based in the San Francisco area, to sell its lab-grown, or “cultivated,” chicken. The product — which is biologically indistinguishable from chicken meat taken from a slaughtered bird — is made by growing animal cells in bioreactors, which are fed a mix of nutrients to develop into fat and muscle tissue. Though the company still needs USDA approval before it can sell to consumers, it’s a major step forward in the race to what could be an ethically and environmentally superior form of meat.

Happy I had a tour in Germany in the 80s. Great cold cuts and schnitzel. Cold cuts were so good I used to bring a few pounds back to a military friend stationed in Vicenza, Italy.

(Until the drug dog put me through a two hour search after exiting the airplane.)

Drug dog was not supposed to alert on meat products but this big guy loved the German cold cuts too.

No I didn't give the dog a slice of bologna. Handler wouldn't allow me.

Oh, the government has something to do with the shortage. On purpose. Maybe there should be a Bundestag fire.

Tell you what. We had better seriously consider this a preview of what is coming here next. This “Never going to happen here” is extremely nearsighted and ignorant. We better make a plan, and soon.

Yes, gutting them is a delicate maneuver. But the meat is SO tasty!

Not to worry. Pretty soon they’ll be importing meat from China. Mmmm.

Looks like Lily is going to have to find an alternate source for schnitzengruben.
