A real earthquake in the land of currywurst.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A sudden and radical renunciation<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German nutrition authority tells the daily Bild that it now takes into account factors other than just \u201chealth\u201d to base its decisions on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cattle farming sacrificed on the altar of global warming<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab&nbsp;<em>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\u2019s a scientific fact<\/em>\u201c, indicates the DGE to the German newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 CO\u2082 balance of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admittedly, the DGE only publishes recommendations. Just don\u2019t follow them. Except that this body is also a certification body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not just a recommendation<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 \u00d6zdemir. \u201cThe Pathway to the Federal Government\u2019s Nutrition Strategy\u201d was adopted by his cabinet in December 2022 and a plan is due to be approved by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatedepot.com\/2022\/11\/22\/germany-cutting-back-meat-production-to-fight-global-warming-seek-to-reduce-all-livestock-on-german-farms-by-50\/\">Germany cutting back meat production to fight \u2018global warming\u2019 \u2013 To reduce all livestock on German farms by 50%<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farmers have been protesting the decision in the same way they recently did&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-62335287\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the Netherlands<\/a>&nbsp;this summer, but the initiative is moving forward beginning this year.
