  1. > it concluded that beef should cost five or six times more than it does now, or over €80 ($90) per kilogram (2.2 pounds), rather than the current €14.

    Beef for the rich, insects for the poor. Germany is truly paving the way for a better future.

  2. Me: Well this decade has been a bit shit. Life is harder, rents are higher, future looks bleak. How much worse can it get?

    Greens: Food is still too cheap.

    edit: Constructive Suggestion: How about instead you give Synthetic Meat CAP funds to make it competitive with EU-subsidized agriculture?

  3. Despite being a meat lover, I’m fully behind this: the negative impacts of meat production have to be internalized.

    The same is true for any other activities: negative externalities must be internalized, for example through a carbon tax.

  4. He is right, the industrialization of meet is a rotten thing.

    The issue that people don’t have enough money to life anymore is rooted somewhere else.

    Maybe we should look at those billionaires who steal the wealth of all people.

  5. Good to see that German politician have their priority strait.

    The issu with low price meat is the quality… clearly not slavery working condition for Romanian working in it.

  6. >Food quality in Germany is too low, Özdemir said, and so are the prices, and everyone loses out because of it.

    …he hasn’t seen what german chain companies have beed getting off with in their faraway eastearn european shops… somebody has posted the same meat packaged for Austria and for Hungary, the hungarian one was more expensive and weighted less, and possibly contained less meat as well.

  7. I used to live in a country where meat was a luxury, especially quality meat. This country disappeared exactly three decades ago, partially because the leadership failed to provide the people with enough good food.

    I am surprised that any public figure that openly declares that their voters pay too little for basic needs is not removed from office the very next day.

  8. Meat for the rich, the plebes can eat insects. For the environment ofc, while the rich and politicians travel in private jets.

    Seriously gtfo.
