Germany news: Are Germans giving up their beloved meat and sausages?
Germans used to be all about sausages and meat. While those do remain popular, things seem to be slowly changing. There also are new insights into the economic side of East Germany's espionage DW has more.
Germany is famous for its variety of sausages and meats. However, there appears to be a shift as more people are cutting down on their meat consumption, even if they are not completely giving it up. A study conducted in connection with World Vegetarian Day revealed that 93% of German households purchase meat, but the overall amount bought has not decreased.
The drop is specifically seen in the sales of sausages. According to the study's authors, this suggests that people are becoming more conscious about their diet and trying to reduce their meat intake without ceasing to eat it altogether. Around 43% of meat-eaters admit that eating less meat would be beneficial for them, and 27% hope to purchase less meat in the future.
Chicken and pork are the most popular meats, with meat substitutes gaining traction, bought by approximately 35% of households.
