How Germany is kicking its meat habit

I've heard this a few times before, but I think it says more about the quality of meat that people are eating here. Particularly the "Lyoner"-style ham - it feels just as artificial and processed if you buy it with or without meat.

That said, Rügenwalder are pretty good for the basics, and the mince and sausages are good in dishes where you're going to add a lot of flavour anyway.

Interestingly, chicken consumption is up and beef consumption is flat. Pork consumption is down, but remains far higher than beef or chicken.
