Well I get your point and I guess it might "help" in convincing people to do different. However this certain example is not helpfull I think because most people won't associate it with eating meat. The impact is just not big enough - 700 is a small number and piglets don't sound like "food" to most people. The problem is there are not many viable alternatives for the whole population just different solutions whithin each persons "morale" standards.

there#s a lot of alternatives. i, for example, only eat meat if i know where it came from (well, honestly: 90% of the time. sometimes i can't help myself, which i'm not proud of, but i want to be honest here). i buy it from local farmers, which i could visit anytime and/or have it sent to me by a good friend who is a bio-bauer himself (www.vetterhof.at).
almost the same goes for vegetables: i won't buy spanish tomatoes in december, i eat seasonal, local products (again, 90% of the time, i'm not perfect and don't claim to be, but i make an effort).
food is an enviromental issue at least as big as oil, but it doesn't get half of the attention, unless there's horsemeat labeled as beef or spanish cucumbers coated in EHEC...


EDIT: also: the heap of 700 dead piglets on the side of the road doesn't look like a small number to me. and i do see a connection with food, because they were destined to be food. just publish the pic with the caption: this is why you can buy pig meat for x.xx€/$/etc per kilo.

I believe it's an issue to be resolved technologically this century, with the development of mass produced, high quality synthetic meats.

Dude spoiler that. It's ugly!




Just grabbed the latest issue of my favorite magazine Monocle. The whole issue is on Germany!


[*clicky*]

The mag is fantastic in general and it's a worldwide release (albeit in assorted shops). I highly recommend it without having actually looked into it. Should be super informative if you're only mildly interested in German politics, economics and lifestyle.

I thought that was a giant gummy bear attached to the front of the magazine. I would have bought it if it was. :(

Oh there are a lot of alternatives I admit that and everyone justifies the one he is currently living. From eating as much meat for as cheap as possible to licking stones and not touching fruit. There are a lot of factors - personality, morale, money, time, etc. when it comes to food I just don't believe you can change someone radically with 700 about to be killed piglets. Printing a picture of the millions of male chicks killed and the female ones hatched into an efficient "Legebatterie" on a egg carton might help a lot more - this is my point. Showing the "meat" right before it is processed might be the better way because the piglets look more like pets and the association that those might have become pigs ridden with filth and dirt controlled by electric shocks and antibiotics is missing or suppressed.

I know the food from the Vetterhof as I know many farmers from that region. Still even some of them had a big problem when it came to cheese. Some "bio farmers" bought chicken shit from Germany full with antibiotics for their grass - the cows eat that and now the cheese quality suffers mysteriously. Money ...

no. most certainly not. but it is one step - and we have actually come a long way since the 80ies, especially concerning the chicken you use as an example. there were no "freilandeier" in the 80ies, today i pretty much see nothing else.
and that happened because the general public was made aware of the circumstances and enough people decided to pay more for "non-legebatterie" eier.

it's a step by step process. i don't expect a revolution, but i want things to change slowly and showing what the status quo is, is step #1.


EDIT - (second bold part) i'm intrigued... do i maybe even know you? or are you professionally involved in these sort of things?

I am not professionally involved in anything but I think it is an important topic. Also I know the Vetterhof - I sometimes buy stuff from them at the local market before drinking a glass of wine on saturdays at the cafe behind their booth :)

How advanced do you mean? At the pretertiary level (the two years before university) we had quite specialized history courses. For example, one course for Australian history, one course for "Modern World History" (Major 20th century events with a focus on WW1 and 2) etc. The level of depth in high school generally was quite poor, but I think that's typical for schools around the world.

"Advanced" is only a name. On the highest school you can visit in Germany you have two years (12 and 13) where you have to choose between two basic subjects and two advanced subjects to get your general qualification for university entrance ("Abitur"). In those four subjects you have to do oral and written tests.
The "advanced" courses are supposed to be more challenging or going more into the deep. But it's mostly stupid. And most of the time it's wiser to choose the subject by the teacher who teaches it and you get along with the best.

It's missing so much. :/

British history and the history of the US are far more interesting. :(

or the school. i chose "theology" (religionskunde) as one of my oral exams (along with philosophy, english & history) in my (catholic convent) school. graduated summa cum laude and still have no idea how that came to be.
