The German people have been advised by a joy sucking group of foodstuff busybodies to reduce their sausage consumption to a single wurst. Per meal? you ask. No: per month. Only twelve delicious sizzling juicy sausages per annum for Greta and Fritz. You might suspect that they want us to eat digestible corn-starch sleeves stuffed with crushed crickets, and maybe they do. But the main reason, according to the newspaper Bild: “The Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture has calculated that even halving meat consumption would bring Germany one percentage point closer to its climate goals.”
There you have it! Numbers are used, so it must be science. At the risk of being declared a Climate Denier, let me offer the reasons why I will not be taking the advice of any Saxony Chamber, high, low, or exactly at sea level. They have to do with the difficulties involved in the purchase of a single jalapeño. And for that, I must digress and explain how I shop.
