Det største eksportmarked for dansk landbrug, Tyskland, konsumerer så meget kød, at det belaster sundhedstilstanden. Deutsche Welle omtaler en regelmæssig undersøgelse af tyskernes madvaner og skriver bl.a:
"Meat consumption remains stable at a high level," explains Helmut Heseker, President of the German Society for Nutrition (DGE) which compiled the study. His organization recommends that meat consumption should not exceed 600 grams per week. Many people, especially men, eat that in a day. Even low-fat meat is often unhealthy because of the gravy or the bread-crumb coating.
But meat consumption does not only lead to gaining weight. It also increases the risk of cancer. "The consumption of red meat, i.e. pork, beef, goat and mutton increases the risk of colon cancer." Fish and poultry however do not carry this risk, Heseker says.
