Clearly Veg reports:

Barbara Hendricks, Germany's environment minister, has banned meat in all official functions and called for only vegetarian food to be served. The ban became clear through an email "to department heads from a senior civil servant in the environment ministry", according to The Telegraph . The e-mail noted that the ministry had a responsibility and should set an example to combat the "negative effects of meat consumption", with a statement by the ministry reading:

"We're not telling anyone what they should eat. But we want to set a good example for climate protection, because vegetarian food is more climate-friendly than meat and fish."

Unsurprisingly, the ban has caused a lot of controversy. Minister of food and agriculture Christian Schmidt, who has previously stated that he will push for a ban on "misleading" vegan labels such as vegan curry sausages, stated that he will not be having this "Veggie Day through the back door", and that "meat and fish are also part of a balanced diet".

    Soylent Red, Yellow, and Green: a cornucopia of flavor!
    Or maybe just that shitty drink instead.

    Germany continues down its path of becoming a pussy. Not surprising a woman is leading this action.

    Vaginas are damn tough. Know what's weak, fragile, and ridiculous? Balls. Find some other insult to get your point across.

      If you had some balls, my post wouldn't bother you so much that you had to reply to it.
      Since you brought it up, vaginas are not strong, they are weak. They get infected easily (witness the broad line of vaginal yeast infection creams) and require regular checkups from a doctor specially dedicated to their problems (gyno).
      But back to what I was saying, Germany is weakening itself at the hands of its female German leaders. Angela Merkel fucked (literally!) her countrymen and women by accepting the criminal rapist Muslim refugees. Foolish, self-inflicted damage done out of weakness to stand up for her own people.

        If I had balls, something would be seriously wrong, given I've got two X chromosomes. And if vaginas are weak, how the hell come they're constantly pushing out watermelon-sized living beings through them, huh? Have you ever seen anyone give birth? I watched my brother come into this world when I was 6, and my mother says she had me *without* an epidural, unlike him. Did you know the vikings would even afford a warrior's burial to a woman who died in childbirth?

        No, you didn't know any of this. Then again, I'd be amazed if you've ever been near the female reproductive tract in your life barring your 0th birthday...

          You are avoiding addressing my argument about weak female German leaders, instead remaining hung up on your stupid genitals.

          In the spirit of getting past this, I will address you using a gender neutral term: Asshole! Surely that will sit better with you. Have a lovely weekend.

            Ahh...projection, hypocrisy, and ignorance, the unholy trinity of the alt-reich. Fuck you too, manlet. You got your cheetos-inflated ass beat, now waddle off.

                So Elizabeth is "no one" now? :) Son, I guaran-god-damn-tee you I get more pussy in a week than you have--or will!--in your entire pathetic basement-dwelling incel life. And YOU were the one who brought it up, not me. Stick the flounce already; you're actually making me feel guilty for beating on you this hard!

                  I totally read you within a couple of posts.

                  You, on the other hand, couldn't be more wrong of my dating history, marital status, or
                  housing situation. What's the difference? I *listen* to people. You instead project your own worldview onto others without bothering to learn if it matches reality, i.e., no listening.

                  Going by these posts, I would hold onto your SO because you sound like the more difficult partner, and it could be hard for you to find someone else.

                  I know "winning" is really important to you, so I promise no further replies. Get in the last word, as my weekend gift to you. And thanks for giving me a real laugh with your posts! Fear the balls! Ha.

      That is +5 Insightful?
      It's just a weird, off-kilter rant. There is no information in that post, so it didn't deserve any additional points. Welcome to echo chamber Soylent where "You go, girl!" posts get top modding.
