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".

    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.

        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.
