A salsicha da discórdia

Two years ago, Germany’s environmentalist Green Party’s campaign proposal to create a wurst-less “veggie day” sparked howls of “hands off my sausage” from the center-right. Germans rejected the party and their proposal.

A similar sentiment swept Germany following the WHO announcement.

“My father is 103 years old and he has been eating wurst all his life,” said Doris Behring, who serves sausages to her grandson. “I’m not going to stop eating wurst at 65.”
