Keep in mind it is Berlin and the "Across Germany, university canteens and cafeterias currently offer 30-50% vegetarian options after years of rising demand," is bull shit. I have two grand kids in uni and they said there cafeterias still have a great selection of meats. And "In 2019, Berlin universities fed about 5.6 million meals to students in its canteens. That same year a survey found that 13.5% of Berlin’s student population described themselves as keeping a vegan diet, compared with just 1.6% in the country as a whole, while a further 33% said they were vegetarians." implies the vegetarians are forcing meat eaters to give up meat.

Yes, the article sounds like bullshit. I'm in Berlin and don't believe the Veggie- Guardian propaganda. They are talking about 34 outlets catering to ONLY 4 universities in all of Berlin, and we all know that those 4 are the 'special kind' of university. I am from that city and can tell you that no one will mess with our Currywurst, Buletten, Königsberger Klopse, Doner Kebab, Hühnerfrikasse or Schnitzel. We Germans love our meat and some Eco warriors having more choice in lentils and bean soja foods won't change it.

In think what you guys are missing from your analysis is that most young vegetarians and vegans cheat and then lie about their diet to their peers. It's social media profile as your authentic self culture.

Likely most of these kids are telling surveys they want only vegetarian food and then are sneaking out to eat meat kebabs when drunk or craving.

It's Victorian hypocrisy come back again but with a lot less actual sex being had.
