I'm not a vegetarian but we have far too many animals, at least in Germany. Our water must be cleaned more and more expensive and these costs are borne by the general public. If the farmers would bear these costs themselves, then everything would be good but they would not be competitive. Cheap meat is no longer sustainable in my opinion.

Data show ammonia pollution from manure has already declined by nearly 70% since 1990. And farmers say they will continue to reduce pollution as they put in place low-cost, common-sense fixes, like diluting manure with water, injecting it into the soil and more frequently washing down barn floors.
