The data indicates the percentage of Germans indulging in meat every day has fallen sharply from 34% in 2015 to just 20% in 2023.

Simultaneously, the report highlights an encouraging trend towards plant-based diets. The adoption of vegetarian and vegan alternatives has seen a notable upswing, with the percentage of people integrating these options into their daily meals doubling from 5% in 2020 to an impressive 10% at present.
These changes are reflective of a broader movement toward sustainable and ecologically responsible eating practices, often referred to by hashtags such as #proteinwende (protein transformation) and #plantbased.
