Deutsche Bauern halten 25 Prozent weniger Schweine und 18 Prozent weniger Rinder als vor zehn Jahren. Doch der Trend geht zu größeren Betrieben.

Wenn Schweiine und Rinder zahlenmäßig an Bedeutung verlieren, dann ist wohl auch zu erwarten, daß das entsprechende Lebensmittelangebot zurückgeht.

In der Konsequenz stellt sich mit neuer Dringlichkeit die Frage, wieso noch immer Soja"Milch", vermutlich auch Tofu, nicht von der reduzierten Mehrwertsteuer profitieren. Die Differenz zur "normalen " Mehrwertsteuer ist mittlerweile nicht mehr zu vernachlässigen.
