Germans eat an average of 60 kilos of meat per year. We like to displace where it comes from. Jenke von Wilmsdorff, a convinced meat eater, is investigating this. He visits mass fattening farms and organic farmers. Meat is the most popular foodstuff of the Germans, but what is the price for responsible production? What pressure are meat producers under and are there real alternatives to mass breeding? A sensitive issue around animal husbandry is transport. Jenke von Wilmsdorff wants to feel it for herself and exposes herself to an extreme situation created for animals for slaughter: For one day he rides on a livestock transporter - not in the driver's cab, but strapped in on the loading area between hundreds of pigs. In unusual experiments, he also illustrates how genetically modified animals are bred up to become pure meat suppliers and how they compare with "normal" conspecifics. (Text: RTL)
