I have to vent my anger for a moment... I have just noticed that at the meat counter in Migros Ostermundigen every patty, entrecôte, chop... is individually shrink-wrapped! Migros, which claims to be environmentally conscious and wants to reduce plastic waste!!!! What is this nonsense? I am simply appalled and speechless....
Hello Bea54, thank you for your inquiry. I can tell you the following: The staff can decide for themselves how many items they want to present individually packaged in the buffet. This is usually done at the beginning of the week to reduce food waste. The items keep for longer and do not have to be disposed of after 3 days if not sold. On request, the butcher can also cut cookies, entrecôte, etc. fresh, without individual vacuum packaging. So you can also take the fresh, unpackaged pieces of meat home in your own container. I hope this information is helpful for you and wish you a nice day. Best regards, Sina

Dear Sina, thank you for your detailed answer. Yes, that makes sense, but it still remains questionable for me. Best regards Bea
Dear Bea If you are already so appalled and speechless because of a little plastic, I would like to say that I am appalled and speechless that people still think that using plastic is worse than eating meat. If you want to do something really meaningful for the environment, why don't you give up meat altogether, that's the best thing you can do (for the animals too), this is also the recommendation of WWF: Copied from the WWF website: https://www.wwf.ch/de/nachhaltig-leben/mein-fussabdruck-ernaehrung: "What are the most important aspects of an environmentally friendly diet?
If you want to make your diet more environmentally friendly, you will achieve the most if you change your habits in this order: Switch from an animal-based to a largely plant-based diet, avoid food waste, buy organic products instead of conventional products, do not buy food that has been imported by air, do not buy food that has been grown in fossil-fuelled greenhouses. Our online guides support you in your purchasing decisions and help you to consume sustainably." We are all consumers and it is up to us to decide what is in demand!!!

I came across it for the first time on Saturday 15.05.21 in the Lyssbachpark branch, but luckily there's still the butcher in the village, so I hope he benefits. MigrosAare is testing unpackaged but the meat counter now packs more?🤷🏼♂️ Doesn't suit Generation M for me
