Seen recently in a bakery: Promotional flyers for some expert or other's particular weight loss program designed to help you "lose weight while you sleep" by eating carb-heavy meals in the morning and protein-heavy meals in the evening.
So far so good (I guess), but then as its tie-in, the bakery was offering a special "high-protein" bread (lots of nuts and seeds and things in it), so that for your evening protein meal, you could have...bread.
(This makes marginally more sense when you know that many Germans still follow the old-fashioned, when-mom-was-at-home-to-cook-during-the-day-every-day pattern of eating a big warm meal during the day, and then just bread with various cold toppings in the evening. And that most Germans can happily eat bread as at least two of their three meals a day without complaint or finding anything odd about it.)
Still, though. Germany: a country so obsessed with bread and bread products, even its non-carb meals are carbs.
