Wall Street Journalさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Wall Street JournalInstagram)「Oktoberfest is usually all about the beer. This year, it is about chicken.⁠ ⁠ A decision by the Paulaner festival tent to serve all-organic hens at its marquee venue is stoking a debate between advocates of a sustainable Oktoberfest against traditionalists wary of a “Woke Wiesn”—a play on the short form of the name of the Bavarian celebration.⁠ ⁠ “It’s more expensive, but the quality is higher,” said Arabella Schörghuber, who runs the Paulaner Festzelt. “We want to make sure that the animal has a good life. We’ll see what happens.”⁠ ⁠ The menu shift follows a pressure campaign by a coalition of groups, demanding that the festival of hearty food and enormous beers should turn into a vehicle promoting organic farming. Supporters of the chicken initiative say that the changes are important to meet the city’s goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2035. ⁠ ⁠ Activists have sought gastronomic mandates at the festival, but the city has not imposed them. An association of Munich’s innkeepers have pushed back at such rules, saying people should be allowed to live—and eat—as they see fit. ⁠ ⁠ For many visitors, locals and overseas tourists, Oktoberfest is a freewheeling carnival—a chance to let loose and drink (often to excess) beer served by waitresses clad in revealing Dirndl dresses. Many guests also don the traditional Bavarian outfits and tie the ribbon of their aprons on a different side to indicate whether they are single or taken.⁠ ⁠ “It must stay a traditional volksfest, because otherwise it wouldn’t be attractive,” said Clemens Baumgärtner, an official who oversees the festival and a member of the conservative CSU. “If you talk about being woke on the other 340 days a year, nobody really listens to that. But if you talk about being woke on the Oktoberfest, you get lots of media attention.” ⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Johannes Simon/Getty Images」9月21日 0時01分
