Only in Switzerland would the top story in the local newspaper (granted, it's a free, somewhat tabloid-like publication) be about how Swiss butchers are upset that the new Miss Switzerland is a vegetarian. In a recent interview, she said that "Ich werde nie eine Bratwurst essen" (I will never eat a bratwurst). Apparently, in Switzerland those are fighting words. Butchers and meatlovers are united in their frustration over her comments. According to one Fleischfreund (literally translated into "friend of meat") who was interviewed for the story, you can tell she's a vegetarian because "sie hat kein Fleisch am Knochen" (she doesn't have any meat on her bones).
