Germany is the country that invented discount supermarkets. Trash and cheap (not anymore thanks to inflation) food is king. The typical sausages, the "Wurst" that they're so proud of is the worst (yeah "wurst", lol) of its kind, a pulverized, sanitized and bitless industrial paste. And their Salami has no tenure. Specialized shops like butcheries, cheeseries and bakeries that are own by individuals or small enterprises are basically gone, all replaced by industrial chains. It's quite rare to find one and even more rare one that propose organic. If you go in the former east, it's almost impossible to find a farm as everything was nationalized, when there's one, it's a factory.

Of course it's still possible to find good food and there are many organizations and initiatives that are doing their best, like cooperatives that allow for large orders and deliveries.

It also depend of the region.

There's a trend for organic and local, yet still mostly big chains that come with the typical hypocrisy of being overpackaged and not enough or nothing available loose).

Overall I don't know if it's becoming better of going worst.
