Of course they can. The following is a AfD request (source: German parliament, auto-translated by DeepL)

AfD demands warning against vegan diet

The AfD parliamentary group is calling for warnings about vegan diets. The Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) should "explicitly and emphatically warn of the dangers of a vegan diet without the additional intake of supplements, especially for risk groups", according to a motion (20/9798). The warnings would have to be visible digitally on the website of the Federal Agency. Furthermore, the warnings should be included in corresponding printed materials, including a list of possible symptoms of malnutrition.

They are simply against everything. That's the way they operate. Their party platform states that they want to remove all subsidies for farmers. At the same time they are protesting that a very small part of those subsidies is being removed. They try sow chaos, hatred and division. An AfD politician even said: "The worse Germany is doing, the better it is for the AfD"

This reminds me of a well known Austrian vegetarian in this context…

several eyewitness sources maintain Hitler was a vegetarian because of his concern for animal suffering, noting that he was often distressed by images of animal cruelty and suffering, and was an antivivisectionist.

Fucker should've gone one animal further.

Dehumanization is one hell of a drug

Thats insane

Is it? The German economy soared when all our food was traditional German and so was the entertainment. So obviously people opted comparatively fun activities like overtime in a steel mill.
