Tätä kysymystä tutkitaan vastuullisen kulutuksen ja erityisesti veganismin kautta eri teoreettisten linssien läpi strukturaalisesta näkökulmasta. Ensimmäinen essee tuo julki mediainstituutioiden roolin vastuullisen kulutuksen statuksen selittäjänä. Toinen essee taas keskittyy veganismin destigmatisointiin Iso-Britanniassa. Se keskittyy median ja julkkisten symbioottiseen rooliin, ja liittää tämän kehityksen laajempiin ideologioihin. Näiden kahden esseen pohjalta väitöskirja rakentaa teoreettisen viitekehyksen, joka selittää, miksi media ja julkkikset ovat edistäneet tätä muutosta. Kaksi viimeistä esseetä taas tutkivat prosessia, jolla tämä muutos on tapahtunut. Kolmas essee analysoi veganismin statuksen nousua, tai ns. co-optation-prosessia, brittiläisessä mediassa. Se kehittää uuden vaihemallin, joka tuo julki julkkisten kaksijakoisen roolin tässä prosessissa. Neljäs essee taas tutkii median ns. meta-pääoman roolia veganismin nousussa käyttäen Bourdieun kenttäteoriaa. Näiden kahden esseen pohjalta väitöskirja rakentaa bourdieulaisen viitekehyksen, joka selittää, miten media ja julkkikset ovat myötävaikuttaneet veganismin nousuun.

This question is explored through the rise of sustainable consumption and particularly veganism through different theoretical lenses, from a structural point of view. Through media analysis, the first essay uncovers the role of the media institution in explaining the status of sustainable consumption. The second essay focuses on the symbiotic role of media and celebrities in the destigmatisation of veganism in British media, and relates the development to wider ideologies. Based on these essays, the thesis builds a framework explaining why media and celebrities have contributed to this change. Conversely, the last two essays explore the process by which this change has happened. The third essay analyses co-optation of veganism in British media. The paper develops a novel stage model of co-optation which highlights the two-fold role of celebrities in the process. Finally, the fourth essay explores the role of media meta-capital in the rise of veganism using Bourdieu’s field theory. Based on these essays the thesis develops a Bourdieusian framework of how media and celebrities contribute to the rise of veganism. Keywords Media, celebrities, veganism, sustainable consumption, societal change VII ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the words of the Doctor, “a straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.” Similarly, my thesis journey could have taken a straighter route. All in all, it has been written in the low lands of Ostrobothnia, in the graffiti ridden and bohemian Eastern Berlin, in sunny Melbourne, in tropical Queensland, in the alpine scenery of the South Island in New Zealand, the “paradise island” of Koh Tao in Thailand, back in jolly old Berlin and, after months and months of being “almost finished”, finally finished in Maastricht, of all places. Academically, I have also taken many detours, exploring many different, often surprising ideas to my topic. I certainly did not think four years ago that I would spend such a major part of my thesis talking about Beyoncé. No doubt there would have been a straighter way to get to this point but it probably would not have been as interesting, rewarding or successful. Now, however, it is time to thank all of those who have helped me along the way. Firstly, without research grants from Suomen kulttuurirahasto, Nissin säätiö and Vaasan yliopistosäätiö this thesis would not have been possible. The University of Vaasa, Pohjanmaan korkeakoulukeskus, Liikesivistysrahasto and Maastricht University have also enabled me to attend several high-level conferences and seminars, and I am very grateful for the financial assistance as the journey would have been completely different without them. I want to also thank my supervisor, Professor Harri Luomala. Our ontological differences made the journey challenging but hopefully the end result justifies the choices made. Thank you for all your valuable input and for putting up with me. Similarly, a big thank you to a fellow CCTer and second supervisor, Dr. Henna Syrjälä, who provided valuable feedback especially in the last meters. As for my co-author, Dr. Alex... what can I say. Over three years ago, a strange German man sat next to me at a doctoral seminar in Brussels. Never did I think he would end up becoming such a big influence in my life. And for all that, I still owe you a big bottle of gin. As for my fellow sufferer, Petteri, thank you for letting off steam with me so often. It has been very cathartic. Thank you also for your peer reviews, coding help, trips to Berlin and Australia, as well as keeping me company in my little Micra on the road to Vaasa many, many moons ago. VIII Finally, Robert: thank you for the bootstraps, all the intertextuality and for, without a doubt, being the most infuriatingly frustrating person I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I also must thank all the other people who have brightened up my day immensely along this journey. Irma – thank you for taking me in to your home and your life. Without you I would not have had the opportunity to spend a wonderful year in Australia and for that I will always be very grateful. Anton, well, what would the year in Australia have been without you! Thank you for amusing me, and for attempting to help me with this thesis. Similarly, thank you, Salla. Without you I probably never would have had the courage to leave. A big thank you also to the long list of all the fellow scholars who I have had the pleasure of meeting in various seminars and conferences. Moreover, I want to thank all the people who took me in at Maastricht University. It took awhile for a CCTer with neo-Marxist affinities to find her place in a managerially and quantitatively driven business school but I think we got there in the end. I would also like to thank all the people at the Finnish Association for Environmental Education for making me believe that we can indeed change the world for the better. I hope my thesis will be a small step in that direction despite all the skepticism. And finally, I have to thank my parents who always encouraged me to read, learn, and write, and, ultimately, to do it my way. Isä ja äiti – kiitos. And with these words, I now give you my Rita Hayworth.

The numbers speak for themselves; consumption of meat-substitutes in the Netherlands increased 17% in 2017 as opposed to the year before, while at the same time retail sales of meat dropped with 1,7% (Knippenberg. 2018). The same goes for plant-based dairy substitutes, of which sales have increased with 6,6% over the same period, while dairy consumption has gone down 1,3%. People are adopting a vegan diet for various reasons, ranging from health associated to ethically based ones. Important influencers, like world famous musicians Beyoncé and Drake and world famous chefs Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, are promoting a vegan diet on their social media and thereby spreading the word about it. Companies are adapting to this growing trend, to make sure they hop on the bandwagon as soon as possible, like Ben & Jerry’s, who have recently released three non-dairy flavors ice creams alongside their regular flavors. Restaurant chains are of course also adapting to this development, like Vapiano, who have added a number of vegan options to their otherwise dairy- and meat-heavy menu, just like both Domino’s Pizza and New York Pizza are now selling multiple vegan pizza varieties.

Why are Europeans vegan? What do the Swiss fry up in their pans and which products land in the shopping carts of Portugal? Does the recent climate debate have an effect on what food people buy? And to what extent do vegans differ from omnivores when it comes to their daily dietary choices? Questions upon questions that have been swirling around in our brains for a while now. Questions we finally have answers to. Answers that show and help us understand what motivates people in Europe to make certain decisions in front of their supermarket shelves and what influences or moves them. How did we arrive at these answers? On the occasion of World Vegan Day 2019, we decided to conduct a Europe-wide online survey. In order to provide a comparison of results, country of origin and the test person’s diet choices played a major role. We also wanted to dig a bit deeper into the subject matter and so, in addition to the classic questions regarding nutri- tion and food purchases, we asked each participant about their attitudes on environmental protection, health, etc. This is how we found out that, for example, 86 % of European vegans said they consider sustainability and environmental protection very important when purcha- sing food – 13 % more than the people who do not eat a purely plant-based diet.

  • Are Vegan Diets a Better Alternative to Meat Eating?
    Are vegan diets a better alternative to meat eating? What they said ‘The number of animals that die to produce vegan food is astonishing’ Matthew Evans, former chef and food critic ‘Around two-thirds of all farm animals are factory farmed worldwide every year. This is nearly 50 billion animals’ Animal welfare group, Compassion in World Farming The issue at a glance On November 1, 2019, Vegan Australia announced that over 500 Australian food and other products had passed its strict certification criteria to be able to use the Vegan Australia Certified logo. The organisation further announced that these products now include Vegemite. Vegan Australia stated, ‘We're excited that Vegemite has approached Vegan Australia to be certified, ensuring that their customers and the estimated 500,000 vegans who live in Australia know that Vegemite meets the high standards set by Vegan Australia.’ In order to achieve such a certification, the item must be free from animal products, not tested on animals and have been made without using animal products in the production process. The organisation went on to claim, ‘Research conducted by Roy Morgan has found…the trend in vegetarian eating continues to [be growing], with 2.5 million people in Australia (12.1 percent of the population) now eating all or almost all vegetarian. That's an additional 400,000 individuals choosing meat-free meals in Australia since 2016.’ https://www.veganaustralia.org.au/vegemite_now_vegan_certified As part of the growing adoption of vegan foods, there has been a significant increase in the production and consumption of synthetic meat products which use plant protein in a way which simulates the taste, texture and appearance of meat products derived from animals.

In 2017-2018, 15 percent of worldwide new vegan food and drink product launches occurred in Germany. According to a study from the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, about 35 percent of the population see the availability of vegetarian or vegan products as ‘very important’, and 63 percent of Germans are trying to reduce their meat consumption, making the country one of the most vegetarian places in the world. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED I. Executive Summary Finding vegetarian and even vegan options is becoming easier in Germany - a land more commonly known for its sausages, schnitzel and abundant meat-plates, which usually star pork. Germany has the highest rate of vegetarianism compared to its European neighbors; the number of vegans is also on the rise. According to Proveg International, an international food awareness organization, there are 1.3 million vegans — people who don't consume any animal products – and 8 million vegetarians among Germany's population of 82 million. It's a number that increases every year. The food and beverage industry is changing - that much is clear.
