Quick-Vegan-Guide-Updated-10.27 Go Vegan! Go Vegan! Go Vegan! But what the heck is Vegan? Why do we hear it so ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ often and how the heck do I “Go Vegan?” So very often, we see and hear those words along ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with shocking facts, but nowhere can we find a school, a course, a class, a books or film on how ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to actually go vegan. Any command phrase can leave a stigma of judgement, annoyance and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ essence of holier than though. But had I had access to a guide from those voices earlier in my ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ life, I would have gone Vegan a loooonnnnng time ago.

It is perhaps the first scholarly attempt to study the vegetarian community in China that does not treat it as an Oriental phenomenon isolated from any outside influence.

  • Meat Consumption and Potential Reduction for Environmental and Public Health Benefits
    MEAT CONSUMPTION AND POTENTIAL REDUCTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS by GARRETT LENTZ A thesis submitted to the University of Otago in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography June 2019 Abstract The focus of this thesis was to better understand meat consumption and investigate how a shift to more plant-based diets may best be promoted. The various environmental impacts linked to animal agriculture were explored and a movement towards more plant-based diets was found as a solution that could alleviate environmental impacts, along with the added benefit of improving public health and helping to safeguard future food security. Shifting a behaviour that is as prevalent as meat consumption is no easy task however, as high rates of meat intake have become normalised in many developed nations, being influenced not only by the desires of individual actors’, but also structures within society that encourage continued production and consumption. Potential economic, regulatory, and informational measures to encourage meat reduction were explored and after weighing multiple factors, the potential for information provision to shift consumer meat intake held promise. However, before further inquiry into potential information provision measures, it was advisable to first obtain a more thorough understanding of consumers’ meat consumption within the relatively understudied nation of New Zealand. Thus, the first study of the thesis sought to better understand New Zealand consumers’ meat intake through the distribution of a nationwide questionnaire. Awareness of meat’s environmental impacts was determined to be low and the most common motivations for reducing meat were considerations of cost and health.

  • THE FIVE BEST FOOD FILMS of ALL TIME EFF Speech on Tuesday, March 21, 2017
    THE FIVE BEST FOOD FILMS OF ALL TIME EFF Speech on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 By Chris Palmer Mention plan for evening and EcoComedy winners at end and thank TNC. As I’ve said before, this evening is pretentiously called “An Evening with Chris Palmer.” The Festival asked me to do this event about 12 years ago, and I’ve been doing it annually ever since. Tonight I want to talk about the five best food films of all time. Now everyone please stand up, find someone you’ve never met before, and discuss for two minutes the best food films you’ve ever seen. Go! Ask audience members for their ideas! You may have noticed that I didn’t give you much structure for this question. Does food refer to nutrition, agriculture, factory farming, obesity, food waste, junk food, global food trade, or what? Also, by best food films, was I referring to impact? Did the film influence consumers’ purchasing decisions? Did policy makers take action to address, for example, the wretchedness of the standard American diet? Was there a lot of press coverage? Or by best food films, did I simply mean your favorite? As you can see, selecting the five best food films is complicated. Food is important to me for personal reasons. My father died of prostate cancer, and I have his genes. As I’ve researched and learned about cancer, I’ve become convinced that a plant-based diet is the best way to prevent prostate cancer. At the same time, a plant-based diet is one of the most powerful ways to fight climate change and to stop animal cruelty.

  • Le Guide Végane Conseils Et Astuces Pour Évoluer Vers Le Véganisme
    PEA et l’Association Veganovorus présentent Le Guide végane Conseils et astuces pour évoluer vers le véganisme VOUSSommaire SOUHAITEZ FAIRE VOS PREMIERS PAS DANS LE VÉGANISME ? Ce guide est fait pour vous ! Il est là pour répondre à vos questions pratiques sur comment mettre en action vos valeurs de justice pour les humains, de respect de la Terre et de bonne santé de votre corps. Vous y trouverez des adresses de magasins et de restaurants à Lausanne présentant des offres véganes dans leurs rayons ou à leurs cartes, des recettes simples mais délicieuses à concocter, des informations nutritionnelles, quelques définitions et surtout beaucoup de good vibes pour bien débuter votre évolution / transition. INTRODUCTION Le véganisme est un mouvement de justice sociale luttant pour la fin du spécisme et pour la libération animale. Il se traduit au quotidien par la non-consommation de tous produits d’origine animale et le refus de l’exploitation animale dans des domaines tels que le divertissement (cirques, zoos, monte à cheval, delphinariums, etc.), les cosmétiques, le milieu médical, l’habillement (cuir, laine, daim, soie, etc.), le commerce des animaux de compagnie, etc. Le spécisme est la discrimination fondée sur l’espèce. Par analogie avec le racisme et le sexisme, le spécisme désigne l’idéologie qui considère que la vie et les intérêts des animaux peuvent être méprisés uniquement parce qu’ils sont d’une autre espèce. Le spécisme est indéfendable car les humains ne sont pas les seuls à ressentir des émotions, et pour cette raison nous devons respecter la vie et les intérêts des autres êtres sensibles qui partagent cette planète avec nous.

  • Seaspiracy,’ the Viral New Netflix Documentary
    5 Takeaways from ‘Seaspiracy,’ the Viral New Netflix Documentary By April 15 2021 A new documentary is churning up national conversation about the environmental and ethical costs of eating fish. Seaspiracy, which debuted on March 24 and quickly became one of the most watched films on Netflix, follows filmmaker Ali Tabrizi around the world as he untangles the complex and devastating consequences of commercial fishing. The provocative documentary is the latest project from Kip Andersen, who co-produced Cowspiracy (2014) and What the Health (2017). Andersen says that as they began working on Seaspiracy, they were struck by the vast scope of industrial fishing’s impacts—not only on marine ecosystems but also potentially on the Earth’s climate, given the ocean’s key role in storing carbon. “Most of us keep the oceans out of sight, out of mind,” Andersen says, “but as [conservation activist] Paul Watson says in the film: If the ocean dies, we die.” Watch the Seaspiracy trailer below, and read on for some more key takeaways from the eye- opening new film. 1. Commercial Fishing Heavily Pollutes the Oceans with Plastic Conversation about ocean pollution has largely centered on consumer waste, particularly plastic straws. But straws account for less than 1 percent of all plastic entering the ocean. In Seaspiracy, narrator and director Tabrizi turns scrutiny toward the greatest single source of plastic in the ocean: discarded fishing gear. Fishing nets alone comprise 46 percent of the “great Pacific garbage patch.” Tabrizi notes that “longline fishing sets enough fishing lines to wrap around the entire planet 500 times every single day,” one of many staggering statistics cited in the film.
