Go to Dissertation Series. Studies on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy Abstract Based on a complementary mixed-methods design, the dissertation sheds light on the relationship between meat consumption practices and consumers’ socioeconomic po- sition. In a first step, two large-scale data sets, the German Einkommens- und Ver- brauchsstichprobe (EVS) 2013 and the Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP) 2016, are used to establish empirical relationships between meat consumption practices and consumers’ socioeconomic position. Education and income do not show the same effects across social groups. Income most strongly affects the meat consumption patterns of low-in- come consumers, and income effects diminish as income increases. Furthermore, in- come does not make much of a difference for consumers with low levels of education. Meat-reduced and meat-free diets are also more common among students and among self-employed persons, even after controlling for income and education. Income does not necessarily influence the amount of meat that is consumed but the type and price of the meat purchased. In a second step, data from 46 semi-structured interviews with non-vegetarian and vegetarian consumers is used to gain a profound understanding of the mechanisms behind these statistical relationships. Differences in consumption pat- terns do not result from differences in food ideals, but from different capacities for implementing dietary changes. These capacities are significantly shaped by material and non-material resources. I argue that 1) reducing consumption does not require fi- nancial resources, but voluntary meat reduction is significantly linked to financial -re sources in different ways; 2) university education is conducive to meat reduction as it fosters scientism and the ability to quickly gather and exploit new sources of informa- tion; 3) high-SES consumers value self-improvement and uniqueness which encourages dietary changes and aids in dealing with social conflict arising from such changes; 4) food neophilia is an important precondition for the adoption and maintenance of meat-reduced diets, and income and education foster food neophilia; 5) familiar foods are an important compensatory tool that offsets negative emotions arising from mate- rial scarcity, stress, and social conflict. In the last part, I show that all interviewees cat- egorize, evaluate and judge others’ food and meat consumption practices, and that these judgments have a series of intended and unintended consequences.

Bibliography 152 9 Appendix 168 4 Prologue During my Master's studies, I spent a considerable amount of time researching people's attitudes to- wards domestic and international redistribution, learned about theories of justice and fairness, and received detailed information about the history and workings of the European Union and its institu- tions. I planned to do a PhD on the emergence of authoritarian attitudes, and how they relate to different economic policy paradigms across countries. So in 2016, when the research for this disserta- tion project started, it was something completely new and unknown to me, at least theoretically. I had a strong sense of compassion for and interest in the topic since I went vegan more than three years prior to starting my PhD, and I was often accused of doing `me-search'.

It seems that the measures used to assess the carbon footprint almost always show that more intensively produced food is associated with a lower carbon footprint, which leads to a strong suspicion that many factors are not being taken into account.

In 1980, the environmental group Friends of the Earth expanded the World Health Organization definition of health, reminding citizenry that, “health is a state of complete physical, mental, social and ecological well-being and not merely the absence of disease—personal health involves planetary health”. At the same time, a small group of medical clinicians were voicing the concept of “clinical ecology”—that is, a perspective that sees illness, especially chronic illness, as a response to the total lived experience and the surroundings in which “exposures” accumulate. In parallel, other groups advanced the concept of holistic medicine. In 1977, the progressive physician-scientist Jonas Salk stated that “we are entering into a new Epoch in which holistic medicine will be the dominant model”. However, only recently have the primary messages of these mostly isolated movements merged into a unified interdisciplinary discourse.

Many of the characteristic components of the MD have functional features with positive effects on health and wellness. The MD adherence, calculated through various computational scores, can lead to a reduction of the incidence of major diseases (e.g., cancers, metabolic and cardiovascular syndromes, neurodegenerative diseases, type 2 diabetes and allergy). Furthermore, eating habits are the main significant determinants of the microbial multiplicity of the gut, and dietary components influence both microbial populations and their metabolic activities from the early stages of life.

  • In a Nutshell
    Vegetarianism in a nutshell THE BASICS: Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, and poultry. Vegans are vegetarians who abstain from eating or using all animal products, including milk, cheese, other dairy items, eggs, honey, wool, silk, or leather. Among the many reasons for being a vegetarian are health, environmental, and ethical concerns; dislike of meat; non-violent beliefs; compassion for animals; and economics. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has affirmed that a vegetarian diet can meet all known nutrient needs. The key to a healthy vegetarian diet, as with any other diet, is to eat a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Limit your intake of sweets and fatty foods. Vegan recipes inside! Making the change to a vegetarian diet Many people become vegetarian instantly. They totally give up meat, fish, and poultry overnight. Others make the change gradually. Do what works best for you. Being a vegetarian or vegan is as hard or as easy as you choose to make it. Some people enjoy planning and preparing elaborate meals, while others opt for quick and easy vegetarian dishes. What about nutrition? Sources of calcium Good sources include broc- coli, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, tofu prepared Protein Vegetarians easily meet their protein needs by with calcium, fortified soymilk, and fortified orange eating a varied diet, as long as they consume enough juice. calories to maintain their weight. It is not necessary to plan combinations of foods.

  • Beginners Guide to Being a Pescetarian
    P E S C E T A R I A N 1 0 1 a G u i d e t o B e c o m i n g P e s c e t a r i a n FOREWORD Now that our blog has been active for a little while now, Matt and I decided to create this ebook so that we could answer some of those questions that I know we had when we first became pescetarian, as well as some of the questions we’ve received from you guys on the blog and through social media. So this ebook is going to take you through some of the basics of pescetarianism, including how to nurture a healthy pescetarian diet and how to shop for fish and seafood in a sustainable way. We’ve even included a few of our favourite recipes to help you get started! What is a Pescetarian? Quite simply, a pescetarian is someone who eats fish and seafood, but no other meat. Pescetarians do eat dairy products, such as milk and cheese, in addition to vegetables, nuts pulses and fruit. The term pescetarian comes from “pesce” which is the Italian word for fish and whilst the term has been around for a number of years (it found its way into the dictionary in 1993) it has only become widely known and heard in the last 5 years or so. Why We Became Pescetarians Laura: I’ve tried loads of different diets over the years. I grew up eating meat, however in my adolescence and adulthood I tried being both vegetarian and vegan before settling on being a pescetarian.

  • Sustain Sewanee Newsletter Written by Kristina Romanenkova '23
    SLOW DOWN, FAST FASHION! Sustainability Month continues with Sustainable Fashion Week. This week, the conversation will be centered around fast fashion and its environmental impact. Our friends at OCCU are planning a discussion on that topic which will highlight different perspectives on fast fashion alongside the potential ways in which our society can make a transition to a more sustainable fashion without compromising one's sense of style. Keep an eye on OCCU's social media for updates! P.S. I thought the picture above would be a perfect illustration for the throwaway fashion culture: what the pretty lady is wearing today will end up on a landfill tomorrow together with other pieces of evidence denouncing our consumerism. MAKING AN EASY AUTUMN COLLAGE The leaves on the trees are beginning to change colors to deep auburn, rich crimson, and dazzling yellow, and fall to the ground. One can lovingly take them out of the nutrient cycle and immortalize their fading beauty in a collage. Follow the 4 step guide found below to frame your own piece of autumn. LEARN HOW TO MAKE ONE SPOTLIGHT We've heard about the harmful effects of fast fashion on the environment and communities: greenhouse and noxious gas emissions, water pollution, poor work conditions of the industry workers, and tons of waste in landfills. It is time to ask the question, How can we dress sustainably? Another, question is, How can cultural venues and the entertainment industry be sustainable in terms of fashion? Greer King, a college senior who creates costumes for the theater, is a person who has long been concerned about these issues.
