  • Veganism, Plant-Based Diets and Eating Disorders
    8/22/2017 1. Define the various diets under a vegetarian umbrella (vegan, raw, plant-based, semi- vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian, flexitarian) 2. Identify three reasons one might choose these diet patterns 3. List three nutrients of concern in a plant- based diet 4. Discuss three ways to work with plant- based eating disorder clients 2 ▪ Vegetarianism: a diet “that does not include meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing those foods” ▪ Lacto-ovo-vegetarianism: a diet “based on grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy products, and eggs” ▪ Lacto-vegetarianism: a diet which “excludes eggs as well as meat, fish, and fowl” ▪ Veganism (total vegetarianism): a diet which “excludes eggs, dairy, and other animal products” (ADA 2009) 3 1 8/22/2017 ▪ Pescatarian: does not include meat (including fowl) but does contain seafood ▪ Flexitarian: Eats all foods, but ‘wakes up with the intention of being vegetarian’ ▪ Meat Minimalist: Conscious effort to reduce animal protein intake ▪ Plant-Based: diet based on foods derived from plants, including vegetables, whole grains, legumes and fruits, but with few or no animal products. ▪ Raw: uncooked, unprocessed, mostly organic foods. Some eat unpasteurized dairy foods, raw eggs, meat, and fish. Your food can be cold or even a little bit warm, as long as it doesn't go above 118 degrees. ▪ Raw Vegan: does not include raw eggs, meat, fish or dairy-products. 4 ▪ Ethical (non-violence) ▪ Ethical (food production) ▪ Environmental ▪ Religious ▪ Health ▪ Economic 5 ▪ Orthorexia Nervosa: “an unhealthy obsession with otherwise healthy eating. Literally means ‘fixation on righteous eating’. Orthorexia [can] start out as an innocent attempt to eat more healthfully, but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity” (Kratina 2016).

The religious reasons for vegetarianism vary from sparing animals from suffering to maintaining one's spiritual purity. In Christianity and Islam, vegetarianism has not been a mainstream practice although some, especially mystical, sects have practiced it.

  • Vegetarianism and Macrobiotics Annemarie Colbin, MA, CHES
    1 January 2002 Volume 2, No. 1 Overview of Two Popular Diets: Vegetarianism and Macrobiotics Annemarie Colbin, MA, CHES Vegetarian/Vegan diet Background Vegetarian diets eschew foods that entail the killing of animals. While anthropological studies have not discovered any fully vegetarian natural societies (DeVries 1952; Farb and Armelagos 1980), adherents of various religions and spiritual practices have adopted vegetarian eating styles for many centuries, going as far back as Pythagoras in Europe (Barkas 1975), and even further in other cultures such as India (Swoboda 1992). The following concerns are among the major reasons why people choose a vegetarian eating style (Barkas 1975): a) spiritual or philosophical, b) moral or ethical, c) ecological d) health or nutritional The first two ignore individual health concerns; ecological eating pays some attention to it, as well as to the health of the planet as a whole. A 1999 review of two surveys, conducted in the Boston area 25 years apart, found that while health is an important motivation for adopting a vegetarian diet, there are also ethical, spiritual, and philosophical reasons for doing so (Kim et alet al 1999).et al It has been postulated that people choose their diets to harmonize with their self- perception and their view of the world. One study found striking differences between vegetarians and omnivores (Allen et al, 2000). The omnivores valued logic, authority, responsibility, and social power, whereas the vegetarians valued intellectualism, happiness, peace, equality, social justice, and love. 2 Variations on the theme of vegetarian diets This author has found that vegetarian diets may include the following: I.

  • Christianity and Vegetarianism 1809 – 2009
    EDEN’S DIET: CHRISTIANITY AND VEGETARIANISM 1809 – 2009 by SAMANTHA JANE CALVERT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The vegetarian teachings of the Salvation Army, Quakers, the Seventh Day Adventists and other Christian groups have been largely neglected by academics. This study takes a prosopographical approach to the development of modern Christian vegetarianism across a number of Christian vegetarian sects, and some more mainstream traditions, over a period of two centuries. The method allows for important points of similarity and difference to be noted among these groups’ founders and members. This research contributes particularly to radical Christian groups’ place in the vegetarian movement’s modern history. This study demonstrates how and why Christian vegetarianism developed in the nineteenth century and to what extent it influenced the secular vegetarian movement and wider society. It contextualizes nineteenth-century Christian vegetarianism in the wider movement of temperance, and considers why vegetarianism never made inroads into mainstream churches in the way that the temperance movement did.

  • Vegan Menu As a Decisive Factor When Booking a Cruise Through the Baltic Sea
    VEGAN MENU AS A DECISIVE FACTOR WHEN BOOKING A CRUISE THROUGH THE BALTIC SEA Manuela Barrero Toral Bachelor’s thesis April 2016 Degree Programme in Tourism ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Tourism BARRERO TORAL, MANUELA: Vegan Menu as a Decisive Factor when Booking a Cruise through the Baltic Sea Bachelor's thesis 49 pages, appendices 3 pages April 2016 Food is an elemental part of life. People need food in order to obtain energy and to be able to perform on a daily basis. However, food has become more than the source of energy nowadays. The selection of food consumed by people is in some cases very re- stricted, especially for vegans. Vegans limit their diets, excluding animal products from their meals, which in some cases leads to a very small selection and options, or in some cases to the inclusion of animal product in meals. There are many and various reasons why a person decides to become a vegan. Some people are concerned about animal rights, other have religious or ethical reasons, or even health reasons. The Baltic Sea is one of the favourite destinations for quick trips inside the Baltic coun- tries area. It is accessible and affordable. It is possible to travel to other countries in less than 24 hours, at an economic price. In all cases there is a food catering service availa- ble on board. Nevertheless, the range of options for vegans is almost absent. In the best case scenario, vegetarian meals can be found on the menu. However, this limited offer puts the traveller in a non-comfortable situation: Should the traveller change his/her lifestyle and ethics, or other motivations to eat vegan food because the food offer does not count with vegan tourists.

  • Vegetarianism and Veganism: Not Only Benefits but Also Gaps
    Progress in Nutrition 2017; Vol. 19, N. 3: 229-242 DOI: 10.23751/pn.v19i3.5229 © Mattioli 1885 Reviews Vegetarianism and veganism: not only benefits but also gaps. A review Alessandra Petti1, Beniamino Palmieri1, Maria Vadalà1, Carmen Laurino1, 2 1Surgical, Medical, Dental and Morphological Sciences Departments with interest in Transplants, Oncology and Regenerative Medicine, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy; 2 Second Opinion Medical Network, Modena, Italy - E-mail: [email protected] Summary. Background and aim of the work. The main Food Choice Motives (FCMs) of vegetarianism and ve- ganism are supported by ethical, health, ecological and pleasure motivations, but also family and cultural tra- ditions play a definite role. A better health achievement is usually the first goal of turning vegetarians, on the reports that ischemic heart, circulatory and cerebrovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and some cancer were significantly lower in vegetarians and vegans than in omnivores. In this review, we investigate the main rea- sons that lead to the choice of an increasingly common lifestyle, such as vegetarianism and veganism and the pros & cons of this choice. Methods. We reviewed studies focused on vegetarian and vegan diets, and included articles published between 1975 and 2015. We searched Pubmed/Medline using the terms “vegetarianism”, “veganism”, “benefits” and “diseases”, alone or combined. This review aims at describing vegetarian and vegan diets, discussing current knowledge about motivations for pursuing this diet, clinical benefits and limitations. Results. Vegetarian and vegan diets are low in n-3 PUFA, proteins, calcium, zinc, iron, vitamins B12 and D. Conclusions. Different guidelines for vegetarian and especially vegan diets have been settled based on the need to fortify foods with molecules that are reduced or missing in these diets.

  • Veggie” Are to Be Free of Meat Acquired from the Slaughter of an Animal and All of Its By-Products
    Vegetarian Labeling Suggested Standards for Labeling Vegetarian Options University of Toronto, St. George Campus © 2013, Food Services, St. George Campus, University of Toronto 1 1. Introduction: Defining Vegetarian A vegetarian is a person who chooses to eat a diet of mainly vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, legumes and seeds with or without eggs and dairy products, and refrains from eating any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish (Vegetarian Society). An individual may choose to follow a vegetarian diet because of concerns about health, animal rights, and environmental responsibility; or for religious reasons. The most common vegetarian diet, known as “ovo-lacto vegetarianism”, incorporates animal products that are not the result of slaughter, such as milk and eggs. Other subdivisions of the vegetarian diet include: • Lacto-vegetarianism: permits the consumption of milk and dairy products but excludes eggs and other animal products resulting from slaughter. Lacto- vegetarians refrain from eating cheeses that contain animal rennet and gelatin (both products of animal slaughter). • Ovo-vegetarianism: permits the consumption of eggs but excludes dairy products, such as milk and cheese and other animal products resulting from slaughter. Food Services at University of Toronto’s St. George Campus defines a vegetarian diet as “ovo-lacto vegetarian” - a diet that includes vegetables, fruits, seeds, grains and nuts in addition to eggs, honey and dairy products, provided they do not contain by-products of slaughtered animals. 2. Guidelines for Vegetarian Safe Food The vegetarian label is intended to certify that foods are vegetarian as per the definition above, in addition to complying with the following guidelines: All foods labeled as vegetarian or “Veggie” are to be free of meat acquired from the slaughter of an animal and all of its by-products.

For example: - in the blog about interviews on SMTV, just click on the links to watch the videos - in the bibliography click to read a complete scan of an original very old book. - on the contents page click a link to go direct to any item, then click ‘back to top’. - you can also, of course, use other features such as search, zoom etc. etc. - a great advance on printed books… It should work on any device, though an ipad/tablet is ideal for this as there are lots of big colour photos, or on smart-phones try rotating for best results, on a larger computer monitor try view/page display/two up, to read it like a book. The blogs were posted weekly from February 2010 to December 2012 and each is self- contained, with the assumption that readers might not have seen any of the others. So feel free to start anywhere, and read them in any order, no need to read from the beginning.

    Plant-based diets Health Engagement and Wellness Services A whole-food, plant-based diet is based on minimally processed vegetables, tubers, whole grains, legumes, fruits, nuts, and seeds. It generally does not include animal-based foods, such as red meat, chicken, fish, dairy, and eggs. It also usually excludes highly processed foods such as white (or enriched) flours and most added sweeteners.
