  • Vegan-Nutrition-Guide-Jan2013.Pdf
    The Vegetarian Health Institute © 2010, All Right Reserved Introduction by Trevor Justice, Director In recent years, several vegans have gone public about adding meat back to their diets. In 2009, Lierre Keith released The Vegetarian Myth. In 2010, Voracious Vegan blogger Tasha announced that she was “a vegan no more”. And in 2011, Susan Schenck released Beyond Broccoli. They all felt that eating meat was necessary to improve their health. My heart sinks when I hear stories like this. But there’s a reason vegans fail. Our medical advisor, Michael Klaper, M.D., explains it this way: Without the right game plan for meeting your nutritional needs, a plant based diet has pitfalls. That’s why some vegans develop health problems. Getting these nutrients on a plant based diet is entirely possible for most people.1 It’s what we teach. But you can’t go about it haphazardly, like my friends and I did early on. We began attending vegan conferences 16 years ago. When the speakers touted the health benefits of veganism – with little mention of the risks – we became overconfident. After all, our risk of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart disease was dramatically lower. So surely we were invincible, right? With this false confidence, we took our health for granted. We rolled our eyes when relatives worried about us. But eventually, some of us suffered health problems. Dr. Klaper impresses me because he doesn’t just harp on the benefits of the vegan diet. (There are many!) He also acknowledges the pitfalls. In plant foods, vitamins like B12 and D are harder to find, and nutrients like iron and Vitamin A are harder to absorb.

These avenues homogenize India as ‘Bollywood’, while social and political outlets place Indians and people of South Asian descent into fitted stereotypes that are ridiculed and largely distorted. The intent of this thesis was to explore how the growing international intrigues of popular Hindi films exist beyond ‘Bollywood’.

No part of this book may be reproduced in any form, by print, photoprint, microfilm or any other me- ans, without written permissing. Deze elektronische versie van het boek “RECHT VOOR DE BEESTEN” van Michel Vandenbosch is via OCR-software tot stand ge- komen. Deze software is niet perfect. Mogelijk staan er fouten in de tekst tengevolge van het omzetten. Waarvoor mijn excuses. GAIA kan hier niet voor verantwoordelijk gesteld worden. P.W. Antwerpen, 1 juni 2002 “Recht voor de beesten” 1 © Michel Vandenbosch 1996 Recht voor de beesten In vergelijking met de bezadigde klassieke dierenbeschermingsverenigingen heeft GAIA iets van een revolutionaire beweging. Maar uitwassen in de bio-industrie, hormonenschandalen, varkenspest en dolle-koeienziekte doen wel meer mensen vragen stellen bij de manier waarop we met dieren omspringen. “Recht voor de beesten” beschrijft de achtergronden van vier jaar ophefmakende GAIA-acties. Het boek laat de diepere motieven zien van het streven van Michel Vandenbosch en GAIA naar rechtvaardigheid voor de dieren. Het idee van dierenrechten komt niet uit het niets, maar heeft solide rationeel-etische gronden. Aan de hand van wetenschappelijke studies kan Michel Vandenbosch bijvoorbeeld de irrele- vantie van veel dierproeven aantonen, het gestoord gedrag van dieren in dierentuinen aan de kaak stellen en het lijden van leghennen, varkens, kistkalveren, eenden en ganzen bijna voel- baar maken.
