  • A History of Veganism from 1806
    1 World Veganism – past, present, and future By John Davis, former IVU Manager and Historian A collection of blogs © John Davis 2010-12 Introduction This PDF e-book is about 8mb, 219 pages A4, (equivalent to 438 page paperback book), so I strongly recommend that you save a copy to your own disk, then open it in the Adobe Acrobat Reader. That way, you won’t have to download it all again if you want to read more of it sometime later. Creating this as a PDF e-book has several advantages, especially if you are reading this on a device connected to the internet. 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.

  • The Role(S) of ICT in Vegan Practice Transformation
    sustainability Article Going Vegan: The Role(s) of ICT in Vegan Practice Transformation Dennis Lawo * , Margarita Esau , Philip Engelbutzeder and Gunnar Stevens Information Systems, University of Siegen, 57068 Siegen, Germany; [email protected] (M.E.); [email protected] (P.E.); [email protected] (G.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 June 2020; Accepted: 23 June 2020; Published: 25 June 2020 Abstract: With the debate on climate change, topics of diet change and the reduction of animal products have become increasingly important in both public and academic discourses. However, sustainable ICT studies have so far focused on individual aspects, in particular investigating the criticized persuasive design approach. We argue for a broader perspective on the role(s) of ICT, one that helps in identifying opportunities to support consumer practice transformation, beyond motivational aspects. Based on retrospective interviews with 16 vegans, we argue to understand practice transformation as co-evolution of practices and ICT artefacts, as this perspective helps to understand how tensions arising from complex entanglements of practices, socio-material contexts, and communities can be resolved. Rather than a motivational process, we observe various roles of ICT artefacts co-evolving with practices: Ranging from initial irritation, to access to information about vegan practices, to the learning of vegan food literacy, to the negotiation of a vegan identity, and vegan norms at the intersection of the ‘odd’ and the ‘norm’. Keywords: vegan; practice theory; co-evolution; ICT; consumer informatics; sustainability; design 1. Introduction “A shift in the social norm of meat consumption is a transition that is repeatedly called for in climate change policy discourse.

Eine vegane Ernährung enthält keine tierischen Produkte oder Nebenprodukte. Dazu gehören offensichtliche Dinge wie Fleisch, Fisch, Eier, Milch und Honig, aber die meisten Veganerinnen und Veganer vermeiden auch versteckte tierische Zutaten wie Gelatine oder Lab. Was essen vegan lebende Menschen denn nun stattdessen? Die Antwort ist einfach: Genau das gleiche wie alle anderen auch, nur eben die pflanzliche Alternative davon. Für fast alle tierischen Inhaltsstoffe und Produkte gibt es nämlich mittlerweile vegane Alternativen. Es gibt veganen Käse, Milch, Joghurt und Eis, Würstchen, Salami und Speck. Es gibt sogar Steaks und Burger, die wie Fleisch aussehen, schmecken und sich anfühlen, aber ausschließlich aus Pflanzen hergestellt werden. All diese leckeren Produkte finden sich mittlerweile in vielen Supermarktketten, Discountern und Restaurants – was bedeutet, dass wir nur kleine Veränderungen in unserer Ernährung vornehmen müssen, um einen großen Unterschied in der Welt zu schaffen. Nicht zu vergessen sind die 20.000 essbaren Pflanzen auf der Welt, die uns ein überwältigendes Sortiment an Gemüse, Getreide, Obst, Gewürzen, Nüssen, Hülsenfrüchten und Knollen bieten.
