The Modern Consumer an Insight Into the Preferences for Veganism and Effort in Food Consumption of the Modern Consumer
ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM Erasmus School of Economics Bachelor Thesis (Marketing) The Modern Consumer An Insight Into the Preferences for Veganism and Effort in Food Consumption of the Modern Consumer Name: Christiaan de Jager Student number: 409275 Date: 09-07-2018 Index Introduction 2 Literature review Veganism 3 Convenience Food (Effort) 4 Methodology 5 Data Data Collection 7 Variables 8 Descriptive Statistics 8 Results Attribute Significance 9 Interaction Effects 10 Effect Marginals 13 Utility Profiler 14 Discussion 15 Limitations 17 Managerial Implications 17 Conclusion 18 Further Research 18 References 20 Appendix 21 1 Introduction In recent years, veganism has seen a tremendous growth in popularity. The numbers speak for themselves; consumption of meat-substitutes in the Netherlands increased 17% in 2017 as opposed to the year before, while at the same time retail sales of meat dropped with 1,7% (Knippenberg. 2018). The same goes for plant-based dairy substitutes, of which sales have increased with 6,6% over the same period, while dairy consumption has gone down 1,3%. People are adopting a vegan diet for various reasons, ranging from health associated to ethically based ones. Important influencers, like world famous musicians Beyoncé and Drake and world famous chefs Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, are promoting a vegan diet on their social media and thereby spreading the word about it. Companies are adapting to this growing trend, to make sure they hop on the bandwagon as soon as possible, like Ben & Jerry’s, who have recently released three non-dairy flavors ice creams alongside their regular flavors. Restaurant chains are of course also adapting to this development, like Vapiano, who have added a number of vegan options to their otherwise dairy- and meat-heavy menu, just like both Domino’s Pizza and New York Pizza are now selling multiple vegan pizza varieties. -

The Assimilation of Tikkun Olam Levi Cooper 1. An elusive term 2. Liturgy 3. Legislation 4. Mysticism 5. Political involvement, social justice, activism 6. Banner for liberal American Jewry 7. American value 8. Imported ideal 9. Expanding the umbrella 10. Critique of the catch-all 11. How to repair the world Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2385947 The Assimilation of Tikkun Olam Levi Cooper1 “Tikkun olam” is most commonly heard as a slogan for activism, political involvement, and social justice. The term has had numerous lives, such that its endurance and malleability over time are truly impressive. It has been used as a pliable legislative justification for changing specific laws and as an eschatological ideal that may describe a human process or the divine end. It has had practical implications for some, and mystical connotations for others. In the twentieth century the term tikkun olam has been used in reference to Jewish political involvement, or to argue for abstinence from any political participation whatsoever. More recently it has become a banner, bandied around for almost any value, including energy conservation, recycling, government health care packages, the fight against terrorism, better nutrition, looking after stray animals, and the list goes on. This paper will touch on the main waystations of the term, starting with a brief look at the term’s etymology, and journeying from rabbinic literature to modern times. This whistle stop tour will provide an overview of the vicissitudes of the term tikkun olam, and will demonstrate how it has come to connote a disparate array of values. -

Strangers, Immigrants and the Eglah Arufah
SHMULY YANKLOWITZ Strangers, Immigrants and the Eglah Arufah Responsibility to the Stranger THE JEWISH TRADITION places a strong emphasis on our duties towards the stranger. The Rabbis returned repeatedly to the injunction “you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt”.1 Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch elabo- rated on this teaching, explaining that there are no preconditions for receiv- ing basic rights other than being human: You shall not wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Here it says simply and absolutely, “for you were strangers,” your whole misfortune in Egypt was that you were strangers there. As such, according to the views of other nations, you had no right to be there, had no claim to rights of settlement, home, or property. Accordingly, you had no rights in appeal against unfair or unjust treatment. As aliens you were without any rights in Egypt, out of that grew all of your bondage and oppression, your slav- ery and wretchedness. Therefore beware, so runs the warning, from making rights in your own State conditional on anything other than on that simple humanity which every human being as such bears within. With any limita- tion in these human rights the gate is opened to the whole horror of Egyptian mishandling of human beings.2 Rabbi Hirsch went further, noting the central role of the treatment of strangers to a just society: Twenty-four times, whenever, and in every case, where the Torah lays RABBI DR. -

Why are Europeans vegan? What do the Swiss fry up in their pans and which products land in the shopping carts of Portugal? Does the recent climate debate have an effect on what food people buy? And to what extent do vegans differ from omnivores when it comes to their daily dietary choices? Questions upon questions that have been swirling around in our brains for a while now. Questions we finally have answers to. Answers that show and help us understand what motivates people in Europe to make certain decisions in front of their supermarket shelves and what influences or moves them. How did we arrive at these answers? On the occasion of World Vegan Day 2019, we decided to conduct a Europe-wide online survey. In order to provide a comparison of results, country of origin and the test person’s diet choices played a major role. We also wanted to dig a bit deeper into the subject matter and so, in addition to the classic questions regarding nutri- tion and food purchases, we asked each participant about their attitudes on environmental protection, health, etc. This is how we found out that, for example, 86 % of European vegans said they consider sustainability and environmental protection very important when purcha- sing food – 13 % more than the people who do not eat a purely plant-based diet. -

Are Vegan Diets a Better Alternative to Meat Eating?
Are vegan diets a better alternative to meat eating? What they said ‘The number of animals that die to produce vegan food is astonishing’ Matthew Evans, former chef and food critic ‘Around two-thirds of all farm animals are factory farmed worldwide every year. This is nearly 50 billion animals’ Animal welfare group, Compassion in World Farming The issue at a glance On November 1, 2019, Vegan Australia announced that over 500 Australian food and other products had passed its strict certification criteria to be able to use the Vegan Australia Certified logo. The organisation further announced that these products now include Vegemite. Vegan Australia stated, ‘We're excited that Vegemite has approached Vegan Australia to be certified, ensuring that their customers and the estimated 500,000 vegans who live in Australia know that Vegemite meets the high standards set by Vegan Australia.’ In order to achieve such a certification, the item must be free from animal products, not tested on animals and have been made without using animal products in the production process. The organisation went on to claim, ‘Research conducted by Roy Morgan has found…the trend in vegetarian eating continues to [be growing], with 2.5 million people in Australia (12.1 percent of the population) now eating all or almost all vegetarian. That's an additional 400,000 individuals choosing meat-free meals in Australia since 2016.’ https://www.veganaustralia.org.au/vegemite_now_vegan_certified As part of the growing adoption of vegan foods, there has been a significant increase in the production and consumption of synthetic meat products which use plant protein in a way which simulates the taste, texture and appearance of meat products derived from animals. -

“I Consider It an Honor and a Mitzvah to Commend Professor Richard
“I consider it an honor and a mitzvah to commend Professor Richard Schwartz’s work and all his endeavors to bring Jewish teachings on diet, health, the environment, and related issues to public attention, especially to those of us who seek to lead a religiously observant lifestyle, in keeping with the precepts and goals of the Torah. May his efforts merit Divine blessing and success.”—Rabbi David Rosen, Former Chief Rabbi of Ireland; President for Israel of the International Jewish Vegetarian Society “Few books have ever been more timely or more needed than this one. Humankind stands on the brink of one of the greatest catastrophes in history and, once again, Richard Schwartz has rallied to the cause. Proving himself to be the true tzadik that he is, he addresses issues that will help humanity face a future too ghastly to contemplate if we do not immediately do something to curb the coming cataclysm. And it all starts at a very simple place . on our dinner plates!”—Lionel Friedberg, film producer, director, cinematographer, and writer of many documentaries, including A Sacred Duty: Applying Jewish Values to Help Heal the World “I applaud Richard Schwartz’s valiant efforts to raise the issue of a plant- based diet within the Jewish community. He taps into a millennia-old Jewish tradition supporting compassion toward animals, and does so at a time when all life on Earth depends on wise human action. He thoughtfully examines what type of food consumption fits with the ethics of kosher, which means appropriate. May God bless his holy efforts!”—Rabbi Yonatan Neril, Founder and Executive Director of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development and of Jewish Eco Seminars “Once again Richard Schwartz has produced a thought-provoking book.
