Health Save Movement HEALTH SAVE MOVEMENT GUIDEBOOK The following is the information needed for creating a Health Save Chapter. Please give it a mindful read and we will talk afterwards for any questions you may have. Thank you for your interest in joining The Health Save Movement. HOW TO START A HEALTH SAVE CHAPTER: STEP BY STEP 1. Read the HSM Guidebook 2. Think of interventions 3. Think of possible activists/allies 4. Set a day and time for a video-call 5. Have your first team meeting; you’re officially a Health Save Chapter! 1. READ THE HEALTH SAVE MOVEMENT GUIDEBOOK This guidebook includes a description of HSM’s mission, goals and interventions. Please give it a dedicated read, and if any information leaves doubt write them down so we can solve them by chat or on a video-call later on. Please also read The Save Movement’s Code of Conduct and Memorandum of Understanding. 2. THINK OF ACTIONS The guidebook includes a description of different interventions; you can choose one or several of them, as well as new ideas that you may have for innovative interventions, given they align with The Save Movement’s Code of Conduct and Memorandum of Understanding. 3. THINK OF POSSIBLE ACTIVISTS/ALLIES Team-work is a key to any successful team. Think of other activists you know, or other people that might help, build a team that can work together to achieve your chapter’s objectives. Put them in knowledge of HSM, our mission and why you think we should work together. 4. SET A DAY AND TIME FOR A VIDEO CALL After you’ve read the guidebook and solved your doubts via chat, let’s have a video call. Bring any further questions you may have, we can provide any further assistance you may need, and work out any details. We will also provide further tips and information for guidance. 5. HAVE YOUR FIRST TEAM MEETING Have a meeting to discuss your team’s building and future interventions. TSM supports team working that involves relationships based in love and respect, open to new ideas and activists willing to participate. We suggest responsibilities are divided and decisions are made as a team effort. Have a review of the guidebook, and plan for your first and future interventions. Think of what the team’s strategy can be, and of other valuable team members you could recruit. Agree on how you can work together to make a better world. Let’s set up a follow up call to see how you are doing; welcome to The Save Movement, you are officially a Health Save Chapter! MISSION STATEMENT The Health Save Movement’s mission is to promote a plant-based diet as the main strategy to solve the epidemic of non-communicable diseases of present time, and recognizing its capacity to help solve other pressing issues. By communicating to the public its power to prevent disease and improve their health, and also working closely with public officers and the private sector, HSM aims to make a plant based diet more accessible for every member of the community. The medical community currently recognizes unhealthy diets as the number one risk factor for disease, with an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart-disease and cancer affecting great part of the world’s population. This is an issue that must be addressed, as it comprises the health and well-being of millions of people all over the world, diminishing their opportunities of personal development and their pursuit of happiness. Scientific research has shown that a plant-based diet is not only healthy for every stage of life but is also effective in preventing, stopping and reversing some of the most pressing and deadly diseases of current time, and we make it our mission to bring this solution close and available for everyone. HSM is compromised to give control over their health back to the people, by informing them of the benefits a plant-based diet has to offer, but also of the positive impact that switching to a plant-based centered food system could offer. This would require less land and water use, less deforestation, less air, water and land pollution, and less greenhouse gas emissions, at the same time a bigger amount of food could be produced. All of these have a great impact on the well-being of present time and future inhabitants of The Earth. GOALS 1. To raise awareness in the general public about the health benefits of plant-based diet, increase its acceptance and adherence. 2. To create public regulation that makes a plant-based diet more available to the general public. 3. To create corporate policy that makes the plant-based diet more available to the general public. 4. To provide a love-based community network for activists looking to work together on this issue, build capacities and join efforts to maximize the effectiveness of our actions. 5. To build alliances with other activist organizations working on this issue.

A vegan diet contains no animal products or by-products. This includes the obvious items such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy and honey, but vegans also avoid hidden animal ingredients such as gelatin, cochineal and rennet. So, what do vegans eat?! The answer to that is: the same as everyone else, they just choose plant-based versions. For almost every animal-derived ingredient and product, there is now a vegan alternative. There are cheeses, milks, yogurts and ice creams, sausages, bacon and pepperoni. There are even steaks and burgers that look, taste and feel like meat but are made entirely from plants. All of these delicious and convenient products - and more - mean we need to make only small changes in our diet to create a huge difference in the world.

Heroes are often nothing more than ordinary people who perform extraordinary acts, and the mark of those heroes is not the result of their actions, but the simple fact that they have chosen to willingly serve others &/or their cause. Indeed, even if they completely fail in their attempts, the purity of their intention and the durability of their determination still shines on for others to follow.

  • Is It Bittersweet to Eat Meat?
    Is it bittersweet to eat meat? How young, single Norwegian adults feel about eating meat, and their intention to eat less Sofie Tellefsen Holm Submitted as a Master Thesis in Community Psychology Department of Psychology University of Oslo May 2018 I II III © Author Year: 2018 Title: Is it bittersweet to eat meat? How young, single Norwegian adults feel about eating meat, and their intention to eat less Author: Sofie Tellefsen Holm http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo IV Abstract The purpose of the current thesis was to explore meat induced cognitive dissonance in a population of young, single Norwegian adults. This was examined by conducting 12 semi- structured interviews adressing three research questions: Is cognitive dissonance experienced? If yes, how is it described, and how is it dealt with? Thematic analysis showed that single adult Norwegians do experience cognitive dissonance related to eating meat, however not to an extent where it is experienced as very problematic. The conflict was induced by knowing that meat eating negatively impacts the environment, concerns about animal welfare, and as a result of making the animal-meat connection. Behavioural changes and managing attitudes were mechanisms used to deal with the cognitive dissonance. A quantitative Pilot Study was designed to test how well Theory of Planned behaviour predicts people’s meat eating intentions, and how well it explains cognitive dissonance in meat eaters. Based on data from the Pilot Study, habit strength, knowledge, and outcome expectancies were added as dependent variables for Study 1. Study 1 adressed two research questions: (1) How can we predict people’s meat eating behaviours from their intentions and what determines these intentions?, and (2) How can we understand the intention-behaviour gap with regard to meat eating, i.e.
