Full textAbstract:
This article seeks to elevate contemporary Jain voices calling for the adoption of a vegan lifestyle as a sign of solidarity with the transnational vegan movement and its animal rights, environmental protection, and health aspirations. Just as important, however, this article also seeks to present some of the unique features of contemporary Jain veganism, including, most specifically, Jain veganism as an ascetic practice aimed at the embodiment of non-violence (ahiṃsā), the eradication (nirjarā) of karma, and the liberation (mokṣa) of the Self (jīva). These are distinctive features of Jain veganism often overlooked and yet worthy of our attention. We begin the article with a brief discussion of transnational veganism and Jain veganism’s place within this global movement. This is followed by an overview of Jain karma theory as it appears in the Tattvārtha Sūtra, an authoritative diasporic Jain text. Next, we present two case studies of contemporary Jain expressions of veganism: (1) The UK-based organization known as “Jain Vegans” and (2) The US-based organization known as “Vegan Jains”. Both organizations have found new opportunities in transnational veganism to practice and embody the virtue of ahiṃsā as well as Jain karma theory. As we will show, though both organizations share the animal, human, and environmental protection aspirations found in transnational veganism, Jain Vegans and Vegan Jains simultaneously promote ahiṃsā to varying degrees in service of the Jain path to liberation. We conclude the article with a brief reconsideration of Marcus Banks’s diasporic “three tendencies” model to demonstrate how contemporary manifestations of Jain veganism compel us to revisit our understanding of diasporic expressions of Jain religious belief and praxis.

Full textAbstract:
Plant-based diets are often perceived as being antithetical to Indigenous interests in what is today colonially known as Canada. This perceived antithesis hinges on veganism's rejection of the consumption of animals. This apparent antithesis, however, is a misperception that a reframing of ethical veganism can help correct. This article argues that veganism's objection to dairy should be underscored as a central concern of ethical veganism. Such emphasis not only brings into view the substantial alignment between plant-based diets and Indigenous worldviews, but also highlights the related goals of decolonization and reconciliation in Canada. Veganism, in reality, rejects a practice (dairy farming) that was constitutive of settler colonialism in North America and which still promotes colonial familial ideologies while constructing Indigenous peoples and other non-Europeans (who disproportionately cannot tolerate lactose) as abnormal. Veganism – along with vegetarianism – shares the general respect for animals and interspecies relations (along with a concomitant disavowal of human exceptionalism) that many Indigenous legal orders in Canada promote. Yet, despite this shared disavowal of a principal colonial ideology, the tight correlation between hunting and Indigeneity on the one hand, and veganism and vegetarianism and an objection to killing animals on the other, makes veganism's contributions to decolonization and reconciliation difficult to see. By framing veganism as a critique of the dairy industry, however, the associations that veganism has with decolonizing ends are not clouded by these overpowering correlations, helping to bring into view even vegetarianism's contributions toward these ends.

Full textAbstract:
Veganism is the subject of an increasingly diverse body of social scientific research, yet it remains relatively understudied in geography. Meanwhile, contemporary cultural commentaries note how veganism has gone mainstream, with critics warning of veganism’s corporate nature – expressed in the rise of what we term ‘Big Veganism’. We argue that food geographers are well placed to examine these trends. We first review vegan studies work beyond geography that examines and critiques the mainstreaming of veganism. We focus on literature that explores multiple contested modes of veganism, veganism as praxis in place and the rise of corporate veganism as useful foundations for geographers to build on, particularly in light of currently unfolding developments in vegan cultures and practice. Taking this work forward, we identify four conceptual traditions from research in food geographies – following foodways, alternative food networks and the cultural and material politics of eating – to develop a ‘vegan food geographies’ programme that aims to advance critical geographic work on veganism and the emerging implications of its contemporary mainstreaming.

Full textAbstract:
Veganism has enjoyed increasing popularity and more sustained scholarly attention during the past several years. Using insights from cultural theory, this study conducts a qualitative discourse analysis of two vegan-promoting documentary films: Forks over Knives (2011) and Vegucated (2010). Each of these popular vegan-promoting films renders a different portrait of vegans and advances distinct motivations for the adoption of a vegan lifestyle. Forks over Knives promotes health veganism rooted in scientific arguments about the dietary benefits of veganism. By contrast, Vegucated promotes holistic veganism that, while encompassing personal health benefits, also promotes animal rights advocacy and environmental consciousness. These competing portrayals reveal an important fissure line within veganism, one that may have implications for the growth of this movement. Veganism is a distinctive second-order subculture situated within the broader vegetarian subculture. However, veganism maintains cultural relevance by drawing on quintessentially American discourses of individualism, science, healthy living, and environmental awareness.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractA common and convincing argument for the moral requirement of veganism is based on the widespread, severe, and unnecessary harm done to animals, the environment, and humans by the practices of animal agriculture. If this harm footprint argument succeeds in showing that producing and consuming animal products is morally impermissible, then parallel harm footprint arguments show that a vast array of modern practices are impermissible. On this first horn of the dilemma, by engaging in these practices, vegans are living immorally by their own lights. This first horn can be avoided by assuming that morality requires not minimizing harm, but only keeping the harm of our actions within some budget. On the second horn, however, we recognize that there are many ways of keeping our harm footprints within budget other than through our dietary choices. On the second horn of the vegan's dilemma, therefore, veganism is not a moral requirement.

AbstractObjective:The study aimed to evaluate the homocysteine and cobalamin status of German vegans and determine whether the intake of very small amounts of foods of animal origin can improve this status.Design and setting:Cross-sectional study, Germany.Subjects:The dietary and nutritional intakes of 131 vegans (73 women, 58 men; a range: 20.2–82.1 years) were evaluated using a general questionnaire and two food–frequency questionnaires.Results:The prevalence of inadequate cobalamin status in volunteers of the German Vegan Study was 28.2%, and that of hyperhomocysteinaemia, 38.1%. Moderate vegans were affected to a lesser extent than were strict vegans. Duration of veganism and cobalamin concentration were inversely correlated (Spearman'sr= -0.175,P= 0.047). Folate concentration and erythrocyte aspartic acid aminotransferase activity were not correlated with plasma homocysteine concentration, but duration of veganism correlated positively with homocysteine concentration (Spearman'sr= 0.319,P< 0.001). Cobalamin and homocysteine concentrations were inversely correlated (when controlling for duration of veganism;r= -0.602,P< 0.001).Conclusion:Cobalamin status needs to be improved in order to minimise the risk of hyperhomocysteinaemia.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines and analyzes the credibility and utility of the critique of veganism as a privileged lifestyle, both by those inside and by those outside the vegan community. Using the theory of intersectionality, I explain that the concept of vegan privilege is vague and lacks contextualization. I propose that veganism itself is not a privilege, but rather the ability to make food choices is ultimately the privilege. In addition, I argue that allegations of “vegan privilege” conceal and reinforce the cultural invisibility of speciesism and carnism. Although the ultimate mission of veganism is to eradicate animal exploitation, vegans must understand the animals are not the only ones that suffer. The structural and interactional process of “mindless eating” exploits both consumers and workers. I conclude by encouraging vegans and carnists alike to expand the circle of compassion and to understand the human costs of the capitalist industrial food complex.

Full textAbstract:
Global warming and the necessity to reduce carbon emissions have introduced plant-based diets and veganism into academic and general discussion. Previous studies analyzed vegan consumption practices as central to leading such a lifestyle, but these studies focused on the material dimension of vegan consumption and not on the cognitive strategies involved in food choices. The purpose of this research was to analyze the cognitive and practical strategies used by vegans in adopting non-animal food consumption. For this purpose, the study examined biographic interviews with young vegans in Santiago, Chile. The results showed that adopting veganism implies a new social identity that redefines the edible/inedible categories. To maintain their identity, vegans must control their eating and make it reflexive. The establishment of new eating practices, based on individual and peer learning, facilitates their daily food choices, although reflexivity will always be present. This work contributes to a new understanding of the consumption of plant-based foods, showing that veganism involves the adoption of new food classifications and reflexive routines.

Full textAbstract:
The interest in vegetarianism and veganism is increasing and the dietary option of abstaining from animal food products is currently a widely discussed and social relevant issue.The present study aims to provide a quantitative overview of the vegan diet, particularly the sociological aspects related to adoption, maintenance and obstacles connected with this diet. A web-based survey was conducted on facebook groups related tovegetarianism and veganism. 8531 participants (86.3% females) answered the survey, from those 6761 were vegan. Moral/ethical, animal and environmental protection, and health benefits seem to be the main reasons to adopt a vegan diet. Furthermore, demographic factors seem to have an effect on both the adoption and maintenance of a vegan diet. Younger participants appear to put more relevance on ethical/moral reasons, environmental and animal protection for adopting and maintaining a vegan diet. Living in a vegan household suggests less perceived difficulties and obstacles to the maintenance of a vegan diet and highers the relevance of moral/ethical reasons, environmental and animal protections as main motivations for a vegan diet. Also, being a female seems to higher health benefits as a source of inspiration to start a vegan diet but it also seems to increase the perceived difficulties.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROA questão central desse estudo é verificar se os fundamentos da ética ambiental biocêntrica e a proposta do veganismo podem contribuir na reflexão sobre um sistema de moda mais pertinente à sustentabilidade ambiental e ao desenvolvimento da consciência quanto à necessidade de mudança no modo de vida dos humanos para que se preserve o ambiente natural. O pressuposto é que a proposta do veganismo e a ética ambiental biocêntrica oferecem fundamentos para um modo de produção e consumo mais adequados à sustentabilidade ambiental e para um modo de vida humana que seja menos destrutivo. Para alcançar esse objetivo levantou-se o estado da arte e os conceitos sobre moda, sustentabilidade ambiental, ética ambiental biocêntrica e veganismo; apresentou-se a proposta dos teóricos para a ética ambiental biocêntrica e estabeleceu-se uma relação com o estilo de vida dos veganos; entrevistou-se consumidores veganos que, segundo seu discurso, já praticam um consumo mais ético e sustentável, para verificar o seu modo de consumo; identificou-se novas propostas para o design do vestuário que visam um consumo ético e sustentável ambientalmente; e, apresentou-se a proposta do Programa de Extensão Ecomoda que vem sendo desenvolvida no curso de moda da UDESC. Esse trabalho é uma reflexão para contribuir na mudança nas engrenagens do atual sistema da moda, para que ele se torne mais adequado a uma visão de mundo mais sustentável ambientalmente.
The central question of this study is to verify that the fundamentals of biocentric environmental ethics of veganism and the proposal can contribute to reflection on a fashion system more relevant to environmental sustainability and the development of awareness of the need for change in the way of life for human to preserve the natural environment. The assumption is that the proposal of veganism biocentric environmental ethics and provide grounds for a mode of production and consumption to environmental sustainability and appropriate for a human way of life that is less destructive. To achieve this rose the state of the art and concepts about fashion, environmental sustainability, environmental ethics and biocentric veganism, presented the proposal for the theorists of biocentric environmental ethics and establish a relationship with the lifestyle of vegans; consumers interviewed are vegans who, according to his speech, already practice a more ethical and sustainable consumption, to check your mode of consumption, we identified new proposals for the design of clothing aimed at an environmentally sustainable and ethical consumption, and presented proposal to the Program Extension EcoMode being developed in the course of fashion UDESC and develop a reflection on their actions. This research is thought to contribute to a change in the gears of the current system of fashion, so that it becomes more suitable for a vision of environmentally sustainable world.

Full textAbstract:
I am vegan. This means I eschew animal products (such as meat, dairy and eggs) for ethical reasons. Academic interest in animal advocacy is expanding, as evidenced in the emerging field of Critical Animal Studies (Taylor and Twine, 2014). However, concurrent with a ‘criminalization’ of legitimate protest since 9/11 (Gilmore, 2013), empirical research suggests a tendency for mainstream media sources to ridicule, misrepresent and discredit vegans (Cole and Morgan, 2011). I examine the events and experiences that have been significant in shaping the biographies of vegan animal advocates. I use biographical interviews with twelve (12) vegans alongside visual methods, and autoethnography. Participants created comics -the narrative juxtaposition of words and images- about their lives, and I created an ‘autoethnographic’ comic about my biography as a vegan researcher, thus examining animal advocacy from a reflexive, situated vegan perspective. I found that vegan identity is often subject to normalizing processes (Foucault, 1977), and is necessarily fluid across social situations (as evidenced in descriptions of ‘coming out’ vegan). Vegan identity is performed and achieved in various embodied ways. These processes intersect with other social structures such as gender and sexuality. Access to cultural narratives about veganism is also significant in the experience of participants. The project contributes to the diverse fields of Biographical Research and Critical Animal Studies, adding rich biographical and visual data to existing empirical evidence around animal advocacy. It sets a precedent for the potential use of comics in research, particularly in connection with queer methodological approaches that challenge existing representational forms and focus on fluidity. It also offers novel applications for autoethnographic and visual biographical approaches.

SociologyPh.D.
This study is an examination of mobilization processes, with a particular focus on how people come to contemplate and ultimately embrace or reject veganism. It is a response to social movements scholarship that has called for examinations of how identity interacts with mobilization. Engaging the narratives of 34 interview participants who interacted with vegan advocacy networks in Greater Philadelphia, the study accounts for how prospective vegans negotiate forces, such as social networks and ties, that activate or hinder their mobilization; and for how they prioritize veganism amid competing priorities. Among other manners, participants came to contemplate the prospect of becoming vegan upon recognizing veganism as congruent with their other priorities. Participants who became vegan were more likely than participants who did not to prioritize altruism and to seek information that motivated and empowered them. Rather than prioritize their veganism over competing priorities, the vegans more often sought to harmonize their veganism with competing priorities. The study also measures the capacity of people from socioeconomically and racially contrasting neighborhoods in Philadelphia to engage in a behavior and a movement such as veganism. Results from a sample of 335 survey participants suggest that people from impoverished neighborhoods may be less capable because they are less likely to know people who practice veganism. The study's findings suggest that participation in movements is contingent on how prospective participants prioritize, on the incentives with which they contemplate participation, and on their capacity to participate.

Full textAbstract:
Responsible tourism is tourism which aims at minimizing negative environmental, social, and economic impacts, and benefits the local community. One crucial aspect is being neglected in the context of responsible tourism – the environmental impacts of food consumption. The impacts on the environment may vary depending on the dietary lifestyle. According to research, a vegan diet is generally less taxing on the environment than for example vegetarian or omnivorous ones. In this quantitative study, 161 participants, who consider themselves responsible tourists, were asked about their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour regarding the environmental benefits of veganism. The data were analysed using linear regressions within the mediation model and two-sample t- tests. I found that attitudes partly mediate the relationship between knowledge and behaviour. Vegans are more knowledgeable about the environmental benefits of veganism than omnivores. Besides, vegans showed the most pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour, followed by vegetarians and omnivores. Less than half of the sample perceive veganism as a part of responsible tourism. Those respondents who perceive it so are mainly vegans and vegetarians. A campaign that would raise awareness of the environmental benefits of veganism in the context of responsible travel needs to be implemented. A qualitative study should follow, and further research needs to be done among additional samples, such as typical mass tourists.

Esta pesquisa é um estudo de duas culturas alternativas: heavy metal e veganismo. Nossa proposta é analisar os processos de interação (entre indivíduos) e a circulação comunicacional derivada nessas culturas na perspectiva intra e intermidiática (FERREIRA, 2007; 2013 e ROSA; 2012), sob a ótica dos conceitos de sociedade em rede (CASTELLS, 2002) e dispositivo midiático (BRAGA, 2015 e FERREIRA, 2006; 2015), a fim de entender como se constitui o processo de midiatização nesses espaços. Para a observação empírica selecionamos o site Whiplash, que veicula matérias sobre heavy metal e seus subgêneros, e o Portal Vista-se, que produz conteúdo sobre veganismo. Em ambos identificamos agrupamentos e lógicas que conceituamos como confraria de amadores (FLICHY, 2010). A partir disso, a pergunta de base deste trabalho é: Nos casos específicos (Whiplash e Vista-se), que lógicas são acionadas na circulação intramidiática e intermidiática para a constituição de culturas alternativas? Com base nessa problematização, constituímos nosso caso de pesquisa, elaborando análises individuais para cada um desses objetos, observando usos e apropriações midiáticas realizadas pelos atores sociais inscritos nesses espaços, construindo, deste modo, um episódio analítico. Por fim, cruzamos estes dados em um texto de reflexão transversal, que nos permitiu entender, para além dos casos específicos, como está acontecendo o processo de midiatização dessas culturas alternativas e como este cenário complexifica não só as relações, mas a própria cultura.
This research is a study of two alternative cultures: heavy metal and veganism. Our porposal is to analyze the interaction (among individuals) and communicational circulation processes derived in these cultures in the intramediatic and intermediatic perspective (FERREIRA, 2007: 2013) and (ROSA, 2012), under the scrutiny of network society (CASTELLS, 2002) and mediatic devices (BRAGA, 2015 e FERREIRA, 2006; 2015) concepts, in order to understand how the mediatization processes occur in these spaces. To the empiric observation, we selected the site Whiplash that issues reports on heavy metal and its subgenres, and the site ―Vista-se‖, which produces content about veganism. On both we identified groupings and logics which we named ―Confraria de Amadores‖ (Amateur Confraternity) (FLICHY, 2010). From that, the main question for this research is: In these specific cases (Whiplash and Vista-se), what reasoning is activates at the intramediatic and intermediatic circulations for the construction of alternatives cultures? Based on this problematization, we constituted our research case, elaborating individual analysis for each of these objects, observing the use and mediatic appropriation carried out by the social actors subscribed in this objects, building, thus, an analytical episode. Finally, the data were crossed in a transversal analytical text allowing, thus, the understanding beyond the specific cases how the mediatization processes of these alternative cultures are occurring and how this scenario, complexifies, not just the relations, but the culture itself.

The present work proposes to bring an interpretation of speeches and symbolic aspects involved in the practice of veganism among young feminists. As scholars and other authors of the theme activists, they bring in their discourses and practices political dimensions that relate animal and environmental exploitation, and the consumption of meat and animal clothing, with a patriarchal capitalist system of exploitation that is the same governing domination between people through gender relations. The research comprises a set of methodologies for obtaining data as field research and semi - structured interviews between activists and groups that propose discussion between feminism and animal liberation, which may be located more precisely a feminist anarchist youth culture of young women many places in Brazil; are participants of activist groups, vegan feminist projects, festivals, bands and zines or even autonomous activists.
O presente trabalho propõe trazer uma interpretação dos discursos e aspectos simbólicos envolvidos na prática do veganismo entre jovens feministas. Assim como autores estudiosos do tema e outros ativistas, elas trazem em seus discursos e práticas, dimensões políticas que relacionam a exploração animal e ambiental, além do consumo da carne e vestuário de origem animal, com um modelo capitalista e patriarcal de exploração que é o mesmo que rege a dominação entre pessoas através das relações de gênero. A pesquisa conta com um conjunto de metodologias de obtenção de dados como pesquisa de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas entre ativistas e grupos que propõem a discussão entre feminismo e libertação animal, que podem ser localizados mais precisamente em uma cultura juvenil feminista de mulheres jovens anarquistas de diversos lugares do Brasil; sejam participantes de grupos ativistas, empreendimentos feministas veganos, festivais, bandas e zines ou até mesmo ativistas autônomas.

Full textAbstract:
Houve um crescimento substancial constatado nos últimos anos no número de pessoas adotando dietas veganas em várias áreas do mundo, incluindo nas Américas, na Europa e em diferentes regiões da Ásia. Em 2012, já existiam cerca de 16 milhões, 5 milhões e 1,68 milhão de pessoas veganas nos Estados Unidos, Brasil e Inglaterra, respectivamente. Questões de saúde, de meio ambiente e de direitos dos animais são algumas das preocupações do consumidor vegano. Essas causalidades também são características do consumo consciente. O consumo de produtos está conduzido por fatores econômicos, sociais, culturais, pessoais e ambientais que atuam sobre o fator a decisão de compra e de o comportamento do consumidor. Nesse sentido, questiona-se qual é o perfil e suas principais motivações que influenciam o comportamento do consumidor vegano no Brasil Para obter essa resposta, foram escritos dois artigos, a fim de atender os seguintes objetivos: Artigo I) contextualizar o estado da arte do consumo vegano; e Artigo II) caracterizar o perfil dos consumidores veganos; e identificar e analisar as motivações que orientam e influenciam o comportamento de consumidores veganos, com base na Teoria do Comportamento Planejado (TCP). Para o consumidor vegano, a TCP auxilia na abordagem das motivações que fazem parte para a compreensão do comportamento do consumidor planejado. Os resultados encontrados no primeiro artigo apresentam que as pesquisas sobre o consumo vegano cresce a partir de 2009, sendo um dos países que mais pesquisam sobre o assunto são os Estados Unidos, com 22 artigos. Além disso, ressalta-se que ao longo dos anos foram descobertas novas pesquisas que ratificam a importância de os indivíduos aderirem uma dieta vegana, por questões de saúde, de meio ambiente, corroborando para o consumo consciente Já no segundo artigo, os resultados mostram que a maioria dos consumidores veganos são do sexo feminino, jovens, solteiros, com ensino superior completo e pós-graduação e com menos e mais de um ano de veganismo. As principais variáveis que influenciam e orientam o comportamento do consumidor vegano estão relacionadas a sua saúde, às intenções comportamentais, aos alimentos ecoinovadores, ao direito dos animais e ao meio ambiente. Portanto, o comportamento do consumidor vegano, quando aplicado à TCP, revela que as atitudes, normas subjetivas e controle percebido geram um comportamento do consumidor planejado ao veganismo. Conclui-se que o consumo vegano tornou-se um nicho de mercado, contribuindo para a produção de alimentos ecoinovadores. Sob o ponto de vista do agronegócio, salienta-se que novas cadeias de produção de alimentos, diferenciação de produtos, estímulo à produção de orgânicos, estratégias de mercado e ampliação da oferta para atender a demanda são algumas ações positivas que podem impactar e promover a expansão desse nicho de mercado.There has been substantial growth in recent years in the number of people adopting vegan diets in various areas of the world, including in the Americas, Europe and different regions of Asia. In 2012, there were already around 16 million, 5 million and 1.68 million vegans in the United States, Brazil and England, respectively. Health, environment and animal rights issues are some of the concerns of the vegan consumer. These causalities are also characteristic of conscious consumption. The consumption of products is driven by economic, social, cultural, personal and environmental factors that act on the buying decision factor and consumer behavior. In this sense, it is questioned what is the profile and its main motivations that influence the behavior of the vegan consumer in Brazil To obtain this answer, two articles were written in order to meet the following objectives: Article I) contextualize the state of the art of vegan consumption; and Article II) characterize the profile of vegan consumers; and to identify and analyze the motivations that guide and influence the behavior of vegan consumers, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TCP). For the vegan consumer, TCP assists in approaching the motivations that are part of understanding the intended consumer behavior. The results found in the first article show that research on vegan consumption grows from 2009, with one of the most researched countries being the United States, with 22 articles. In addition, it is emphasized that over the years new research has been discovered that ratify the importance of individuals adhering to a vegan diet, for health reasons, of the environment, corroborating for conscious consumption. The second article, the results show that the majority of vegan consumers are female, young, single, with full college and postgraduate education and with less than and more than one year of veganism. The main variables that influence and guide the behavior of the vegan consumer are related to their health, behavioral intentions, ecoinovator foods, animal rights and the environment Therefore, vegan consumer behavior, when applied to TCP, reveals that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived control generate consumer behavior designed for veganism. Concluded that vegan consumption has become a niche market, contributing to the production of ecoinovadores foods. The point of view of agribusiness, it should be pointed out that new food production chains, product differentiation, organic production incentives, market strategies and supply expansion to meet demand are some positive actions that can impact and promote expansion of this niche market.

Full textAbstract:
Reading Veganism: The Monstrous Vegan, 1818 to Present focuses on the iteration of the trope of ‘the monstrous vegan’ across 200 years of Anglophone literature. Explicating, through such monsters, veganism’s relation to utopian longing and challenge to the conceptual category of the ‘human’, the book explores ways in which ethical identities can be written, represented, and transmitted. Reading Veganism proposes that we can recognize and identify the monstrous vegan in relation to four key traits. First, monstrous vegans do not eat animals, an abstinence that generates a seemingly inexplicable anxiety in those who encounter them. Second, they are hybrid assemblages of human and nonhuman animal parts, destabilizing existing taxonomical classifications. Third, monstrous vegans are sired outside of heterosexual reproduction, the product of male acts of creation. And, finally, monstrous vegans are intimately connected to acts of writing and literary creation. The principal contention of the book is that understandings of veganism, as identity and practice, are limited without a consideration of multiplicity, provisionality, failure, and insufficiency within vegan definition and lived practice. Veganism’s association with positivity, in its drive for health and purity, is countered by a necessary and productive negativity generated by a recognition of the horrors of the modern world. Vegan monsters rehearse the key paradoxes involved in the writing of vegan identity.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi produzir insights a respeito da dinâmica mercadológica que envolve os consumidores de alimentos veganos, mercado até então restrito a uma parcela pequena da população brasileira, mas que em conjunto com o mercado dos consumidores de alimentos vegetarianos, tem crescido de forma expressiva nos últimos anos e ainda pode apresentar potencial para crescimento. Para tanto, uma abordagem quantitativa em nível explicativo foi utilizada mediante investigação da associação existente entre os perfis demográfico, geográfico, psicográfico e comportamental de 214 respondentes que se autodeclaram como veganos residentes no Brasil. Além de classificar os consumidores veganos em segmentos distintos, bem definidos e específicos, a metodologia proposta na pesquisa pode apoiar a tomada de decisão de empresários que decidam investir em recursos técnicos e em estratégias de marketing específicas, a fim de atender um nicho onde a atual demanda por produtos e serviços pode ser maior que a oferta.

Food is a key part of survival and permeates various aspects such as ideological, psychological and representation. In this work, we will address a growing eating habit: veganism. The objective of this article is to study the transition process that individuals who choose this eating habit go through, in particular their motivations and difficulties. To this end, netnography was chosen as methodological procedures, and for this purpose non-participant observation was adopted – carried out on the social media Facebook –, and semi-structured interviews with vegans, where their experiences were addressed. From the elaboration of three stages: i) the beginning; ii) transition; iii) stability, it was possible to obtain results divided into categories that permeate veganism. Finally, it was concluded that veganism, in addition to being a habit, is a lifestyle.

Full textAbstract:
The current thinking of the majority of people is based on the tacit belief that animals are objects without consciousness that can be used as food, disguise material and toys. This view needs to be changed by introducing veganism -the scientifically based viewpoint that animals are relatively primitive conscious living beings that must be treated as such. The ongoing trend toward improving animal welfare and spreading acceptance of animal rights must be supported by educational efforts. The educational community must contribute to such a change in mentality by changing school culture and educational processes. The school education system must teach and support the vegan mentality and behavior. In this article, changes in educational goals and practices are described. Discussion topics about the use of animals for food, entertainment, and other purposes, are offered. Guidelines for promoting veganism and features for educational innovation are given.

Full textAbstract:
The European Green Deal aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 and maps a new and inclusive growth strategy to boost the economy, improve people’s health and quality of life, care for nature, etc. EU Farm to Fork Strategy for fair, healthy and environmentally- friendly food system, among others, asks for „moving to a more plant-based diet“. Plant-based diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of plant-based foods. Plant-based diet does not exclude meat or dietary products totally, but the emphasis should be on plants. Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the meat consumption. Vegetarians consume eggs dairy products and honey. Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal product in diet and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. Article 9 of European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and article 10 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union almost use the same text enshrining Freedom of thought, conscience and religion. To ensure the observance and engagements in the Convention and the Protocols, Council of Europe set up European Court of Human Rights. All European Union Member States are parties to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. European Court of Human Rights had many cases dealing with above-mentioned article 9. This paper will focus on Court’s cases dealing with veganism, vegetarianism and plant-based diet. It will investigate obligations, which arise from European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms to public administration institutions, namely hospitals, prisons, army, school and university canteens, etc. The paper will explore the practice of several European countries and Croatia. The results will show if veganism, vegetarianism and EU promoted plant-based diet are equally protected under European Convention or there are differences, and what differences if there are any.

O sistema de saúde desempenha um papel fundamental na promoção e divulgação da importância da qualidade de vida da população, incluindo uma dieta saudável e sustentável. Com um crescente número de indivíduos que excluem alimentos de origem animal de seus pratos, torna-se imperioso que os profissionais de saúde estejam prontos para oferecer atendimento qualificado a este público. Relatos sobre benefícios da dieta vegetariana/vegana são extensos, tanto no âmbito nutricional quanto na prevenção e auxilio no controle do diabetes, saúde cardiovascular, hipertensão e obesidade. Mas, podem ocorrer deficiências nutricionais caso a dieta não seja bem planejada. É importante que o profissional nutricionista tenha conhecimento satisfatório desses aspectos para orientar adequadamente quem opta por essa dieta nas diferentes fases da vida. O veganismo é uma escolha que vai além da dieta, beneficiando não somente seus adeptos, mas também o meio ambiente. O conhecimento dos desafios enfrentados pelos veganos trará ao profissional de saúde uma maior aproximação à realidade do paciente, bem como maiores chances de um acompanhamento satisfatório. Este estudo compreende uma revisão de literatura integrativa sobre os benefícios e riscos nutricionais da alimentação vegana e os desafios envolvidos na transição para o veganismo, servindo como guia para a abordagem desse público na rede de saúde.,

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, veganism is becoming increasingly popular, because health concerns are usually the primary reason why people turn to vegan diet. The aim of the study was to identify the supply of vegan products on the Latvian market by analysing the ingredients used in the production of the products, nutritional and energy value of vegan products. 192 vegan products made in 20 different countries and available in online stores that offer their goods on the Latvian market were analysed. The research was carried out from January to March 2020. Information on the country of origin, ingredients, nutritional and energy value of the products was taken from product labels. The majority of the vegan products in Latvian online stores comes from Germany. The most important ingredient in the production in product groups such as meat substitutes and dairy alternatives is soya (Glycine max.), which provides high protein content. The vegan products could not be characterized as low in fat, as the average fat content in the various product groups ranged from 7.9±1.7 to 19.7±3.3 g 100 g-1 of product, except beverages. The average energy values for all product groups varied between 210.7 kJ 100 mL-1 for beverages and 1226.0 kJ 100 g-1 for snacks. There would be a need for everyday vegan products in the Latvian market, as most of the products are snacks at the moment, and legumes should be used as ingredient in the production of new vegan products with increased nutritional value.

Full textAbstract:
Background – Plant-based beverages have garnered significant attention due to their nutritional benefits and alignment with dietary preferences such as lactose intolerance, veganism, and sustainability. Purpose – This study focuses on the development and characterization of plant-based milk formulations derived from a mixture of black bean with green bean, and black bean with red bean. The beans and resultant milk products were evaluated for their fatty acid profile, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity. Design/methodology/approach – All samples were extracted by dichloromethane-ethanol extraction. The crude extract will be further derivatization for fatty acid profile analysis. The spectrophotometry were used to analyze the total phenolic compound and antioxcidant activity of the the product. Findings – Black beans demonstrated a high content of linolenic acid (41.74 ± 1.26%), surpassing green and red beans. Both plant-based milk formulations were rich in unsaturated fats, with monounsaturated fat ranging from 54.47% to 59.23% and polyunsaturated fat from 40.29% to 45.06%. The total phenolic content of black bean, red bean, and green bean were 2.38, 2.20, and 1.52 μg GAE/g DW, respectively. Antioxidant activity, assessed via % inhibition at 100 mg/ml, showed that black bean extracts exhibited the highest activity (75.05%), followed by red bean (64.1%) and green bean (64.5%). For the plant-based milk formulations, the antioxidant activity was 40.1% and 29.2% for black bean with red bean, and black bean with green bean, respectively. Research limitations – The study focused on black bean, green bean, and red bean, which may not fully represent the diversity of legumes available globally. Originality/value – The findings underscore the nutritional and functional potential of plant-based milk derived from legumes, particularly highlighting their unsaturated fat content and phenolic compound-mediated antioxidant activity. This study contributes to the growing field of sustainable, plant-based food innovations aimed at promoting health and addressing global dietary trends.

Full textAbstract:
Denna rapport sammanfattar det vetenskapliga kunskapsläget när det gäller ämnet en hållbar kost och hållbar matkonsumtion. En hållbar kost kan definieras som en kost som främjar individers hälsa och välbefinnande, har en låg miljöpåverkan, är tillgänglig, prisvärd, säker och, rättvis, samt kulturellt acceptabel. Tyngdpunkten i den här rapporten ligger på miljöeffekter kopplade till svensk matkonsumtion. En kosts miljömässiga hållbarhet kan utvärderas på flera sätt. Ett vanligt sätt är att först beräkna eller sammanställa miljöpåverkan per kg från de livsmedel som ingår i kosten och sedan multiplicera dessa med den mängd livsmedel som ingår i kosten under en viss tidsperiod. Man kan studera enskilda individers kost, den genomsnittliga kosten för olika grupper inom befolkningen eller befolkningen i stort. Man kan också studera miljöpåverkan från olika teoretiska eller typiska kostmönster, till exempel en kost som är utformad för att minska miljöpåverkan eller en typisk vegetarisk eller vegansk kost. Vad som är relevant att studera beror på vilken frågeställning man vill ha svar på. Huruvida en viss kost är hälsosam eller inte kan studeras i epidemiologiska studier eller genom att jämföra kosten mot kostrekommendationer per livsmedelsgrupp och/eller innehållet av olika näringsämnen. Sociala aspekter kopplade till olika kostmönster är ofta mer svårstuderade och det finns få studier på detta område. Produktion av livsmedel påverkar miljön på många olika sätt. De flesta studier som utvärderat miljöpåverkan från koster beaktar endast ett fåtal miljöaspekter, vanligtvis klimat, markanvändning och vattenanvändning. För att belysa fler viktiga aspekter kring en kosts miljöpåverkan, samt fånga eventuella målkonflikter, kan det vara bra att använda fler indikatorer och/eller komplettera med ytterligare analyser. I rapporten presenteras en rekommendation från en grupp internationella experter att utöver klimatpåverkan och vattenanvändning, även inkludera påverkan på biologisk mångfald från markanvändning (snarare än bara markanvändning som en indikator för hur mycket mark som används), toxiska effekter från användning av bekämpningsmedel samt exploatering av vilda fiskebestånd. För att resultat från hållbarhetsutvärderingar ska bli användbara i olika beslutssituationer måste förenklingar ofta göras, till exempel genom att välja ut ett fåtal indikatorer, eller genom att slå ihop olika indikatorer till index eller på annat sätt aggregera resultaten. Exempel på hur det kan göras redovisas i rapporten. Det finns flera utmaningar när det gäller att göra en sammanvägd bedömning av vad som är hälsosamma och hållbara livsmedel och kostmönster. Dels är det en utmaning att välja ett begränsat, men tillräckligt, antal relevanta indikatorer. Sedan ska indikatorerna på något sätt räknas samman och viktas, och för bäst resultat även jämföras mot något slags referensvärde för vad som är ”högt” och ”lågt” för olika indikatorer.Oundvikligen så innebar bedömningar av vad som är hållbara livsmedel och koster en rad normativa beslut som kommer att påverka resultaten. Verktyg måste också anpassas till olika användare och sammanhang för att vara användbara och relevanta. På den svenska livsmedelsmarknaden finns det tiotusentals olika livsmedel. Det är ett mycket stort arbete att beräkna miljöpåverkan från alla dessa med stor noggrannhet och sedan hålla dessa beräkningar uppdaterade. Därför får man ofta nöja sig med ungefärliga värden för olika livsmedelsgrupper och råvaror när man ska beräkna miljöpåverkan från olika koster. Ofta räcker det långt för att få en uppfattning om vad som är stort och smått i kostens miljöpåverkan. I denna rapport redovisas miljöberäkningar från SAFAD-verktyget (https://safad.se/), ett webbaserat verktyg för att räkna miljöavtryck för ett stort antal råvaror och livsmedel. Dessa (och andra) beräkningarna visar att majoriteten av växtbaserade råvaror har betydligt lägre klimatavtryck än animaliska livsmedel. För tillfört nytt kväve och fosfor, som används som grova indikatorer för övergödning, ser mönstret liknande ut, det vill säga högre påverkan för animalieråvarorna generellt än för de växtbaserade. Detta beror på den stora mängd foder som används i animalieproduktionen. Foderproduktionen innebär en stor tillförsel av kväve via kvävefixerande växter och mineralgödsel. En betydande del av detta kväve och fosfor läcker ut från jordbrukssystemet och orsakar skada i ekosystem på land och i vatten. För typiska maträtter kommer mellan 50-95 procent av utsläppen av växthusgaser från jordbruksproduktionen, medan resten utgörs av utsläpp från förädling, tillagning, paketering och transport. De flesta frukter, grönsaker och rotfrukter samt mjölk har hög avkastning per ytenhet och får på så sätt en låg åkermarksanvändning per kg produkt. För nötter, men även baljväxter, är det stor variation i hur mycket åkermark som krävs för att producera ett kg och variationen beror på variation i skörd. Kött från idisslare har ofta en hög åkermarksanvändning i jämförelse med övriga råvaror. Det beror på att idisslare äter mycket foder som till stor del odlas på åkermark. I Sverige sker också en stor del av betet på åkermark (i stället för betesmark), speciellt inom mjölkproduktionen. Hög åkermarksanvändning behöver dock inte bara vara negativt. Det beror på var och hur användningen sker. Vissa vilda djur- och växtarter är knutna till jordbrukslandskapet så bevarande av åkermark i vissa regioner kan vara viktigt för den biologiska mångfalden. För blåvattenkonsumtion, bekämpningsmedelsanvändning och biologisk mångfald från markanvändningen är det inte samma generella skillnad i miljöpåverkan mellan kött från idisslare och andra råvaror. Generellt kräver produktion av nötter mycket bevattning och blåvattenkonsumtionen blir hög per kg råvara. Vattenkonsumtionen per kg gröda är också ofta betydligt högre i varma länder. Även bekämpningsmedelsanvändningen är hög för nötter, här är dock data mycket osäkra. Hur stor påverkan på biologisk mångfald från markanvändningen blir beror dels på hur mycket mark som produktionen kräver, samt var produktionen sker. Högst påverkan av alla råvaror har lammkött från Nya Zealand, Grekland, Spanien och Italien. Lammkött från Nordeuropa (inklusive Sverige) har betydligt lägre negativ påverkan på biologisk mångfald från markanvändningen och bidrar också med positiva värden om betet sker på naturbetesmark. Andra råvaror som orsakar stor negativ påverkan på den biologiska mångfalden från markanvändningen är lågavkastande grödor från Sydeuropa (till exempel nötter och baljväxter från Spanien) eller produkter från tropiska regioner (till exempel kaffe från Indonesien, Peru, Indien och Brasilien, och kokosnöt från Filippinerna, Indonesien och Indien, samt bananer från Ecuador och Costa Rica). Den svenska kostens klimatpåverkan har studerats i ett flertal studier och resultaten visar att klimatpåverkan från den svenska medelkosten för den vuxna befolkningen ligger i spannet 1,8 till 2,2 ton CO2-ekvivalenter per person och år, vilket är högt i ett internationellt perspektiv. Även för annan miljöpåverkan har den svenska kosten en relativt hög påverkan. För att minska miljöpåverkan från maten behövs en rad åtgärder. Forskning visar att det är svårt att nå klimat- och miljömål utan en kombination av åtgärder. Det finns ett antal övergripande strategier som är nödvändiga: 1. Förbättra livsmedelsproduktionen genom att öka produktiviteten, införa olika typer av tekniska lösningar och använda bästa möjliga management 2. Värna ekosystemen genom att förhindra ytterligare avskogning i regioner där den biologiska mångfalden påverkats negativt av avskogning, samt värna jordbrukslandskapet diversitet och biologisk mångfald 3. Förändra konsumtionsmönstren genom att minska konsumtionen av animaliska produkter, minska överkonsumtionen, öka konsumtion av ekologiska produkter, minska konsumtion av råvaror från känsliga tropiska regioner, välja fisk från hållbara bestånd och kött från djur som bevarar biologiskt och kulturellt värdefull naturbetesmark 4. Minska svinn och förluster i alla led
