From Wednesday, December 9 to Sunday, December 13, 2015, the “Human Rights Film Festival Zurich” will take place at the Riffraff and the Filmpodium. The program reflects the diversity of human rights concerns in different regions and social constellations. The cinemas are showing artistically strong films that convincingly explore urgent human rights issues. These include refugee and migration issues, the Syrian crisis, raw material extraction, women’s rights and LGBTI rights. The subsequent panel discussions expand the program and offer the opportunity to put what has been seen into context and discuss it.

The future of NUTRITION

Future-of-nutrition

Panel discussion Wednesday, Nov. 18 2015 over lunch @ Hiltl

 

Meat consumption is increasing worldwide, while at the same time the area of untouched rainforest is decreasing, partly because it is being used intensively for the cultivation of soy for animal feed and as grazing land. Equally alarming is the state of the increasingly overfished oceans and the living conditions of the animals that serve us as food. What alternatives are available? Will we soon be eating artificial, less, no or different (animal) meat?

 

Discussion with

Christian Bärtsch, co-founder and member of the management board of Essento, a Swiss start-up dedicated to the potential of edible insects

Thomas Bratschi, ZHAW – Life Sciences and Facility Management Head of the Geography of Food research group, lecturer CAS in Food Responsibility

Rolf Hiltl, 4th generation owner and managing director of Hiltl AG

Moderation: Dr. Olivia Bosshart, KION

including the following questions and topics

– How can the constantly growing world population be supplied with food, especially protein?

– And with what type of protein? What does this mean for cultivation, “production”, distribution, eating habits, …

– Vegetarian cuisine is booming – is the future of nutrition becoming more vegetarian? Vegan? For which regions of the world does this apply? And is that a luxury?

– Will we eat less, no or different meat in future? Do we include insects in our diet? Or would you prefer artificial meat?

– … what questions do YOU have?

IMG_3953

Vegan is the new vegetarian.

The Street Food Festival already showed that almost every food stall had a vegan option on offer. The spectacle proves that vegan food can go hand in hand with a visit to the theater and is in keeping with the spirit of the times: More and more restaurants are offering a vegan option. We have summarized the highlights for you.

 

 

Cantina

Vegetables from root to leaf, tofu.

Henri- laughs

Organic cuisine with oriental mezze platter (vegan option on request), quinoa burgers (vegetarian) with salad.

Landis

Organic fair trade and slow food products with a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Patata

Potatoes in foil, potato noggi, French fries with salad.

The Röhrli Bar

Off to the crate! Conni Stüssi and her Röhrli Bar team have gone under the radar – in the truest sense of the word. They turn the Röhrli bar into a land of crates: there are stacks of two-person crates, soap boxes, flicker boxes, treasure chests, boxes to look in and boxes to look out of. The food box contains everything that makes children’s hearts beat faster: Hot dogs, popcorn, treats, and if you want something healthy: Apples. And of course101 varieties of syrup! Mampfred, who eats all the compostable waste, makes sure that the waste box doesn’t overflow. This year, he will be relieved of the task of the cup return lady, as the syrup is now available in returnable cups.

Street art suitable for children takes place in good weather on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons in front of the Röhrlibar. More information on site at the bar. Admission is free, but there is a hat collection.

By the way, a wonderful merry-go-round is in operation from MO, DI, DO and FR from 5 pm, MI and SA from 3 pm, SO from 2 pm

Review of the panel discussion “The cult of our food”

We talked about who produces it, how it seduces us and why eating has become so complicated.

The panel discussion on the occasion of the book “Der Kult um unser Essen”, published by NZZ Libro, took place yesterday, Wednesday, June 17, in Zurich. 150 participants were present.

The question of what and how we eat occupies our modern society more than almost any other topic and is increasingly taking on ideological traits. Organic, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or lactose-free – the variety on offer is just as great as the uncertainty surrounding food. Body ideals, allergies and intolerances, but also the working rhythm influence eating behavior. At the same time, there are increasing questions about the quality, production and origin of food, about industrial production, additives and animal welfare. Food has ceased to be just food. It has become both a problem and a cult. How do we find our way back to enjoyment? These topics were explored last evening. Richard Kägi/Food Scout at Globus (Migros), Christian Gugisberg/Head of Purchasing Food Coop Switzerland, Michael Fuger/NZZ am Sonntag and Lauren Wildbolz/vegan kitchen took part in the panel discussion. Ms. Olivia Bossart hosted the evening.

The book“Kult um unser Essen” was published by NZZ Verlag last Saturday and can be found here.

You can find more reading on the subject here.

The green smoothie workshop on May 26, 2015

nell_smoothieThe green futuristic meal for your health. It is crucial that we supply the body with green leafy vegetables. The green smoothie is great: if we drink a glass of it, we consume half the amount of fruit and vegetables we should eat per day in one go. In this course you will get to know different combinations of leafy vegetables, fruits and seeds. After a few degustaions of sweet and savory green smoothies, you will learn how to blend a green smoothie muesli as a whole meal.

The course consists of the theory of the green smoothie and its history, detailed knowledge of vital substances, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and bitter substances, chlorophyll in green leafy vegetables, the rules and tricks of the green smoothie. As well as a practical block: tasting sweet and savory green smoothies in a large catering kitchen and finishing with making your own green smoothie muesli. All ingredients are organic!

 

The workshop costs CHF 100 including course materials and dinner (green smoothie muesli).
