A cheerful group of vegans and non-vegans met for Easter brunch. But what would Easter be without Easter eggs? A better world. At least for hens and male chicks. Before Easter, they lay eggs in piecework, but are still not allowed to raise their young. Male chicks are usually killed immediately. To the report in the Sonntagszeitung. You can find reading material on day-old chicks here.

Why isn’t wine vegan, or even vegetarian?

Vegan spelt plait, medium, 400 g from John the Baker
But let’s start with me. I order tea at Sprüngli on Paradeplatz and want to provoke the waitress out of a not-so-good mood: “You don’t have soy milk.” “I’m about to hear the same answer I’ve been getting for years,” I think to myself. But the waitress doesn’t do me the favor and replies with the professional friendliness of Sprüngli employees
“Yes, we do.”
I also feel ashamed of myself in Sprüngli after I ask Yves Spink why the vegan plait is no longer labeled vegan and he replies that vegan customers have complained to him. They feel discriminated against.
The vegan plait is therefore available under the politically correct name of spelt plait and the world has one less big problem.
PS: The Dinkelzopf, in my opinion the finest in town, is not only available at the Stadelhofen branch. John the Baker will soon be opening a second branch in district four. You can find more information here:

You will learn about healthy and ecological alternatives and where these products are available. You will learn what to look out for when choosing deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, make-up etc. and receive valuable tips to make it easier for you to switch from conventional cosmetics to natural cosmetics
By the way, here are some interesting details about the managing directors
Sarah Semrau
I have been working as a freelance make-up artist for editorial shoots, fashion shows, music videos, commercials etc. for nine years.(click here for my online portfolio)
In recent years, my lifestyle has changed more and more in a healthier, fairer and more ecological direction. After changing my diet and personal care and cosmetic products, it was a natural process for me to also question my work and the associated products. So I decided to put together a completely green, healthy and cruelty-free kit. In my search for suitable products, I noticed that the range of high-quality natural and organic cosmetics, hair and care products on offer here is still very limited. The idea for Pretty & Pure was born.
Nadine Schäppi
As a trained natural cosmetician and founder of Holistic Beauty skin care & more, I am particularly pleased to have met Sarah Semrau and to have been running our joint business with her since October 1st. Thanks to several years of experience in the field of natural cosmetics and holistic skin care, I can offer you support in choosing your skin care products and make general recommendations on beauty care and closely related matters such as nutrition and stress management. Through my initial training as a Dipl. As a qualified nurse and with several years of professional experience in postpartum and infant care, expectant and new moms also benefit from a visit to us – whether because of the large selection of safe products for young and old or because of the treatments and workshops specially tailored to this special phase of life. Speaking of treatments: holistic facials are my specialty and the aim is to leave you feeling not only beautifully cared for, but also balanced and rested. That’s why we attach great importance to a stylish wellness ambience with candlelight, preheated loungers, flower teas and fine fragrances, and each facial includes a relaxing massage of the shoulders, neck and décolleté.
