«Kochen ist ein kreatives Werkzeug, um die Welt zu verändern!» Lauren Wildbolz führte in zukunftsweisende Ernährungstrends ein. Ihr Wissen und ihr Engagement für das Thema vegane Ernährung sind wegweisend für den Umgang mit Lebensmitteln aus naturnahem, umweltschonendem Anbau und Gebrauch – und regten zum Nachdenken an. Lis Mijnssen gab Einblicke in die Praxis und Erfahrung ihrer gelebten Philosophie – ökologisch, biologisch, vegan und bewusst gegenüber Mensch und Umwelt.
Zum anschliessenden Diskurs geniessten die Gäste ein reichhaltiges veganes Nomadenfrühstück und lernten die beiden Exponentinnen persönlich kennen.

 

The ethics of eating

My book tip of the month: Ethics of Food by Harald Lemke. Introduction to gastrosophy
(2nd edition – revised new edition)

How do we eat responsibly? Nutritional ethics is one of the latest developments in practical philosophy. In the face of the global food crisis, she asks the inevitable questions: How can humanity feed itself? How “well” should we eat so that everyone can enjoy good food? How can gastroethics be justified?
Far more than criticism of capitalism or the expansion of international protest movements, the food revolution is based on our thinking – on a gastrosophical rethink. Harald Lemke makes it clear that it is high time to lay the necessary foundations and start with a radical self-criticism of the Western philosophy of food.
New edition – with a detailed foreword on the question: “What do people eat?”

Excerpt from the interview with Lemke on SRF on July 14, 2015

Does this mean that we all have to become vegetarians or even vegans?

Harald Lemke: “I would say: live as much veganism as you can. It shouldn’t be a ‘thou shalt’. I advocate a gastrosophical hedonism. This consists of taking more time to eat again. This also means that we may all have to become part-time farmers. In my opinion, urban gardening is not a short-term trend. When I produce some of my own food, I have a completely different relationship with what I eat.”

But isn’t this all a little cynical in view of world hunger?

Harald Lemke: “This is directly related. Around 800 million people in the world still suffer from hunger. One step towards lifting them out of poverty would be to stop buying cheap products in our supermarkets. Because that means that these people continue to be poorly paid and still have too little money to eat. This is about fair trade. If we change our eating and consumer behavior, we can influence the big food companies.”

But how do you reach people with these messages?

Harald Lemke: “The big picture is that we are fundamentally devaluing food from an early age. Because food brings us close to animals. So we act as if food is secondary. But we don’t have food instincts like animals. So we have to use our brains to know how to eat properly. So we should all try to rediscover the great importance of food. Everyday. Anthropologically.”

Green light for a vegan diet.

A vegan diet for pregnant women and small children is possible without any problems, as long as important things are taken into account, such as vitamin B12 supplementation. This statement is supported by three medical specialists who have contributed to my new book “Vegan Love”.

  • Cookbook and guide for pregnancy, breastfeeding, baby and toddler.
  • Basic knowledge and over 80 vegan recipes for a balanced diet.
  • With contributions from three medical specialists on medical safety.

Plenty of vegetables, fruit, nuts, pulses and wholegrain products in the daily diet provide the little body with all the important nutrients. In order to rule out health risks, sound nutritional knowledge, the involvement of nutritional experts and vitamin B12 supplements are required. This book provides the basics. The 80 recipes are well-balanced, of particularly high organic quality and can be prepared in a short time without the need for ready-made products. Starting with the ideal diet when planning to have children, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, through to porridge and solid foods up to the age of three. With valuable contributions from three expert doctors as well as many practical tips and hints for everyday use. Lauren Wildbolz has been meat-free since she was fourteen and now eats a vegan diet with her husband and three-year-old daughter.

Lauren Wildbolz, entrepreneur, food activist, cookbook author and one of the pioneers of vegan food in Switzerland with her “vegan kitchen and bakery”, which opened in 2010. Organizer of vegan cooking courses, blogger and operator of a catering company.
