A Declaration of Love Part. 1

A Vegan Food Love Story – Roots

 

Photo: Andrea Monica Hug

Anyone who has ever watched me eat or knows me a little better knows what a connoisseur I am. I’d rather not eat anything than eat something I don’t like.

What food – and I mean “real, proper food” – means for me, for my quality of life, for my body, my psyche and my health, I had to experience this winter in Japan.

Because “real, proper food” makes me healthy, happy and satisfied. It can be so simple!

There are two restaurants in Zurich that earned the title “I really LOVE LOVE LOVE your food” last year.

One of them is the Roots. http://www.rootsandfriends.com/

For almost 10 months, the Roots Boys and Girls! (Thanks Angie & Anja!) to make sure I don’t starve, even when I’m on the road. So I flew from Zurich to London with food from Roots.

Centrally located, within walking distance of Zurich main station, in a street parallel to Bahnhofstrasse between the main station and Globus Bahnhofstrasse, at the back of Fielmann, Roots is perfectly situated in my catchment area.

No matter what you order, everything is freshly prepared for you, which leads to short waiting times during the lunch rush. But it’s definitely worth the wait!!!

Whether it’s breakfast to go, a smoothie, lunch or the finest Italian coffee, the focus here is on sustainability and quality.

The take-away tableware consists mainly of organic and recycled materials.

Since a few days with new SPRING TIME card: Check it out!!!

There is a wide gap between advertising and actual animal husbandry. This is shown by the latest research by Tier im Fukus:
Pig Report
or
The commodity chicken
.

Consumers are deceived by the discrepancy between appearance and reality. This prevents an informed choice at the meat counter. This is not the case with a realistic depiction of the husbandry conditions. Only then can consumers make an informed decision.

The animal rights organization
tier-im-fokus.ch (TIF)
and the petitioners are calling on the federal government to print truthful photos of the farming conditions on the packaging of meat and meat products.

The Hermès Birkin bag is no longer timeless

More Information

Those bags made by Hermès and Prada, which are “status symbols” for wealthy customers willing to part with thousands of pounds for a single ostrich-skin accessory. The origin of the leather used for these “luxury” handbags would shock even the most hardened fashionistas.

South Africa – where these intelligent, sensitive animals are intensively farmed for their skins – is the ostrich-killing capital of the world. The farm featured in this PETA US investigation is the exclusive supplier of the infamous Hermès Birkin bags. Investigators saw juvenile birds tightly packed into open-topped vehicles for the terrifying journey to slaughter.

Once the animals reach the abattoir, workers forcibly restrain them, electrically stun them and then cut their throats. Moments later, the feathers are torn from the birds’ still-warm bodies, and they are then skinned and dismembered. Wild ostriches can live for around 40 years, but on these farms, they are slaughtered when they’re just 1 year old to be turned into fashion accessories.
