Welcome to the Vegan Package Swap!
If you want to try vegan food and cosmetics from all over the world and share your own insider tips with everyone, then the “vegan package swap” project is just the thing for you:
The Experimental Social Cooking Workshop Part 3
Three course menue from the 6th of febuary at OG9:
Appatizer:
Quinoa salad assorted with onions, tomatos, red-, green- and yellow- peperoni and steamed beans
Main Course:
Broccoli soup with home-made rosmary croutons and one slice of broccoli in beer-dough
Dessert:
Friut salad assorted with banana, grapes, appel, orange, mandarin, freh peppermint- leaves and vanilla
topped with home-made banana ice cream
25 people prepared this creative three-course meal from containerized delicacies on the evening of 6 February in OG 9. It’s incredible what can be found in the “backyard” of many large supermarkets.
The topic of food waste has been on the vegan kitchen’s agenda for some time now. On March 1, the free restaurant “good food for you, for free” will be presented for the first time for one day as part of the Z+ event at Zurich University of the Arts.
From May 31, as part of the Zurich University of the Arts graduation exhibition, there will be a two-week exhibition on the 3rd floor of Pfingstweidstrase 6.
“good food for you, for free” is served, all from containerized food from supermarkets in the Zurich area.

LUSH does not use microplastics in any of its products – but they still keep their sparkle!
At the end of January 2013, LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics announced its decision to remove all microplastics (plastic glitter) from its products. This decision was celebrated by environmental organizations and groups for the protection and preservation of the oceans, namely the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage.
Hilary Jones, Ethics Manager at LUSH says: “LUSH is known for its bubbly bath products and cosmetics. But some of the glitter and sparkle in the products is due to microplastic glitter. A few years ago, LUSH began replacing this plastic glitter with new alternatives due to concerns about the spread of microplastics in the environment. Research has evolved and so LUSH can continue to sparkle without polluting the environment.
LUSH has remained exciting and fun, even as they have removed the glitter in the bath balls with edible shimmer, rice paper confetti, popping sugar, sugar decorations and even by creating their own confetti from dehydrated melons that LUSH blends with their in-house palm oil-free soap base.
LUSH is pleased to work with Surfers Against Sewage and the Marine Conservation Society, particularly on plastic pollution and beach clean-up projects, as well as public awareness campaigns. Her tireless commitment has inspired LUSH to quickly find alternatives to glitter for the latest challenging products.
Over 50% of the glitter was used in three long-standing bestsellers, so LUSH had to ensure they found worthy replacements to avoid disappointing loyal customers.
With glitter now agar-based and other eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives coming to market, LUSH is very happy to finally announce that it will now be possible to remove all plastic glitter from products in the very near future without sacrificing fun, sparkle and pop. The result will please customers and environmentalists alike.”
Dr. Sue Kinsey, Senior Officer for Pollution at the Marine Conservation Society says: “Microplastics are becoming a real problem for the oceans. LUSH’s decision to dispense with plastic glitter is forward-looking and a pioneering move for other companies. This decision is a positive step by the company, which has clearly understood the message and is not left cold by the threat to the oceans. LUSH is also sending a clear message to consumers, who will hopefully try to find alternatives to microplastics in other areas too. This is a big step for the future and I hope that other companies will take this as an example.”
PETA commercial with Joaquin Phoenix boycotted by US broadcaster.
And the Oscar goes to….. Joaquin Phoenix. Whether the star actor and self-confessed vegan will hear this sentence for the second time after his Jonny Cash performance in “Walk the Line”, we will only find out on February 24, 2013. His acceptance speech would certainly be exciting. It’s quite conceivable that he won’t be able to resist taking a swipe at ABC. The US broadcaster has decided to cancel the PETA’s latest TV ad during the Oscars, in which Joaquin Phoenix plays the leading role. ABC’s reasoning according to PETA? The TV commercial was too controversial and political.
Cow in your coffee? Oh, no. Cafés & restaurants with alternatives.
Soy, oat and rice milk do not yet have a permanent place in all catering fridges. But there are more and more of them in Zurich. The vegan kitchen picked up the phone and called the Ron Orp Kafiquartett to ask about cow’s milk alternatives. In addition to answers such as “We don’t want to have anything to do with soy milk”, there was also positive feedback: During the discussion, one café owner decided to serve additional soy milk. Others also care about the topic. Instead of making our own list, we have added to theirs. For example, the one by André Huber, which is updated on Facebook and has been copied and pasted below (as of 10.2.13). You can also find it on google maps, where Fabienne Grimm is at work. And now we need a spelt and hazelnut cappuccino…

Better safe than sorry!
“B12 toothpaste and B12 mouth spray is the perfect combination to definitely not get B12 deficiency after many vegan years. It has been found that B12 is best absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth! The Sante B12 toothpaste is available in the
Vitus-Bioladen Niederdorf .
and order the spray right here.
PS: Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that is neither of animal nor plant origin but is produced by microorganisms. Whether the vitamin B12 intake of a vegan diet is sufficient seems to be very controversial. However, an increasing number of studies indicate that vitamin B12 supplementation is generally useful (not just for vegans).”
