An (almost) vegetarian Brno
Yes, I went back to an important choice.
Gia 'in the past had done, and rooted in a serious (perhaps too), I returned to a ' diet ' vegetarian.
The reasons are not animalistic, as in my previous experience, although some video should make us think ... ALL.
When did the military in 1996, started for about 3 years to avoid any kind of meat.
In questi giorni, da circa un mese, ho deciso di adottare una linea piu' morbida.
EVITO la carne rossa ma con un compromesso non disdegno pesce e carne bianca.
Come dicevo il motivo non è a difesa degli animali e contro la loro macellazione (che chiaramente non approvo nelle forme brutali ed industriali).
Piu' 'semplicemente' sono d'accordo con degli studi che spero facciano riflettere:
- Di tutti i cereali prodotti nel mondo, oltre il 55% è destinata agli allevamenti e non direttamente all'alimentazione umana; 80% delle produzioni e coltivazioni vegetali dei paesi poveri sono destinate agli allevatori di animali da macello (In rich countries, primarily in U $)
-are enormous quantities of water for agriculture is to this farming of animals for slaughter, every pound of flesh burning 20,000 gallons of water.
Thus, countries with high poverty, provide food in the form of vegetable products (cereals) that are not used to feed the population, but animals that become food for a meat dish on the table markets more 'rich. A DEADLY
contradiction when you consider the percentage of people dying of hunger!
According to FAO estimates of 2003, more than 25,000 people die of hunger every day , while between 2001 and 2003 more than 800 million people suffering from chronic malnutrition. On average a child dies of hunger every five seconds .
The same, or worse goes for the water ...
Plus' gases emitted by cattle and sheep, for flatulence and belching, contribute substantially to the greenhouse effect.
I could continue, but I do not want to bore anyone.
're looking for, but actually, to do?
Although individually, not involved in the meat market.
I assure you that in czech rep is not easy, simple dishes with pigs and cattle are going ... a restaurant is now a pipe dream for me, whereas before it was a pleasure.
lunch in the canteen, which offers good meals and bad vegetarian, but I sacrifice myself and I choose the latter.
Every time I see a friend and decide to eat, the story of my choice, I try to raise awareness.
At Brno, in general in czech rep, vegetables and fruit are not high quality, fairly expensive, not because of consumer and niche products, even if the demand is growing and therefore the offer.
There are a few small areas where you can buy organic, but the high costs do not allow me to access it.
I am content to buy vegetables from supermarkets, aware of the exploitation of farmers towards implementing. Perhaps it would be better
contact the manufacturer directly, who knows ... over time ... Meanwhile
with my choice will not change 'the fate of thousands of malnourished children, even that of millions of animals tortured to be found in the human stomach, but at least I will not feel guilty of their own destiny.
Greetings (almost) vegetarian!
