Vegetarianism/veganism

Unii oameni renunta la a mai manca orice tip de carne (inclusiv peste, fructe de mare, insecte etc), iar acest fenomen se numeste vegetarianism.

"Broadly defined, a vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians eat mainly fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Many vegetarians eat eggs and/or dairy products but avoid hidden animal products such as beef and chicken stocks, lard, and gelatin."

Cei care renunta complet la a consuma orice produs care vine de la animale (asta include produse alimentare ca ouale si lactatele, inclusiv mierea, dar si haine din piele sau de blana, si produse de la companii care testeaza pe animale) se numesc vegani.

"Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan."

Mai exista si o alta categorie de oameni care nu doar ca nu consuma niciun fel de produs animal (ca veganii), dar nici nu gatesc mancarea pe care o mananca, deoarece considera ca este mult mai sanatos asa pentru ca respectivele fructe si legume isi pastreaza toti nutrientii, iar ei se numesc vegani crudivori.

"It excludes all food and products of animal origin, as well as food cooked at a temperature above 48 °C. A raw vegan diet includes raw vegetables and fruits, nuts and nut pastes, grain and legume sprouts, seeds, plant oils, sea vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, and fresh juices."

Oamenii renunta la carne sau la alte produse animale din motive etice, morale sau de sanatate. Unii o fac pentru animale, altii pentru mediul inconjurator, iar altii doar ca sa fie mai sanatosi.

Voi ati auzit despre astfel de persoane? Daca da, ce parere aveti? Credeti ca ati fi in stare sa urmati vreuna din "diete"?
