THE VEGAN HYPE

THE VEGAN HYPE

I love how all these so-called vegans still drink water
That's a fish's house you savages


In light of my previous post several weeks ago, where I go on about food appreciation in a work life environment, I decided that night to treat myself to yet another delectable dinner at my favorite vegan place just around the corner from Zurich HB, forgoing my usual sweet potato wrap as I poorly attempt to lay off carbs after 5PM. I did however enjoy a very succulent green couscous bowl.

Ad

Sometimes, soul food is definitely better than sex.
Not that I’m getting any at the moment.

Although I’m no actual vegan, just a closeted one, I have come to enjoy the freshness delivered by roots. To top it off, Mattias is always ever the sweetheart when he brings my order with a smile. I’ve basically uncovered their marketing strategy - Hire good looking staff and make good food to trap you into their world of veganism.

Ad

It’s a psychological warfare

Funny enough, I used to think vegan was gross. The idea of food being flavorless, boring, we’re just eating grass type of gross. I felt like the term vegan itself had this huge psychological impact because food simply did not taste the same upon mentioning it is vegan. In reality, even a simple plate of pasta with tomato sauce and basil is technically vegan. Silly brain of ours!

But that train of thought is slowly changing. I see more and more people embracing the notion of vegan for many different reasons. Mine is purely a health & freshness reason and I think it is so great that we’re opening up more to the idea of creatively mixing ingredients to make something good, even if it is vegan. It's really just a matter of changing your mindset.

Ad

More variety. More options. More soul food.

But now leading to my next point. The vegan hype. How authentic is this hype? Don’t get me wrong, I completely respect those who choose to be vegan. My gorgeous animal-loving ginger, Charlotte, is a hard on vegan and whenever we are out and about together in the city, I do make that conscious effort to eat vegan in respect to her choices. So long as she respects the fact that I will eat a nice piece of prime (vegan) steak behind her back when I’m through with her.

Ad

But back to my original point

I remember going to Rimini one Friday night, and decided to switch my love for alcohol with Chaya Ice Tea instead. Yes, on very rare occasions, I do make smarter life choices. So imagine my surprise when I see the ice tea bottle labeled ‘100% vegan’. Being the idiot consumer that I am, I thought, Wunderbar! Let me pay those extra francs for vegan ice tea… tea leaves… isn’t that normally vegan by default? I’m sure there must be a logical explanation somewhere in there, but it really made me think about how this term, given the trend, can be so easily exaggerated and manipulated.

Ad
Like fair trade coffee at Costa Coffee

If you’ve ever read The Undercover Economist, you would understand what I’m talking about here. The tendency to play on people’s ethical conscious in order to squeeze some extra cash. If you multiply that by millions of consumers who don’t know any better, you’re well on your way to ‘ethical’ wealth, which leaves with the ultimate question, is it really all that worth it?

Meanwhile, as you ponder on that thought, I shall continue brainstorming and sipping on my mean Gorilla smoothie. Till then,

City talk: video tip


I am a volunteer at PAFI, a small foundation in Switzerland that supports 200 children from an underprivileged community in Brazil to go to school and eat a warm meal per day. Recently, we fulfilled the children's dream of a sports field. To complete the project, install plumbing and buy sport equipment we are looking for some additional funding. Because we don't have any administrative costs, every cent benefits the children directly. Here is the link to the project: https://www.crowdify.net/de/projekt/sport-pausenplatz
Does anyone know organisations and foundations in Switzerland that we could contact to supporting our project?

City talk


We are a small group meeting on a monthly basis to discuss a book and usually have dinner together afterwards (not obligatory).
We meet in Zurich and our October book is: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
If you would like to join please send me a PM through RonOrp and I will send you all other details.

Florence Biennale
Florence Biennale
Hi, I’m Ivan, an Austrian artist, now living with my family in Vienna. I am asking you to support my participation in the Florence Biennale, one of the most recognized international art exhibitions which will take place in October 2023. Not only is it a prestigious event that attracts artists from around the world and provides a platform to showcase my work to a global audience, for me, Florence is the birthplace of Renaissance and a key inspiration for my own work. The idea for this project developed during COVID, a difficult time for any artist, where I the profound impact lockdowns and social distancing rules had not only on connecting with the artworld, but also on the artistic process and vision itself. Being unable to visit cities and museums of inspiration, having limited freedom to connect and thrive through inspiration with others led to the idea to become more proactive again and visit the key metropoles and participate in events as the 2023 Florence Biennale. So it became a project, for which I am working closely with my family and especially the youngest generation (my grandchildren) to also learn about new and innovative ways to get support. So here we are, this is the first social media and crowdfunding exercise in my life, exciting, new and somewhat frightening as well, and I enjoy it! It would be great if you support my campaign!
Take me to the crowdfunding project
