How to Become a Vegetarian (Recipes, Diets, Beginner’s Guide)

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

How to Become a Vegetarian (Recipes, Diets, Beginner's Guide)
Product DescriptionThis book is part of Hyperink’s best little books series. Our best little books are 3,500-5,000 words of fast, entertaining information on a highly demanded topic. Based on reader feedback (including yours!), we may expand this book in the future. If we do so, we’ll send a free copy to all previous buyers.

ABOUT THE BOOK

There are countless reasons that may have been behind your decision not to eat meat: moral, practical, and health-related are only a few. If you are like most people, the the first step in your process of going vegetarian is figuring out exactly what led you to this decision.

Maybe, like many vegetarians, you simply believe that eating animals is wrong. No matter how humanely the animal was raised, or how allegedly painless the slaughter, you simply will not be responsible for ending another life. One vegetarian recalled how this moral truth was evident to her from a young age, but she didnt make the switch until much later in life, mostly because she hadnt known how.

Perhaps, though, your ethical conflict is less black and white, and you are more opposed to the practices involved in eating meat than the theory behind it. You may have seen a video like this one of brutal slaughterhouse procedures produced by the Humane Society, or you are one of the millions of readers of books by Jonathan Safran Foer, Eric Schlosser, and Michael Pollan chronicling the cruelty, corruption, and staggering environmental effects of the factory farming industry.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Deena Shanker is a writer living in San Francisco. After moving to the west coast from New York City in the fall, she is loving San Fran’s beautiful weather, colorful architecture, and never-ending vegetarian food options. She loves visiting the beach with her dog, Barley, and eating cheese (also sometimes with Barley). She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Barnard College.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

Its almost inevitable that you will face some scrutiny about your choice to become a vegetarian. People are going to ask you why, and more often than not, they will tell you why youre wrong. Know yourself and the reasons behind your decision and dont try to persuade anyone else to give up meat. Be careful to watch your tone so that you dont reproach people you care about, even if they are doing it to you.

I recommend gaging the persons interest before continuing the conversation. Are they just asking you to be polite or do they really care? If the person really cares, give a short explanation that isnt too graphic. (E.g., Animals are often slaughtered in an unnecessary cruel and inhumane manner is better than Did you know that cows are often skinned before theyre even dead?) If the person is less engaged, you may want to suggest some of the reading, movies, or websites that played a role in your decision and leave it at that.

Also, be tactful. Dont talk about the cruel treatment of animals right when your dining partner is digging into his burger. Dont send a PETA video to a friend that has no interest in learning about it. You are unlikely to change your friends habits, but you may end up offending or alienating people important to you.

Vegetarier — warum? Becoming a vegetarian — why?

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Vegetarier — warum? Becoming a vegetarian — why?

Eine Erklärung warum man Vegetarier sein sollte, hat wohl schon Albert Schweizer am Besten auf den Punkt gebracht: “Solange es Schlachthöfe gibt, wird es Schlachtfelder geben”

Darin verbergen sich grundlegende Weisheiten, dass unsere geistige Haltung maßgeblich von unseren Taten beeinflusst ist und umgekehrt.

Es gibt nur eine einzige Welt wie die unsere. In unserer ganzen Galaxie und Millionen von Sternen und Lichtjahren weit keine zweite, die mit Lebewesen bevölkert ist. Daher ist das Leben an sich besonders kostbar.

Alle Lebewesen stammen von einer Ursprungsform ab, was bedeutet, wenn man es ganz genau nimmt, dass wir uns auf bestimmte Art selbst aufessen, so wie wir jetzt handeln. Auch im übertragenen Sinne, indem wir die Ressourcen verknappen und die Umwelt massiv schädigen.

Wir haben als “Krone der Schöpfung” eine besondere Fürsorgepflicht gegenüber unseren Mitgeschöpfen und unseren eigenen Nachkommen, sowie auch unserer Umwelt gegenüber.

Wir können selbst kein Leben herstellen – noch leblose Materie beleben, umgekehrt aber leicht.

Warum also Vegetarier werden?
Man sollte Dogmen in Frage stellen: Warum essen Millionen von uns jeden Tag Tonnen von Tieren?
Ist es vielleicht falsch, etwas zu tun, was alle schon immer taten und tun?
Ist es auch richtig jemanden zu töten? Weil Krieg ist?
Haben wir Krieg mit unseren Mitgeschöpfen?
Albert Schweizer: Schlachthöfe = Schlachtfelder ?

Nicht nur das Essen von Tieren ist bei näherer Betrachtung schrecklich, mehr noch, wie sie leben müssen, weil wir sie essen wollen.
Jeder weiß das im Grunde und verdrängt es. Im letzten Quartal 2011 wurden z. B. nur in Deutschland 15,2 Millionen Schweine geschlachtet. Eine unvorstellbare Zahl. Man stelle sich vor, was das bedeutet und wie es sich anfühlt. Abgesehen davon ist das eine Zahl “nur” von Schweinen, es gibt aber auch noch Kühe, Hühner, Gänse usw…

Als „hoch entwickelte, zivilisierte” Lebensform denken und reden gar nicht gerne darüber. Wir haben es so von unseren Eltern gelernt und übernehmen es ohne es in Frage zu stellen. Wir sitzen am Tisch beim Essen — die einzige Zeit an der wir alle zusammen sind. Dabei sprechen über Frieden und moralische Grundsätze, pflegen unsere Gesprächskultur zeitgleich mit gebratenen Tierstückchen im Mund. Und erst indem es hier steht, schwarz auf weiß — fühlt es sich zunehmend beschämend an.
Doch wir können uns entscheiden anders zu leben. Das ist die gute Nachricht.

Du sollst nicht töten? Ein essentieller Leitsatz, das meint wohl auch Albert Schweizer.
Solange wir nicht verstehen, dass das was wir essen auch unsere geistige Einstellung beeinflusst und umgekehrt, werden wir uns auch selbst die Lebensgrundlage nehmen und damit auch die Lebensgrundlage für die eigene Spezies. Erst wenn wir das erkennen und anfangen, jeder für sich im Kleinen etwas zu ändern, werden sich die großen Dinge verändern und es kann in Zukunft vielleicht wirklich Frieden geben auch mit unseren Mitgeschöpfen.

Vegetarier sein ist nicht nur gesünder in jeder Hinsicht, sondern im Wesentlichen eine Geisteshaltung.
