The worldview of vegetarianism is “the absolute
least that anyone can do to deal with the world’s overwhelming environmental,

Ethical debate
Tara Gold, the founder
of online children's store Ethical Kidz, talks to us about why ethical shopping
is so important today.
An increasing number of
parents are considering eco-credentials and ethical values when they shop for
kids' kit. Vegetarian Living spoke
to Tara Gold, the founder of online children's store Ethical Kidz, about why ethical
shopping is so important today, and how a local approach can help to tackle a
global problem...
When and why did you set up
Ethical Kidz?
In 2007, after my third child, Ellen, was born. I wanted to be at home with my children, but also wanted to work at something I enjoyed.
In 2007, after my third child, Ellen, was born. I wanted to be at home with my children, but also wanted to work at something I enjoyed.
What are your core values
as a business?
The wellbeing of our family, friends and community is at the heart of our business. We wanted to form a company that would start taking steps towards tackling some of the issues that will affect the future of these special people and places, as well as protect other families and communities around the globe.
The wellbeing of our family, friends and community is at the heart of our business. We wanted to form a company that would start taking steps towards tackling some of the issues that will affect the future of these special people and places, as well as protect other families and communities around the globe.
We believe that global warming is the biggest threat we
face as we move into the future. As a result, our business values have
developed around environmental considerations, ethical practices and sustainable behaviour.
We want our children to be healthy, happy and part of a
caring community, as well as helping them to understand the issues our planet
is facing. We have tried to set up a company that supports these goals.
Where and how do you source
products?
We select suppliers that share our ethos – a concern for the environment and a belief in the need for ethical and sustainable practices. We choose products that fulfil certain criteria – they should be environmentally friendly, handmade, locally and ethically produced, with the ability to be reused or recycled; they should also be educational and encourage active, imaginative or creative play; and support cottage industries and sustainable practices. The more criteria each product fulfils the better!

The more criteria each product fulfils the better!
However, we realise
that some compromises still have to be made. Rather than disregard a supplier
because they don't tick every box on our list, we decided to credit them for
their positive aspects. Sometimes we have to sacrifice one credential for
another. For example, our Oskar &
Ellen products offer a great range of hand-sewn fabric toys that encourage
imaginative play. Although these products are made ethically and encourage
sustainable business practices, they are made in sewing studios in the Philippines so
are not produced locally to us.
Local suppliers are
contributing more and more products to our range. We are surrounded by some
extremely creative cottage industries and we like to offer these small
businesses a chance to promote and sell their work on a website without the need to set one up
themselves. Included in this range are handmade children's clocks, knitting and
baking sets, pencil cases and cushions.
Why is 'green' so important for
kids – and parents?
Global warming will dramatically change the way we live our lives, if not during our lifetime, certainly during the lifetime of our children and our grandchildren. What we do now will make a difference. This is why we must act now.

What's new on the site – and
what's next?
We're aiming to add more sections to our free activities and factsheet pages during the coming year. In particular, we want to add more information pages about how the environment works and also more healthy-eating sections. We are continually on the lookout for more handmade products too.

We are currently an online store; however, following the move we also hope to
set up a small shop.

Why People Become Vegetarians from Vegetarian Voice
Most
people wonder what drives vegetarians to give up meat and adopt an entirely
different lifestyle. There is no single answer to this question.
Vegetarians
have decided to eat this way for a reason - some even for multiple
reasons. Most of them claim that they became a vegetarian for one of four
reasons.
1.
The majority of vegetarians have ethical problems with eating meat.
They
disagree with how chickens are debeaked, forced to live in small cages, and are
then slaughtered when they do not produce eggs fast enough. Most vegetarians
also disagree with the crowded and stressful environments animals are forced
into and the hormone-laden feed used to make them grow faster and produce more.
People
who become vegetarians for this purpose often draw ethical boundaries in
different spots, depending on their personal beliefs. For instance, some
staunch vegans won’t consume yeast, wear wool or silk, or even eat certain
vegetables, such as carrots, that require killing the plant to harvest.
On
the opposite side of the spectrum, some vegetarians (sometimes referred to as
pseudo- vegetarians) will actually eat fish and chicken on a regular basis.
2.
Health concerns are the second biggest reason.
Many
of these people have high cholesterol and perhaps a heart condition. Sometimes
it’s just a worry that because heart disease or strokes run in their families
and they want to do all they can to prevent themselves from having these
problems. Others do not eat it because it often contains high concentrations of
hormones and preservatives.
It
could just be that they feel better physically when eating a vegetarian diet.
3.
Some vegetarians simply do not like the texture and taste of meat. Much like some
non-vegetarians don’t like the taste of vegetables.
4. The fourth and smallest group of vegetarians cite environmental reasons for not consuming meat.
4. The fourth and smallest group of vegetarians cite environmental reasons for not consuming meat.
They
complain that consumption of meat causes farmers to continually deforest land
to create grazing land for cattle. They say if you use the crops grown to feed
animals for meat production is used to feed humans, there would be such a
surplus of grain that no hunger or starvation would exist anywhere in the
world.
There
are many more varied and often personal reasons people decide to adopt the
vegetarian lifestyle. Some of them maintain it for life while some give it up
after a period of time and add fish or chicken back into their diet.

Reviewed by Lavina Melwani
Leo Tolstoy, the man who gave the world War and Peace and Anna
Karina, was a strict vegetarian. For an aristocrat in Czarist Russia to
renounce meat was unheard of, but then Tolstoy was a man with a social
conscience.
Leonardo da Vinci, the great artist, engineer and creator of the
Mona Lisa, was such a fervent vegetarian that he would buy caged birds from
poultry vendors and set them free.
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, inventor of cornflakes and a brilliant
surgeon, was a vegetarian who set up a chain of vegetarian restaurants in Skid
Row where the poor could get a meatless meal for a penny.
These are some of the remarkable people you meet in Rynn Berry 's Famous Vegetarians and their Favorite Recipes. If you are
a vegetarian, you will be pleased to know that you are in some very
distinguished company. Pythagoras, the ancient Greek sage who gave us the
Pythagorean theorem, was also the father of vegetarianism in the West. In fact,
Berry
explains that until the late 19th-century people who ate meatless diets were
called "Pythagoreans." Plutarch, Buddha, Socrates, Plato, Percy
Bysshe Shelley, Henry Salt and George Bernard Shaw were all vegetarians as were
social reformer Annie Besant, writer Malcolm Muggeridge and Sylvester Graham,
inventor of graham flour and the graham cracker.
Famous Vegetarians and their Favorite Recipes (Pythagorean Publishers) is an intriguing book which takes you
into the lives of famous people who left the meat out of eating, and also gives
you their recipes. The book contains 70 recipes for soups, pastas, entrees and
desserts right from George Bernard Shaw's Savory Rice to Swami Prabhupada's
Pleasingly Bitter Vegetable Stew. His prodigious research included historical
accounts, cookbooks and family notes. Berry
says the work was arduous but very stimulating.
For Buddha's recipes Berry
studied Food and Drink in Ancient India and found that spinach was one of the
vegetables Buddha urged his followers to eat. Using the spices and
curry-recipes which were prevalent in those days, Berry recreates Buddha's probable recipe for
Curried Spinach. He has also found and published the vegetarian recipes of
Leonardo da Vinci which he translated from medieval Latin into English.
Interestingly, these are in De Honesta Voluptate, written in 1475 and
considered the first modern cook book.
Famous Vegetarians, which is subtitled Lives and Lore from Buddha to the Beatles, also
includes present-day celebrities such as the ex-Beatles-George Harrison, Paul
McCartney and his wife Linda-Hollywood stars Dennis Weaver and Cloris Leachman
and even the wrestling star Killer Kowalski, who was the first professional
athlete in the West to go vegetarian. Kowalski, who is very interested in
spiritualism, observes: "No one who eats the flesh of animals can progress
spiritually beyond the average."
Rynn Berry ,
who is himself a diehard vegetarian, has written several books on vegetarianism
including The Vegetarians and The New Vegetarians and is a frequent lecturer on
the subject. He turned vegetarian when he was a teenager. He recalls, "I
was a bookworm and I read widely. I found my intellectual heroes-George Bernard
Shaw, Shelley, Gandhi-were all vegetarians. That's what propelled me." Berry found the
vegetarian diet made him feel lighter and more energetic although in those days
it was considered eccentric, even bizzare, to be a vegetarian.
Today, of course, the prospects for vegetarians are much better
with many restaurants catering to them. Berry
is an avid cook himself, especially of Indian and Chinese cuisine. He says,
"The first thing I studied was Indian cooking. It's the highest, the most
sophisticated form of vegetarian cooking."
Vegetarianism has taken Berry as
far as China
to do research on the vegetarian aspects of Taoism. He points out that Taoism
itself was influenced by Hinduism and Jainism in the first century bce, and
according to some historians, Tao Te Ching, the sacred book of Taoism, is a
thinly disguised manual of yoga. India
has, of course, been an important part of Berry 's
research and he recently spent three months living with a Jain family in Bombay .
Although Berry
interviewed many distinguished vegetarians, he particularly remembers his
conversations with the Nobel prize winning writer Isaac Bashevis Singer:
"Vegetarian themes and motifs have sounded through even his earliest
work." Asked whether he turned vegetarian for his health, Singer replied,
"I didn't do it for my health but for the health of the animals."
Rynn Berry
is not a Hindu, though he says he is, spiritually. He indentifies very strongly
with Indian culture, and when he is in India he is often mistaken for an
Indian and asked for directions on the street.
Currently he is researching a book on the vegetarian
representatives of the major religions of the world, including a Catholic monk
who was expelled from his order for trying in his capacity as monastery cook to
introduce vegetarian food into the Franciscan order.
Berry believes that even the earliest Western vegetarian movement
such as Pythagorean can be traced to Indian influences, and that India with the
traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism has been the cradle of
vegetarianism: "Today, in our time, the Indian influence in America is
quite prevalent with the arrival of Swami Satchidananda and Swami Prabhupada
and other swamis who have had a tremendous influence on the dietary habits of
the world. Vegetarianism is burgeoning in the West and a lot of it is
proceeding from Hinduism, the American version of Hinduism. We owe a tremendous
debt to India
and it continues to be a source of inspiration to the world."

The Extraordinary Science

Cornett for The New York Times
By MICHAEL MOSS
Published: February 20,
2013 1347 Comments
On the evening of
April 8, 1999, a long line of Town Cars and taxis pulled up to the Minneapolis headquarters of Pillsbury and discharged 11 men who controlled America ’s largest food companies.
Nestlé was in attendance, as were Kraft and Nabisco, General Mills and Procter
& Gamble, Coca-Cola and Mars. Rivals any other day, the C.E.O.’s and
company presidents had come together for a rare, private meeting. On the agenda
was one item: the emerging obesity
epidemic and how to deal with it. While the atmosphere was cordial, the men
assembled were hardly friends. Their stature was defined by their skill in
fighting one another for what they called “stomach share” — the amount of
digestive space that any one company’s brand can grab from the competition.

Readers’ Comments
Readers shared their
thoughts on this article.
James Behnke, a 55-year-old executive at
Pillsbury, greeted the men as they arrived. He was anxious but also hopeful
about the plan that he and a few other food-company executives had devised to
engage the C.E.O.’s on America ’s
growing weight problem. “We were very concerned, and rightfully so, that
obesity was becoming a major issue,” Behnke recalled. “People were starting to
talk about sugar taxes, and there was a lot of pressure on food companies.”
Getting the company chiefs in the same room to talk about anything, much less a
sensitive issue like this, was a tricky business, so Behnke and his fellow
organizers had scripted the meeting carefully, honing the message to its barest
essentials. “C.E.O.’s in the food industry are typically not technical guys,
and they’re uncomfortable going to meetings where technical people talk in
technical terms about technical things,” Behnke said. “They don’t want to be
embarrassed. They don’t want to make commitments. They want to maintain their
aloofness and autonomy.”
A chemist by training with a doctoral degree
in food science, Behnke became Pillsbury’s chief technical officer in 1979 and
was instrumental in creating a long line of hit products, including
microwaveable popcorn. He deeply admired Pillsbury but in recent years had
grown troubled by pictures of obese children suffering from diabetes and the
earliest signs of hypertension and heart disease. In the months leading up to
the C.E.O. meeting, he was engaged in conversation with a group of food-science
experts who were painting an increasingly grim picture of the public’s ability
to cope with the industry’s formulations — from the body’s fragile controls on
overeating to the hidden power of some processed foods to make people feel
hungrier still. It was time, he and a handful of others felt, to warn the
C.E.O.’s that their companies may have gone too far in creating and marketing
products that posed the greatest health concerns.

The discussion took place in Pillsbury’s
auditorium. The first speaker was a vice president of Kraft named Michael Mudd.
“I very much appreciate this opportunity to talk to you about childhood obesity
and the growing challenge it presents for us all,” Mudd began. “Let me say
right at the start, this is not an easy subject. There are no easy answers —
for what the public health community must do to bring this problem under
control or for what the industry should do as others seek to hold it
accountable for what has happened. But this much is clear: For those of us
who’ve looked hard at this issue, whether they’re public health professionals
or staff specialists in your own companies, we feel sure that the one thing we
shouldn’t do is nothing.”
As he spoke, Mudd clicked through a deck of slides — 114 in all —
projected on a large screen behind him. The figures were staggering. More than
half of American adults were now considered overweight, with nearly one-quarter
of the adult population — 40 million people — clinically defined as obese.
Among children, the rates had more than doubled since 1980, and the number of
kids considered obese had shot past 12 million. (This was still only 1999; the
nation’s obesity rates would climb much higher.) Food manufacturers were now
being blamed for the problem from all sides — academia, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, the American Heart Association and the American Cancer
Society. The secretary of agriculture, over whom the industry had long held
sway, had recently called obesity a “national epidemic.”
