The vegan revolution and its future markets
by Joël Luc Cachelin
— A practical guide on how an entirely vegan society can work — A thought-provoking utopia – exactly what we need right now — By the futurologist and founder of the Wissensfabrik ("Knowledge Factory") with a large network We're on an idyllic, albeit fictional, archipelago in the North Sea. Nobody keeps an animal against its will here, and no one sells the materials obtained from killing an animal. No animals are used in agriculture or for research, beauty and food industries. There are no zoos, and there's no animal testing. No one wears wool or leather. Vegania is entirely vegan. Now Karnivoria wants to follow suit, and asks Vegania for advice: how can an entirely different society work; how is it possible to move away from animal products, and how would this affect the catering and food industries and agriculture? An exciting scientific experiment that Joël Luc Cachelin underpins with linguistic sophistication and scientific expertise in this extraordinary book about the possibilities of a livestock-free society.

He covers the entire range from the vegan trend to insect food, from aquaculture to cultured meat. Kriener also focuses on the various obscure quality seals, chaotic labelling on the wine rack and our inconsistency as consumers.

Für unsere Welt, unser Klima und uns selbst
by Nils Binnberg
Sind Veganer tatsächlich die besseren Menschen, müssen Fleisch-Esser sich schämen? Wo endet das Recht auf Selbstentfaltung? Wo beginnt kollektive Verantwortung? Und: Können wir uns und das Klima überhaupt noch heilen? Nils Binnberg, der bekannte Journalist und Autor des Erfolgstitels Ich habe es satt!, entlarvt in Anders essen unsere Befindlichkeiten und gängigsten Mythen über den Zusammenhang von Klimawandel und Ernährung. Er untersucht, ob und inwiefern Tierhaltung in Bezug auf den CO2‑Fußabdruck unsere größte Sünde ist. Und erläutert, ob es tatsächlich eine Ernährungsformel gibt, die unseren Planeten retten kann. Der Autor hat bei Landwirten, Politikern, Ökonomen und Wissenschaftlern, aber auch in seinem persönlichen Umfeld recherchiert. Sein Buch ist eine faktenreiche, meinungsstarke Ermutigung, die Chancen zu ergreifen, die vor uns liegen. Denn jeder Einzelne von uns kann etwas tun – auch ohne seine individuellen Bedürfnisse aufgeben zu müssen!

Adventures at the Frontier of Birth, Food, Sex & Death
by Jenny Kleeman

Who are the people dictating and shaping the change taking place, and what is motivating them to do it? Can we safely assume that these entrepreneurs are in it for the thrill of human advancement, or might there be more sinister motivations at hand? Sex Robots & Vegan Meat will take the reader on a fascinating exploration of the changes afoot, and their implications for who we are as a society, and as humans.

Family & healthSeptember 2013Vegane Ernährung im Säuglings/ und Kindesalter: Die rein pflanzliche Ernährung in der Übersicht
by Rubner, Lisa
Vegan diets are on everyone’s lips. For different reasons, more and more people are choosing this stricter form of vegetarianism, which contains only food made from plants and no animal products. But how healthy is a vegan diet? A poorly chosen and one/sided diet can lead to health issues, which is why a vegan diet necessitates well/founded knowledge and a conscious treatment of nutrition. This is especially true when it comes to the diet of infants and toddlers. Consequently, the main question of this study is: Is a vegan diet appropriate for infants and children? This leads to further questions: Can a vegan diet be recommended and supported with regard to the fulfillment of demand? And is it possible to prevent a nutritional deficit through specific directives?
