Meletti Jenner.

Italy who does not eat meat are the most vegetarians in Europe
fault of a refrigerator brightly lit. "I saw the red steaks, ham, chicken ... Before they were just" products "bought at the supermarket. That day I realized that the refrigerator was full of animals killed and torn apart to be my daily food. I past twenty five years. Since then I am a vegetarian. " Nearly one-shot di fulmine, per Franco Castorina, coordinatore nazionale della Società vegetariana di Genova. Luciana Baroni, medico di Mestre e fondatrice della Società scientifica di nutrizione vegetariana si è invece allontanata da fiorentine di manzo e grigliate di pesce il giorno in cui ha compiuto quarant'anni. "Ci pensavo anche prima, alle sofferenze degli animali. Ma non riuscivo a decidermi. Poi ho pensato di farmi un regalo di compleanno: nutrirmi senza provocare sofferenze. E ho scoperto che così si vive anche meglio".

Si fa presto a dire "vegetariani". In questa galassia ci sono infatti i "latto-ovo-vegetariani" che escludono carne, pesce, molluschi e crostacei ma si cibano di latte, uova e qualunque tipo di vegetale. There are "lacto-vegetarian" who also avoid eggs and dairy products. Finally there are the vegans, who together with meat and fish also give up milk and eggs. Six million - according to an AC Nielsen revised Eurispes - in this 2010 should be seven million (the first in Europe, according to estimates the European Vegetarian Union). Among them, 10 percent are vegan.

"In our society of nutrition - Luciana Baroni says - we're in 400, almost all professionals. We try to explain what really is vegetarianism as a diet based on plant foods represent one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to stay healthy. We are not missionaries, we do not want to convert what we call omnivores. However, we are available to those seeking a healthier diet. "


some years now the doctor is also vegan." At first I thought the pain was only on farms with animals fattened by force, transport , slaughter ... Then I stopped drinking milk and eating cheese because the cow and the calf is taken away to bring the milk to the dairy. Although eggs contain pain and suffering. The chicken eggs are different from male broiler chicks who obviously can not do eggs are thrown into a meat grinder and they become food for other animals. "

associations vegetarians are different (three main Milan, Mestre and Genoa), but the message is the same: "The vegetarian does not give up, but chooses. The vegetarian is happy." "Today - says Luciana Baroni - I prepared pasta with broccoli and leeks and bread with tahini, a sauce of sesame seeds. If you become a vegetarian, you do not lose friends. Those who come to dine with me at the end ask me recipes . If I go to other people's homes warn them of my choice and a risotto or pasta can prepare ". Felice also Genoese Francesco Castorina. "Today I cooked whole wheat pasta with lentil soup and burgers. Food is important, in our message. Not surprisingly, our conferences are short - maximum half an hour - and are always followed by dinner, the heart of the courses theoretical and practical cookery. There are many questions we are asked. A vegetarian diet is dangerous? You can live without meat? Our diet - we answer - it is dangerous if done badly, like the diet of omnivores. You survive? Most of the Indians for centuries do not eat meat. The iron and calcium? Just choose the right vegetables and legumes.

tofu ravioli, meatballs, peas, barley biscuits ... "Sure, it takes longer to cook a steak. But just watching TV and less time is. Being a vegetarian means making a lifestyle choice but do not feel superior to others. A Genoese lady (85 years old and is a vegetarian by 70) but says that if you can be a vegetarian without being good (Hitler was a vegetarian, ed) there can be no goodness without vegetarianism. In the past so many looked at us strangely, now something is changing. Here in Genoa, for example, have called to conferences at the Festival of Science. It means that we take seriously. "
You do not pay fees to enter the Society of Genoa. Just subscribe to the site." By choosing to become a vegetarian even friends. At the end of March to organize the first Claviere ski vegetarian, vegan cuisine. I also made this choice, when I discovered that milk and cheese made my hands swell.

All united for their own health and health the world. Vegetarians and vegans, in their material and say that "to produce just one kilo of meat are from 7 to 16 pounds of soybeans or other legumes, 15,500 liters of clean water and 323 square feet of pasture." The pound of flesh is eaten by those who can afford it while the world's poor must give up the vegetables. To demonstrate that the diet without meat and fish will not weaken mentioning the names of athletes who have done amazing the world, from Carl Lewis to Martina Navratilova, Edwin Moses by Paavo Nurmi.

"While a vegetarian diet there is no problem - says Professor Vincenzino Siani, Professor of Ecology of nutrition at the University of Tor Vergata - some doubt exists for the diet vegan. The proteins are also found in cereals and legumes but vitamin B12 in plants is not present - if not in small part in some algae - and who also gives up milk and eggs will remain free. This is why vegans should take this vitamin pills and this is their Achilles heel. I am a vegetarian but not vegan. We can not justify saying that the man who ate only plants for centuries and managed to survive. Who ate grasses, leaves and vegetables before eating all the insects that were in the middle and small pieces of land. Our hygiene has changed the way we take the plants, no more "enriched" as in the past. "

Ten percent of vegans, however, seems on the rise. "Whoever becomes vegetarian to omnivore, at first, giving up meat and fish, he threw himself on cheese and sometimes beyond. I think that hurt both the cheese and instead is only the excess of that food. And then surrendered. I still to take milk and dairy products, albeit in small quantities. It seems absurd to resort to pills. "

in Verona in June last year, opened the first pediatric clinic vegetarian Italy. "Vegetarians - says Professor Leonardo Pinelli, pediatric diabetes specialist and nutritionist - who also want their children to follow their choice and do not know where to turn. Pediatricians are not trained and they get angry." What, does not give the meat his son? "." The clinic is free and public, organized by local health authorities and the university. "We know that a vegetarian diet is good. We know that 40% of diseases, from diabetes to hypertension, cholesterol, can be addressed with a vegetable diet. But we have no Italian data, statistics and studies almost all come from the United States. We want to study "our" parents and "our" children. They come to us mothers and fathers do not have enough information on the Internet or taken in macrobiotic store. They come to ask, for example, what to do for the weaning to six months, when other small step to the homogenized meat. We denote fruit, vegetable broth, cream of rice or corn and tapioca. After a week or two recommend the red lentils peeled baby food. Sure, it may surprise a vegetarian choice made by parents for babies, but they will be small to decide when they grow up. It must be noted however that the taste is formed in the second six months of life and the children will always remain a passion for delicate flavors such as legumes and vegetables. Parents come to us for another reason. The grandmother who protest that a child can not grow without meat, the mother may be stronger than those of a university professor. "
