vegetarian products

The man who decided to give up meat, in Moscow is not easy. Footwear from kozhzama not find vegetarian restaurants almost there, and at each step usually dangerous - even in Dirol have beef gelatin. "Big City" has compiled a list of places, goods and services to those who feel sorry for the cows and chernoburok: where to buy soy sausage, carrot cakes and ethical detergents, as well as search for vegan heartbreaking film and communicate with their own kind.

These signs are placed on products that are not animal testrirovannoy

Community

Now the planet is about 1 billion vegetarians. Figure is not exaggerated - in one only populous India, most people do not eat meat for religious reasons. In the western world the rejection of the use in food animals is based, of course, the morality, ethics, and even physiology (is questionable scientific hypothesis, popular among vegetarians, that man was originally conceived as a creature of nature, herbivore). In order not to get lost in the vegetarians, they can be divided into several communities.

Pesketariantsy

This is a vegetarian who has stopped eating meat, but other than plant foods consumed fish. Other restrictions in diet and lifestyle pesketariantsy not adhere. Someone has calculated that even a simple failure of one person from steaks, goulash and chicken legs lifesaving 5 cows, 20 pigs, 29 sheep, 760 chickens and seven rabbits.

Ovolaktovegetariantsy

This is the largest group. They do not eat anyone who moves, but may eat eggs and / or milk. Accordingly, ovovegetariantsy eat eggs, but avoid dairy products. Laktovegetariantsy - contrary consume milk and dairy products, but do not eat eggs.

Vegans

Proponents of absolute vegetarianism. The main principle is a complete rejection of any other kind of animal exploitation. Vegans do not eat any animal products, including milk and honey, do not wear clothes made of fur, leather, wool, silk, not sitting in a leather chair, do not use products that have been tested on animals (drugs, cosmetics, household chemicals and even condoms ). Vegans protest against the use of animals for entertainment: circus, a zoo, dolphinarium, horse riding and other activities involving animals, for vegans unacceptable. Pets are also considered unethical. Vegans - the most active fighters for the rights of animals.

Fruteriantsy

As vegans, vegetarians follow the philosophy of the absolute, but even more radically. Fruteriantsy try not to harm not only to animals but also plants. Eat only those fruits that are collected is not harmful to plants: fruits, grains, and nuts. Fruteriantsy think to pick apples or tomatoes can and digging carrots or potatoes - is inhumane. Just in case some do not eat mushrooms, so that from the point of view of biology mushrooms - not plants and animals, and a separate kingdom.

Syromonoedy

The smallest group. Eat only raw ("live") vegetables and fruits, and seeds, nuts and raisins. The main difference from fruteriantsev - never subjected to the food cooked and eat only one type of food at a meal. For example, only apples for breakfast and only tomatoes for lunch.
