Vegan cuisine; un-vegan friendly countries
I read this great article about veganism and how to turn it into a culinary art form, which I’d like to share. Here’s a taster:
What most people don’t realize is that it’s very possible, indeed even probable, for a creative chef to make vegan food just as exciting and full of variety as any other type of cuisine.
The full article is here.
The point is, living healthily and ethically is not as easy as living life mindlessly and unhealthily - the world is designed that way. However, the same principle applies to everything. If you want to be good at your job, you need some dedication. To be physically fit, you need to exercise. To be a good friend, you need to give people a slice of your time. And the list goes on. Veganism is like that: with a few adjustments, it becomes second nature. It’s as easy as that.
On a different note: UPI has a list of the worst countries for vegans and vegetarians to travel to . It confirmed what I partly knew from my own experience: Mexico, Spain, Germany, Cuba and Central Asia. Oddly, a country like Spain that depends on tourism should be better prepared to welcome us vegans, but for some reason it is stuck in time. Let’s hope it changes one day. I spent two years in that country and I found their eating habits very limited and unhealthy.
