Vegetarismus. Mehr als ein Ernährungsstil

Vegetarianism During recent decades the social standing of vegetarians has improved considerably. Scientific studies show convincingly that a well balanced lacto‐ovo‐vegetarian diet can provide an optimal supply of all nutrients for everybody. Vegetarians practice their nutrition predominantly for ethical reasons, health concerns and ecological considerations. Vegetarianism contributes to global nutrition security and to a sustainable management of natural resources. The switch to a vegetarian diet requires conviction and knowledge about the proper selection and preparation of the diet. Vegetarians report about their high quality of life – not only because they live longer.
