从农场到冰箱 素食者慎入

两人的饮食习惯很有分寸,一天要吃六七顿,说是为了补充不断消耗的能量。听起来很吓人,不过食量并不大,他们很少碰添加糖的食物。每次去超市,他们会非常仔细查看包装袋后面的营养成分表(美国各卖场的食品都标有营养成分表),喜欢买organic(有机)食品。这种食品是纯天然的,不用化肥,不添加人造物,价格自然也特别贵,比如有机西红柿的价格是一般西红柿的三四倍。
 
在美国,接触很多素食主义者后,我发现素食不仅仅停留在表面,很多时候,它不只是为了健康,更是一种生活方式,一种人生态度,或者是一种特别的信念。

在我身边,每位素食主义者都有很强的自制力,不只在吃的方面,在生活的各个方面都非常注意健康,每天的作息非常有规律,积极锻炼,注重心理和精神上的健康,比如经常看一些修身养性的文章。
 
美国女孩安娜喜欢一边吃饭一边看租来的碟,但她也给自己定下了规矩——饭吃完立即停止看碟,不管电影进行到如何紧张的地方,然后下次吃饭时接着看。安娜运动也排了计划表,夏天跑步,冬天则在室内骑运动自行车。有时功课紧了,就一边看书,一边骑车锻炼。这样的状态让安娜觉得自己很有魅力,她会找摄影师拍下自己充满活力的照片,然后投给需要平面模特的媒体。

玛利亚·罗斯(Marla Rose)

2013年5月9日examiner.com报道

【编注】6月16日将举行为期5周的“芝加哥纯素帮带活动”,该活动旨在帮助人们更易于向纯素过渡。活动期间新手和纯素至少1年的素食顾问一对一搭配。每周举行一次聚会,主题涵盖营养、环保、动物权益,另外还有烹饪演示和当地农场动物救助基地考察活动。最后,我们将以家常菜聚餐(Potluck)作为“毕业典礼”。
 
芝加哥地区推出一项令人兴奋的新活动,该计划旨在帮助人们从经验丰富的素食主义者处汲取知识,以便更易于向纯素食过渡。该活动名为:“芝加哥纯素帮带活动”(Chicago Vegan Pledge Program)将于6月16日星期天开始,持续5周,每周将在赫尔斯泰德大街1901北路的卡林鲜食坊(Karyn’s Fresh Corner, 1901 N. Halsted)举行聚会。
 
在该项活动期间,新人将与各自的素食顾问一对一搭配。向素食过渡的早期阶段,很多人会遇到一些望而生畏,令新人打退堂鼓的事情,而素食顾问将指导他们顺利通过这些关卡。
 
参加活动需要具备哪些条件?素食新人仅需要承诺素食30天,并且参加每周的聚会,并与自己的素食顾问一起健康、自律地生活?听起来对我很有吸引力,也很重要!活动主题将涵盖:营养、素食主义的环境因素、在一个非素食世界中如何成为一名素食者等。我与和平常倡议网络(Peace Advocacy Network)的伊丽娜·格林·森贝尔(Ilana Green Cember)讨论过,她为我充实了一些资料。
 
你准备参加素食顾问活动的话,能告知我们吗?

该活动由和平倡议网络(Peace Advocacy Network)和推广芝加哥素食(ChicagoVeg Outreach)主办。30天的免费纯素食帮带活动将于6月16日开始。素食者承诺坚持30天素食,而且配备一对一的素食指导顾问,顾问将给予素食新人个体化指导。同时,参与者可以收到装满免费素食和当地素食餐馆的优惠劵的大礼包。我们每周星期天下午2点~5点将举办信息发布会,内容涵盖:营养、环保、慈善、另外还有烹饪演示和当地农场动物救助基地考察活动。最后,我们将以家常菜聚餐作为“毕业典礼”。
 
无论是素食顾问或素食新人,如何参与本活动?

我们正在寻找有意参与者,任何感兴趣,期望尝试一个月素食,并需要得到一些额外指导的素食新人均可参与;任何素食一年以上,并愿意与素食新人结对,并陪同他们一同前往杂货店购买食材,一起做饭的人士,欢迎加入我们素质指导者行列。

Coming soon: the Chicago Vegan Pledge Program

May 9, 2013

BY: MARLA ROSE

An exciting new program is hitting the Chicago area, aimed at helping people gain from the knowledge of experienced vegans to make their own transition away from animal products easier. The Chicago Vegan Pledge Program will be held for five weeks, with weekly meetings at Karyn’s Fresh Corner, 1901 N. Halsted starting Sunday, June 16. With the program, novices will be matched up with their own vegan mentors to help guide them through the early stages of transitioning to veganism, something that can be daunting for many people. What’s the catch? Newbies will just have to commit to being vegan for 30 days and the weekly meetings. Living healthfully and consciously with your own vegan coach? Sounds like a deal to me. Topics covered will include nutrition, the environmental reasons for veganism, and being vegan in a non-vegan world, among others. I spoke with Ilana Green Cember of the Peace Advocacy Network and she filled me in a little. 

 
Can you tell me about the Vegan Mentor program you are starting?

The program is hosted by Peace Advocacy Network and ChicagoVeg Outreach. The free, 30 day vegan pledge program starts on June 16th. Vegan pledges agree to go vegan for 30 days and they are paired one-on-one with a vegan coach, who can give them some individual support/guidance. They also receive goody bags filled with free vegan samples and coupons to local vegan establishments. We host weekly information sessions over that month (Sundays 2 -5p) that cover topics like nutrition, environmentalism, compassion, plus cooking demos and a field trip to a local farm animal sanctuary. We end with a potluck "graduation."
 
How can someone get involved, either as a mentor or a newcomer?

We are looking for pledges, anyone interested in trying veganism for a month who might need a little extra support, and vegan mentors, anyone who has been vegan for at least a year who is willing to pair with a pledge - go on a grocery shopping trip, cook with them, etc.
 
They can go to ChicagoVeg.com/CVP, which has the links to the forms you will need to fill out. Someone from our team will get in touch with them in the next few weeks. We have an optional info session on May 12th to go over the program and answer any questions. You can also follow us on Facebook.
