德國的飲食文化不外乎是大塊吃肉、大口喝酒，不過顛覆世人想像的是近年來在德國吹起了「素食風」，這樣做的原因其實是為了「善待動物」。

 

德國每年的豬肉產量動輒數百萬噸，首都柏林在上個月舉辦全歐洲最大規模的素食節，他們做的食物不含任何動物性脂肪，包括牛奶、起司，都使用小麥蛋白取代，就連甜點也貫徹素食理念，不用牛奶和雞蛋做冰淇淋，改用橄欖油來取代乳製品。

 

 

這場素食節已經舉辦第八屆，雖然說德國被稱為肉食主義的國家，但許多民眾為了動物權捨棄肉食，有越來越多人響應蔬菜主義，希望能為動物們盡一份心力。

 

這樣人道的行為不禁讓人感動，各國也慢慢開始興起吃素食的風潮。

 

 

在美國紐約因為擁有第一座提供全素飲食的公立學校以及越來越多素食美食餐廳，因此曾經被「善待動物組織」評為2014年「素食者最友善城市」。

 

加拿大多倫多每年九月都會舉辦素食節，維持三天的活動不止提供各種美味的素食，還策畫豐富的節目和參展商，讓參與的民眾更能感受素食的益處。

 

不要把吃素食當成一種義務，現在吃素食不僅健康環保還是最新的時尚。

Veg Food Fest

Veg Food Fest - Toronto Vegetarian Association
Dateat the vegetarian food festival
September 9th-11th, 2016

Location
Hosted over 10-acres of Harbourfront Centre’s beautiful waterfront.

About
It’s a food festival first. Both local and international chefs will wow you with delicious dishes, desserts, drinks and everything else under the sun. Plus, we stock a marketplace full of vendors who will change what you think is possible for vegan food. It’s a weekend full of cooking demonstrations, free samples, new products and cookbook launches. Oh, and eating. You seriously won’t believe how much eating there is. We insist on making this event free to the public, so all you need to bring is an appetite. And if you’re an omnivore, don’t worry – we won’t try to recruit you. The food might, though.

Between meals, our program is stuffed with workshops, lectures, fitness classes, music, panel discussions and other special events. But let’s be honest, you won’t find out why we are North America’s largest veg food festival by reading words on the Internet. You‘ll have to visit us September 9-11, 2016 for a weekend-long celebration of the best the vegetarian world has to offer.

This Year’s Schedule

Our History
On April 28, 1985, five hundred people gathered at the Kensington Campus of George Brown College (now the Kensington Market Lofts) for the Toronto Vegetarian Association’s first Vegetarian Food Festival. The event featured ten cooking demos led by local chefs and restaurateurs and a screening of The Vegetarian World, a 1982 documentary narrated by William Shatner.

Presented by the Toronto Vegetarian Association, the Veg Food Fest is the leading event of its kind in North America and one of the largest vegetarian events in the world. The festival attracts over 40,000 visitors, 130 exhibitors and features over 30 hours of programming including live cooking demonstrations, music, workshops, films and presentations on a variety of topics. The festival has been a launching point for many new products and businesses.
