Vegetarians in Italy were ten years ago, that in 1999, over one million, according to a survey Eurispes collected in the dossier "Zooitaly: reflections on the relationship between man and animal." Before Lombardy (18%), then the Lazio (15), then Piedmont and Val d'Aosta (13) the rest of North and Central. Finally, the South, with Campania (6) first among the last. Top cities: Milan and Rome, as cities are the first to follow international trends. factors that had persuaded the people? The reporter threw some cases beyond: the danger hormones, then the outbreak of mad cow disease, then the risk dioxin (MT Venetians, Corriere della Sera, August 5, 1999 ). But there is a clear trend towards increasing "humanizing" of animals, explained the sociologists.
"And so, in the pot of Italian pizza, pasta and vegetables - the main ingredients of the Mediterranean diet - have replaced steaks, fillets and chicken legs." What nonsense, if anything, are foods most often returned, as has always been in Italian history.
"But from a nutritional standpoint, a diet without meat or 'fish can' supply the substances they need?" asked the reporter. Feel how the grocer Michele Carruba replied: "Personally I am not convinced that the man should change the nature [unbelievable," ed.] However, if a person feels a physical or psychological rejection for a particular food, the nutritionist should take this into account and help you correct your diet. "Moreover, the new diet has it on a green. In recent years in industrialized countries meat consumption had grown too. rebalanced went. "
In 2002, Italian Vegetarian nearly doubled, to about two million nine hundred thousand, according to Eurispes.
In 2006, about 6 million, so a doubling again in another three years, according to the ACNielsen survey agency, as reported by Licia granule ( Republic, March 16, 2006 ), which speaks of "healthy style" that is imposed. Only makes a mess and also mixes the raw food and the disappearance (and not at all vegetarian) macrobiotics. These journalists snob! The good news is at least the etymology of vegetarian vegetus (healthy), not vegetable: the will read my book The Flat Verde.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Maybe with a salad, a dish of beans, barley, seaweed and tofu soup. Better if all raw [raw beans and farro? What confuisione!] or cooked at low temperature. Healthy diet and, if it is true - as a new research supports English - that the weight gain is proportional to the consumption of meat. "
" The world of vegetarians (Latin vegetus , force) and celebrating: never in recent months, research and statistical analysis are comforting choice more or less radical - depending on the ethical beliefs, social, and religious - to refrain from eating meat, a practice that involves hundreds of millions of people around the world. The economic indicators are all upward, from England - where the business of meat-free food has increased by 38% - the U.S., coming in at nearly two billion dollars and an increase in turnover over the coming 2 years 61%.
Well, if we bring the "turnover", journalists feel more confident that the piece will then be published and highlighted. Advertisers, you know, are on the neck.
But the first cracks begin to appear in triumphalistic This forward. They are all "real" vegetarian these millions? No, Eurispes sleeve is large and puts us in even discontinuous. Of the 6 million shot, it turns out that "only 3 million below the diet rigorously. "Ah, well I wanted to say. So we must halve the figures of previous surveys.
However the vast majority of women among vegetarians: about 70%. Vegans or strict vegan (no eggs or dairy products) were 600 000 in 2006. I like too much, and probably for them must be calculated that at least half are "episodic vegan, people trying for a while '.
vegetarian restaurants were 300.
" The market for vegetarian foods are compatible with is constantly growing: natural food centers proliferate [ah, at last]. supply raw food guru Aris Latham - including his patients, Prince, Barbara Streisand, Sidney Poitier, Gwyneth Paltrow - has claimed the last European Congress of vegetarians need to consume large quantities of raw vegetables, preferably organic, "because 20% of the raw food, with its enzymes intact, makes it possible to more easily digest the remaining 80% cooked food. " The founder of "Firedsun food" [food cooked in the sun], the Association of American raw foodists, goes further: "We have learned that you can get excellent pate, using walnuts or almonds instead of meat, and recipes centrifuged and smoothies are delicious, just use imagination and freshest ingredients. The high-temperature cooking is becoming an obsolete technology. "
In 2009, the strange and implausible record , Italy strangely jumped to first place in Europe and among the first in the World: has about 10 million vegetarians in practice a vegetarian every 10 inhabitants, including infants hospices and old.
ridiculous. Absurd to anyone familiar with the Italian company, and for any vegetarian Italian, who knows how difficult it is to find other vegetarians. I wonder how the survey was conducted and what the questionnaire. In Italy there are many liars. Many people, even anonymously, she feels gratified in the paint as it is not. Maybe part of the respondents took advantage of the tempting question the interviewers to promise to oneself, then on to become vegetarian. A "yes" good intentions. Or respondents have taken as a general opinion poll: "In your opinion, is better the carnivorous or vegetarian?"
Meanwhile, given the precedents, it is assumed that vegetarians real time, continuously, even in this investigation from the mesh are too large, half are, in fact, half of the half. But the experience personal and social psychology in Italy told me that even this figure would be disproportionate. Could not have passed rooted traditions from generation to generation, where in fact in everyday life we \u200b\u200bencounter lots of veg (Britain, Germany etc.).
And of course journalists, even the most serious, but obviously not vegetarian, they can do? None. Who could deny these figures? None. Only a more rigorous data with and without cross-and counter-very complex and expensive. So we wallow in writing an article for them is a figure the other, never having had the magnitude of the phenomenon. Like that, however dignified, Adriana Bazzi, who is a doctor-journalist ( Corriere della Sera, February 12, 2009 ). We
the case of Rome, a city like Milan called "high concentration" of veg, well above the national average of 10%. But even a voler considerare i veg di Roma non il 15 ma il 5%, molto meno di quanto le inchieste avrebbero mostrato, sarebbero pur sempre, su 2 milioni e mezzo, ben 125 mila vegetariani.
Ah sì? Tutti clandestini, analfabeti, sordi, ciechi e muti? Com’è che non fanno vita sociale, non frequentano in gran numero nessun club specializzato , nessun ristorante , nessun corso di alimentazione vegetariana , tanto che io personalmente trovo difficoltà immense a creare perfino un piccolo gruppo di 30 persone per organizzare vegetarian dinners and parties (and it is known that the Romans only move when there is something to eat ...), and another small (20 people) sports clothes reserved for veg ? How is it that every vegetarian has in his phone book and mailing list few vegetarians? How is that even at the conferences of known club "vegetarian" about half of those present in the room is not vegetarian?

Simple: because are very few vegetarians in Italy . All those millions are a gross frame, perhaps with consumerist or crypto-commercial purposes.
Everything tells me that vegetarians real, continuous, in Italy there's not even a million . We will be hundreds of thousands. It would be more than enough, given our very small presence in the social fabric. More than 10 million liars, snobs and conformists "socially correct"!
