The Rise Of Veganism In The Promised Land Seems Unstoppable

Posted on May 19, 2016 By 382 Comments on The Rise Of Veganism In The Promised Land Seems Unstoppable

Did you know that Israel is the country with the highest number of vegans per capita in the world? And the number is rising yearly. After becoming more sensitive to veganism people start to convert their entire restaurant in order to become vegan-friendly by offering completely meatless and dairy-free dishes. For instance, that’s exactly what Nana Shrier did. The popularity of veganism has risen to such a degree that even the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) started to offer vegan-friendly ration packs, non-leather boots and wool-less berets. Read on to learn how this country seems to favor veganism more than any country in the world.

“On a typical evening at Nanuchka, a popular Georgian restaurant in the middle of Israel’s bustling Tel Aviv, music fills the air and alcohol flows freely.

Until a few years ago, Nanuchka was just a conventional Georgian pub serving traditional food like khachapuri, a cheesy bread, and khinkali, a meat-stuffed dumpling.

But then Nana Shrier, the flamboyant owner of the venue, where the walls are adorned with erotic art, became a strict vegan – in what is said to be the most vegan country in the world per capita.

She decided to convert her entire restaurant to a meatless and dairy-free establishment despite being advised against it by friends and business colleagues.

Israelis are flocking to it – and business is more successful than ever.

For vegans, everything derived from animals is off-limits. Similar to – but stricter than – vegetarians, vegans do not eat eggs and cheese, or drink milk, and in some cases even avoid honey. Leather, wool and silk are also avoided.

Sitting at Nanuchka, eating a meal of vegan tsatsivi (where cauliflower is substituted for chicken), Nana says that consuming animals is both inhumane and unhealthy.

“I don’t like it,” she explains, scrunching her nose in disgust. “I feel the body of the animals in the steak, I feel the animal in the fillet, and the blood. I don’t like it so much.”

Nana argues there is another benefit to veganism as well.

She says that sometimes, after eating a large steak, or a cheeseburger, for example, people can feel tired and lethargic.

“When you eat vegan food, you have a lot of energy to do very good and nice things,” she says with a coy smile.

When asked if she is implying that vegans have a better sex life than their meat-eating counterparts, she laughs heartily and says, “of course!”

Vegan soldiers

Veganism has become so prominent in Israel that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has started catering to followers in its ranks by offering vegan-friendly ration packs, non-leather boots and wool-less berets.

From an army base in southern Israel, Cpl Daniella Yoeli says the food is not exactly worth writing home about but she is happy to have the option of eating couscous and lentils over schnitzel and schwarma.

      Hey! This can happen for a few reasons. 1) You are not eating enough calories. Make sure to eat until you are satisfied. The vegan diet is not just the Standard American Diet minus the animal products – that is way too little food! Carb up with rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, legumes, grains, fruits and veggies! 2) Your body is used to the extra hormones from an animal product diet from the meat dairy and eggs and is adjusting.

      That Vegan Couple addresses periods a bit in this video, check it out:

    I did though when I trained for a marathon about 9 years ago and was running 10 hours a week and calories I took in were minimal. I was vegetarian then so no meat but plenty of dairy and eggs in my diet just less than 1700 calories a day.

    I lost mine for a while it takes a while for your body to get used to it, however it also means your body can’t afford to waste energy on periods/ having a baby …. So make sure you’re eating plenty !!!! If it doesn’t come back in the next few months I would consider seeing a doctor

    If you are eating balanced you shouldn’t lose period. If you only eating salads and still exercising…you may lose your period due to fast weight loss. Im not on a diet so I ate plenty of other things (veg) but I know there’s folks that are raw vegan and that provides low calories .

    Maybe you should redirect your efforts towards somthing other than propoganda. Israel have broken over 70 UN conventions, used banned weapons, bombed designated UN safe zones full of sleeping wonen and children, partake in the illegal trafficking of human organs often against the “donars” will simply for the crime of being Palestinian. They are terrorists.

    Kerry, you are so mistaken. What about Pakistan e.g.? Women have very little chance of a good education and are even allowed to be beaten as the latest news showed. In Israel, womens rights are something so natural as breathing. Interesting that the accusation of breaking UN human rights comes from a country like Saudi Arabia where gays are being hanged and women are not allowed to drive. In Israel, more women fly planes than women drive in SA and the Jerusalem Gay Pride Day is one of the biggest in the world! And those are facts, not just a propaganda by the BDS.

Or IDF illegally detaining Palestininan kids without adults or legal representation and torturing them? The list is endless.

    Where have I blamed every Israeli? I am refering to the crimes committed by Israel as an aparteid state. Its like the whole argument of ‘oh, you criticised Israel, you are an anti-semite.’ Um, no, anti semitism and anti zionism don’t correlate.

    Just wanted to clarify if wool is vegan or not? If wool is not taken from sheep it will not be be able to walk around with the weight of the wool and can die of starvation.. .. So is it bad to take away wool?

    My question is wouldnt it be cruel not to shear as the sheep can suffer because of the weight of the wool.. I have seen an animal rescue show where a sheep that got lost for a few months was in a terrible state because the wool was weighing it down literally.. and could not even walk ..

    The fact we talk about being vegan with non vegan’s is proof of our compassion for our fellow man. Eating animal’s is against their will. Raising them as food is harming our environment. Digesting animal products is harmful to the human body. Please stop hating on the messengers, we care about you the planet and the animals. All of us can thrive together when humans eat plant based nutrition only. Thank you for allowing me to share with you.

    The people of Israel have everything to do with government. It’s a democracy, is it not? That means that Jewish Israelis have influence over their government’s policies. Not to mention, every single one of them, both male and female, is required to serve in the occupying Israeli military that illegally occupies the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza. If they oppose this policy, why don’t they refuse to serve en masse. Why don’t they protest. Why don’t they forge non-governmental alliances with the Palestinians to make it one democratic state for all?

Just because their military does many wrong things doesn’t mean that they are for that and supportive of cruelty towards people of Muslim faith.

    Agree with you Mia. These people have no morals what so ever even if they are vegans. I still see them as monsters and quite frankly, I would rather be friends with someone that works in a slaughter house, instead of being friends with a vegan Israeli soldier.

    Yeah Rose, I mean I’m not from$#%&!@*Germany and I never met$#%&!@* but I think is unfair to hate on him when he was a vegetarian and it is known that he loved animals so much.

    Ridiculous, Atalia. What makes you think most Palestinians don’t take care of their children to the nest of their ability? You have the same kind of prejudice that most of the Germans had about the Jews in the 40’s. Disgraceful that you don’t see that. Palestinians aren’t even allowed to import most spices. Their water gets cut off during Ramadan month so they have water scarcity when breaking fast. Palenstinian children are taken to jail and kept there without trial. These are just some of the problems that I know about.

    I think people are negative because it’s Israel not because of the vegan bit.

    So that’s why there’s illegal settlements in the West Bank? Because they are free?

    Oh Lotte how it must be so easy for you to sit where you are and judge , only by what you see and hear in your one sided media. Why won’t you come and spend one day in Sderot or any of the villages near by and how you can run to the nearest bomb shelter in less then a minute because of Hamas missiles . Why won’t you visit the family of that 4 year old who didn’t make it. Have you heard about that beautiful 13 year old Hillel who was sleeping in her own bed and a 17 year old palastinian terrorist stab her to death ( that happened only 2 days ago)… And the worst part the mother of that boy is glad yes she is happy that her sun died shahid…. This is that crazy world we live in , so unless you plan to walk a mile in our shoes don’t judge. P.S unless it wasn’t clear I’m against any innocent PPl being killed that includes palastinian, but sometimes in war there are casualties that’s life.

    If only the rest of the Middle East would embrace and adopt the free thinking and compassionate culture of Israel, the world would be a better, more peaceful place. Spread the love for all living creatures.
