AR-News: (SK) The switch from red to green

[Animalconcerns]

[from Slovak Spectator]

"IN SLOVAKIA, even the vegetarian food comes with bacon."

A sentiment often heard from foreign visitors, and not unjustly. To many
native ears, the word "meatless" merely descri-bes a meal that does not
feature a steak or chicken breast as its centrepiece.

Things might be changing, however. In the past year, truly vegetarian food
has appeared at the top of the menus and advertised on the windows of at
least four new restaurants in the country's capital. Interest in meatless
diets is growing, and has been over the past decade through rebellions
against both social norms and cardiovascular disease.

According to Live and Let Live, an animal and human rights group that
favours a vegan diet (free of all animal products), 10 years ago there
were less than 100 vegetarians in Slovakia. Today, they make up as much as
1 percent of the adult population, or more than 70,000 people.
