The Frugivore Diet

80/10/10 on a budget

2017-05-03T06:40:14.000Z

Hi everyone,I am going to be moving out from home pretty soon and don't know if I can afford the 80/10/10 lifestyle on a student's budget. I have been reading other similar discussions but none can really compare to swiss pricing... because we all know Switzerland has one of the most expensive living costs. Does anyone have any good tips how to eat cheaply in Switzerland? (German part of Switzerland by the way, Zürich/Bern). Is Aldi or Lidl my best bet?

Rohkost WG

2014-07-28T09:40:42.000Z

Hallo zusammen

Da meine Grossmutter nun im Altersheim bleiben wird, ist das Bauernhaus mit Umschwung und Parkplätzen zu vermieten. Natürlich wäre es cool wenn Rohköstler einziehen würden. Ich wohne ja im Gartenhaus hinten raus.

Adresse ist Birrfeldstrasse 7, in 5243 Mülligen.

Das haus bietet genug platz für zwei Familien, zwei/drei Paare, oder 4 Einzelpersonen. An Einrichtung könnte auch alles übernommen werden. Auch eine schöne Wiese und Gartenteil wäre inbegriffen.

Der Mietpreis exklusiv Nebenkosten würde sich etwa auf 2000.- bis 2500.- belaufen.

Bei Interesse bitte einfach mal schreiben. Ich würde dann auch mehr Details und auch Bilder posten.

liebe Grüsse; Randy

Fighting back against Swiss Milk ad campaigns

2014-07-02T14:01:16.000Z

Hello!

So I was thinking the other day how much I dislike the Swiss Milk ad campaigns. How frustrated I feel when I see them. You know the ones with the calves playing volleyball(?) and in swimming gear?

The problem is that if people could really see the reality of what is going on, if they had the knowledge , they would feel compassion for these creatures because humans are at heart compassionate beings. I believe that all humans are love. It is only when we see animals as "others" are we able to bury our compassion. The more we see them or any creature -human or otherwise, as different from us the easier it is to enslave, torture and kill them.

In Switzerland people are only seeing these ridiculous Swiss Milk posters which create a story of lies- 1. that milk is good for humans and belongs in their diets and 2. that cows are treated humanely (and apparently do a lot of sports).

So lets fight back. Lets bust the perception and lies being fed to us and provide the people with the truth that doesnt involve markting campaigns. I don't believe that the Swiss Milk industry or meat industry should be able to dominate and brainwash with their money making, exploitive agenda. We have something to say so let's show the truth.

I am proposing an event to reveal the lies. We can hand out flyers, hold a demonstration (in front of Swiss Milk?) and talk to people about an alternative way of eating.

I have already asked the peeps at the Vegane Gesellschaft Schweiz if they want to collaborate.

The more of us there are, the better it will be! Date to be announced...

organic raw vegan place to eat in Geneva

2014-07-02T08:09:47.000Z

Hey guys,if you happen to be in Geneva and are looking for a nice place for lunch- I can definitely recommend Ifeelbio - they are very small but sooo good! they have organic, raw vegan dishes, smoothies, juices - all fresh and very delicious! :)

Fruity Tip's

2014-07-01T05:51:22.000Z

Here we can post actual nice occasions to buy good fruits/greens if we know about any. Since the chain stores have often the same assortment in the whole country and even above, that should work well for all of us.

Lidl has delicious flat peaches right now, they are in small plastic boxes, 500g/1sfr., they are not soft when you buy them, but they ripen quite well.

Monthly Fruitlucks

2014-06-28T13:44:26.000Z

Hi everyone

I talked to some of you at the Swiss Fruit Fest about organizing monthly fruitlucks. All of you seemed to be interested.

Here are some of my ideas:

I think we should rotate between cities and we should fix a date that's always the same (like every 1st sunday of the month).

- Who's interested?

- What are your thoughts on this?

- Anyone who wants to organize a fruitluck in july?

- What about those of you who live in Romandie, are you interested too?

organic restaurant

2014-06-22T13:55:08.000Z

Hey guys,

are there any good organic restaurants in Lausanne, Geneva or Montreux?

thanks!

Swiss fruit fest this summer?

2014-02-16T15:33:05.000Z

Hi Guys,

Just curious- would anyone be interested in organizing a fruit festival here in Switzerland? I would be willing to help organize if there are others who are interested. NY and Thailand are pretty far away and it would be great to have a local fest here in CH this summer. Maybe a weekend camping and a potluck along with hiking, sports etc??

If anyone is interested in doing this with me, let me know! :)

Katherine

AN OTHER MEET-UP??

2014-01-13T19:38:34.000Z

Would anyone be interested in an other meet-up? I would really love to make some connections with other HCRV's in Switzerland. =)
