The paper presents results of two studies concerning tourism of Polish and foreign tourists. Accommodation preferences, needs prioritization, and opinions about tourism services have been researched. The study topic is not present in literature and has a niche character, although a slight upward tendency in the number of people choosing a vegan lifestyle is being observed in Poland and abroad. Studies were carried out in November 2013 (in Poland) and October 2014 (in other countries) with the use of the diagnostic survey method and questionnaire technique (computer-aided web-based interview). Research groups consist of 223 and 115 respondents respectively. Results of the presented studies indicate that for both Polish and foreign vegans the availability of proper room and board is one of the factors determining the holiday choice. Respondents would agree to pay more for a stay in the case it contained vegan board. Both study groups assess the knowledge of hotel, catering, and tourism industry staff about vegans’ needs as insufficient, as well as, the number of resorts providing vegan board. These studies have a pilot character and will be carried out in the future with a bigger number of respondents.

The paper claims that in the online discussions on Facebook concerning veganism – a brand new social food habit in Western societies – one can observe the mixture of traditional moral and revolutionary arguments. The presence of almost-religious extremism impacts a veganism-related verbal and visual argumentation, and even violence against the vegans. From the technical point of view, in the discussions concerning the veganism the probability argument, the argument of going-beyond and the ad sacrificium argument prevail.

A debate over the morality of Kosher slaughter [Shechita (Hebrew: שחיטה)] has raged in Poland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark, where the Jewish ritual slaughter was outlawed. The more the debate goes on, the more awareness arises to Shechita as a basic Jewish religious practice. Yet veganism is a Hebrew religious operation too. This article discusses Hebrew vegan belief in terms meaningful to Jews, yet considering its utopian nature, in terms applicable to others as well. Both Shechita and veganism have universal Hebrew claims. Yet both claims are to be studied. Within this vast theme, I will analyze here veganism only, with respect to its utopian role and as a theological structure of one, yet global, community: the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem. They believe themselves to be the descendants of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob Israel. They are Jewish by their cultural nature: they observe Shabbat, Torah and a weekly fast. In 70 A.D. after the Romans destroyed the second temple they escaped and fled southward and westward to various nations in Africa two millennia ago where they were sold as slaves and were enslaved in America. They left America in 1967 led by their spiritual leader Ben Ammi, defined their departure as an exodus from America. Via Liberia – where they became vegans – they arrived in Israel in 1969, established an urban kibbutz, a collective communal living which is located in a desert region. Like most Jews, their diet has tremendous importance, but unlike most Jews they are vegan. The African Hebrews have very specific vegan dietary practices. Their tradition includes teaching and studying a special diet, which is vegetarian, organic and self-produced. They observe Shabbat strictly. On Shabbat, they fast and cleanse. This mirrors their spiritual outlook that eating is a hard labor of which they are obliged to rest from by the Ten Commandments. This article presents a breakthrough idea that fasting on Shabbat indeed reflects an ancient Israelite religious tradition. “Food for Peace” s a metaphor for the theology of the Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem unfolding their messianic utopia through which they believe people may achieve inner peace and even world peace, encompassing decades of powerful hopes, realities and nutritious lifestyle.

This article presents the increasingly popular phenomenon of vegetarianism from the perspective of moral theology. After synthetically describing the different types of vegetarianism, this study identified what motivates people to refrain from the consumption of meat and animal products. Vegetarians’ sensitivity to the fate of livestock as well as their ascetic motivations do not incite any moral objections, but rather can be considered a moral ideal. Responsibly practicing vegetarianism poses no threats to human health. The main objections to vegetarianism pertain to the ideologies and doctrines that motivate people to practice it; for, these ideologies oppose a Christian understanding of creation.

PL

Celem niniejszego artykułu było zaprezentowanie coraz popularniejszego zjawiska wegetarianizmu z perspektywy teologii moralnej. Po syntetycznym opisaniu jego rodzajów dokonano charakterystyki motywacji, które leżą u podstaw rezygnacji ze spożywania produktów pochodzenia zwierzęcego. Zastrzeżeń moralnych nie budzą decyzje argumentowane pragnieniem ascezy i wrażliwością na los zwierząt gospodarskich. Mogą być one wręcz uznane za ideał moralny. Odpowiedzialne praktykowanie wegetarianizmu nie stanowi także poważnego zagrożenia dla zdrowia człowieka. Istotne obiekcje należy jednak skierować pod adresem wegetarianizmu motywowanego ideologicznie czy doktrynalnie. W swoich podstawach jest on bowiem sprzeczny z chrześcijańską wizją stworzenia.

The article is a reductio ad absurdum of assumptions which are shared by a largenumber of followers of the animal welfare movement and utilitarianism. I arguethat even if we accept the main ethical arguments for a negative moral assessmentof eating meat we should not promote vegetarianism but rather beefism (eating onlymeat from beef cattle). I also argue that some forms of vegetarianism, i.e. ichtivegetarianism,can be much more morally worse than normal meat diet. In order to justifythese thesis I show that there are significant moral differences in the consumptionof animal products from different species.

Nutritional choices are affected by culture, tradition and above all by the narrative we adopt for human history. The article gives an overview of the (pseudo)scientific beliefs, psychological factors and ethical orientations that affect nutritional choices. Among the various food theories today, great importance is given, for example, to the so-called Paleolithic diet, which consists of proposing a dietary model based on blood groups, which are assumed to have developed throughout different periods of the natural evolution of Homo sapiens, which were characterized by peculiar alimentary regimes. Moreover, psychological determinant drivers affect food choices and could lead to pathological eating behaviors (e.g., anorexia, overeating, binge eating). Finally, the ethical aspects of nutrition are closely correlated to vegetarianism, which in turn embraces an anti-speciesist thinking and recognizes the need for humans not to inflict unnecessary suffering on animals. Vegetarianism, anti-speciesism and ecologism often represent different aspects of the same issue: a lifestyle that testifies the need for a change in traditional paradigms, in the interest of humankind and the future of life on our planet.

This paper attempts to show several aspects of relations between veganism and reducetarianism. It analyses current definitions of both practices with particular emphasis on the evolution of a definition of reducetarianism – from the practice of a reduction of meat's consumption to the practice of a reduction of consumption of animal products in general. Then, on a basis of reducetarian's publications, the depiction of vegans and veganism is analyzed. The article ends with a presentation of arguments for maintaining a two-element classification of dietary practices with regard to animal products: reducetarianism (a reduction of animal products without an intention of their exclusion) and veganism (a reduction with an intention of such an exclusion).

PL

W artykule analizowana jest, głównie na podstawie materiałów The Reducetarian Foundation, ewolucja i różnorodność definicji i opisu reduktarianizmu, a także klasyczna definicja weganizmu przygotowana przez The Vegan Society. Badane są relacje pomiędzy dwoma postawami, zarówno w aspekcie formalnym opartym na zestawieniu definicji, jak i osobistym, na podstawie opinii poszczególnych osób. Przeprowadzone analizy prowadzą do próby znalezienia odpowiedzi na pytanie czy weganizm jest i/lub powinien być uznany za formę reduktarianizmu.

В статье рассматриваются репрезентации веганства в контексте споров о способах противодействия деградации природной среды. При этом выдвигается тезис о том, что веганство используется инструментально в дискурсе антропоцена, что, в свою очередь, ведет к маргинализации страданий животных. Обращаясь к книге Донаты Марфиак и Ежи Рея Mamo, tato – dlaczego nie jemy zwierząt, czyli o tym, jak dzieci ratują świat [Мама, папа – почему мы не едим животных? Или как дети спасают мир], показано, что одна из областей, в которой связь между веганством, благопо- лучием животных и заботой об окружающей среде выдвигается на первый план таким образом, что подчеркивает взаимозависимость и общность всех живых организмов, – это веганская детская литература.

In her article, Marzena Kubisz examines representations of veganism in the context of debates about the ways to counteract the degradation of the natural environment while claiming that veganism is used instrumentally in the discourse of the Anthropocene, which, in turn, leads to a marginalization of animal suffering. By referring to Donata Marfiak and Jerzy Rey’s book entitled Mamo, tato – dlaczego nie jemy zwierząt? Czyli o tym, jak dzieci ratują świat [Mummy, Daddy, Why Don’t We Eat Animals? Or the Way Children Save the World] Kubisz demonstrates that one of the areas in which the connection between veganism, animal welfare and environmental care is foregrounded in a way which stresses the co-dependency and communality of all living organisms is vegan literature for children.

PL

W artykule badane są reprezentacje weganizmu w kontekście dyskusji na temat sposobów zapobiegania degradacji środowiska naturalnego. Jednocześnie stawiana jest teza o instrumentalizacji weganizmu przez dyskurs antropocenu, która z kolei prowadzi do marginalizowania kwestii zwierzęcego cierpienia. Na przykładzie omówienia wybranych aspektów książki Donaty Marfiak i Jerzego Reya Mamo, tato – dlaczego nie jemy zwierząt, czyli o tym, jak dzieci ratują świat pokazano, że jedną z przestrzeni, w której związek pomiędzy weganizmem, dobrostanem zwierząt i troską o środowisko wybrzmiewa w sposób podkreślający współzależność i wspólnotowość żyjących organizmów, jest wegańska literatura dziecięca.

Питер Сингер - один из самых влиятельных ныне живущих философов. С середины семидесятых годов прошлого века его размышления на темы этики, касающиеся отношений человека с другими разумными животными, стали чрезвычайно важным ориентиром для дискуссий, причем не только научных. Однако за десятилетия деятельности философа изменились социальные условия и статус некоторых практик, в том числе веганства, к которым относится книга Сингера Why Vegan? Eating Ethically. Ни в одной из публикаций на сегодняшний день философ не дал подробного и исчерпывающего анализа теории и практики веганства, поэтому на книгу Why Vegan? возлагались большие ожидания. К сожалению, анализ этого издания выявляет его недочеты и недостатки.

EN

Peter Singer is one of the most influential philosophers alive. Since the mid-1970s, his ethical considerations related to the relationship between man and other sentient animals have been an extremely important point of reference for discussions, academic and otherwise. Over the several decades of Singer’s philosophical activity, however, the social conditions and status of some practices have changed. This is also the case of the practice of veganism, a topic to which Singer’s book Why Vegan? Eating Ethically seems to be devoted. In none of his previous publications has Singer analyzed in an in-depth and exhaustive way the theory and practice of veganism, a fact which had raised the public’s expectations for Why Vegan? Unfortunately, the analysis of this book reveals its shortcomings and deficiencies.

PL

Peter Singer jest jednym z najbardziej wpływowych żyjących filozofów. Od połowy lat siedemdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku jego rozważania etyczne związane z relacjami człowieka z innymi czującymi zwierzętami stanowią niezwykle istotny punkt odniesienia dyskusji, nie tylko akademickich. W ciągu dziesięcioleci aktywności filozofa zmieniły się jednak warunki społeczne i status niektórych praktyk, choćby weganizmu, któremu z pozoru jest poświęcona książka Singera Why Vegan? Eating Ethically. Filozof w żadnej z dotychczasowych publikacji nie analizował w sposób pogłębiony i wyczerpujący teorii i praktyki weganizmu. Tym większe były oczekiwania wobec Why Vegan? Niestety, analiza tej publikacji odsłania jej niedociągnięcia i braki.
