VeggieWorld Trade Fair in Zurich
For 2 days, October 19th to 20th , the fair attracted hundreds of people from nook and corner of Zurich. With insightful talks, delicious cook shows and joyful children programmes, the Vegan fair delighted yet enlightened the crowd on Vegan lifestyle. The fair took place in spacious Halle 622, near Oerlikon Train station, with abundant kiosks that promoted plant-based diet, clothing among other living fundamentals. Vegan supporters were spoiled for choices with umpteen alternatives.
The first day of the event featured intellectuals who spoke intensely on the subjects of sustainable and healthy eating habits. The topics were “The love of the living” by Deborah Millet, “Missionary Vegans?” by Simone Fuhrmann, “Everyday Heroes” by Lars Walther and “Future of meat production” by Renato Pichler. Each had prominent case studies and data to augment how beneficiary Vegan-ism is for one’s health and for world economy. Renowned chefs, Dr. Urs Hochstrasser, the author of “Rohkost die lebendige Nahrung”, and Sarah Kappes, from Sprouts and nuts, demonstrated delectable smoothies and Cheese Cake for the food admirers. The day ended with hilarious special from YouTube stars, Gordon Prox and Aljosha Muttardi from “Vegan ist ungesund”. The duo were undoubtedly the stars of the show because the hall was so cramped with fans that a lot many had to sit on steps and floor.
