The Vegan Food Experience: Searching for Happiness in the Norwegian Foodscape
Societies ( IF 1.7 ) Pub Date : 2020-11-30 , DOI: 10.3390/soc10040095
Giovanna Bertella

The purpose of this study was to go beyond an oversimplified representation of the vegan food experience and approach the investigation of such experience, in particular of happiness deriving from food choices, including factors at the macro and micro level. Broadening the concept of foodscape to emphasize the experiential aspect of food, this study explored how the vegan food experience can be described as a situated story about vegans searching for hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Veganism in a Norwegian context was investigated through analysis of various secondary and primary data sources, including newspapers, social media, websites, interviews, and observation. The findings suggested that the story framing the vegan food experience is characterized by a fundamental lack of interest and knowledge about plant-based food and veganism at the macro level. At the micro level, the story concerns vegans experiencing sensuous gratification, enjoyment, conviviality, and meaningfulness in limited groups, but also isolation and frustration. This study contributes to an approach to vegan food experiences that takes into consideration contextual factors, as well as relevant well-being related emotions at the individual level. From a practical point of view, this study provides an opportunity, in particular for government bodies, to improve information about the potential benefits and challenges of plant-based diets and confront possible discriminatory attitudes towards vegans.

纯素食的经验:在挪威美食界中寻找幸福

这项研究的目的是超越对素食经验的过分简化,并着手调查这种经验,尤其是从食物选择中获得的幸福感,包括宏观和微观层面的因素。为了拓宽食物景观的概念以强调食物的体验性,本研究探索了如何将纯素食者的饮食经历描述为关于纯素食者追求享乐和中性幸福感的背景故事。通过分析各种次要和主要数据源,包括报纸,社交媒体,网站,访谈和观察,对挪威语下的素食主义进行了调查。研究结果表明,构成素食主义者食物经历的故事的特征是,在宏观层面上根本缺乏对基于植物的食物和素食主义者的兴趣和知识。在微观层面上,这个故事关注的是素食者在有限的群体中经历了感性的满足,享受,欢乐和有意义,但同时也感到孤独和沮丧。这项研究为素食体验提供了一种方法,该方法考虑了背景因素以及个人层面与健康相关的情感。从实践的角度来看,这项研究(尤其是对于政府机构)提供了一个机会,可以改善有关植物性饮食的潜在益​​处和挑战的信息,并应对对素食者可能的歧视态度。故事讲述的是素食主义者在有限的群体中感到满足,享受,欢乐和有意义,但也感到孤独和沮丧。这项研究为素食体验提供了一种方法,该方法考虑了背景因素以及个人层面与健康相关的情感。从实践的角度来看,这项研究(尤其是对于政府机构)提供了一个机会,可以改善有关植物性饮食的潜在益​​处和挑战的信息,并应对对素食者可能的歧视态度。故事讲述的是素食主义者在有限的群体中感到满足,享受,欢乐和有意义,但也感到孤独和沮丧。这项研究为素食体验提供了一种方法,该方法考虑了背景因素以及个人层面与健康相关的情感。从实践的角度来看,这项研究(尤其是对于政府机构)提供了一个机会,可以改善有关植物性饮食的潜在益​​处和挑战的信息,并应对对素食者可能的歧视态度。这项研究为素食体验提供了一种方法,该方法考虑了背景因素以及个人层面与健康相关的情感。从实践的角度来看,这项研究(尤其是对于政府机构)提供了一个机会,可以改善有关植物性饮食的潜在益​​处和挑战的信息,并应对对素食者可能的歧视态度。这项研究为素食体验提供了一种方法,该方法考虑了背景因素以及个人层面与健康相关的情感。从实践的角度来看,这项研究(尤其是对于政府机构)提供了一个机会,可以改善有关植物性饮食的潜在益​​处和挑战的信息,并应对对素食者可能的歧视态度。
