The foods served by ItalFresh are a modern take on Ital ideals, and include cauliflower florets triple dipped in a ginger beer batter with tropical slaw and jerk mango egg-free mayo; channa dal, thyme-infused beetroots, seeds, spinach and maple roasted sweet potato; and the Jerk Porty, which is an homage to Portland Parish in Jamaica where Jerk originated.
The chicken or pork is substituted with Portabello Mushrooms, marinated in house jerk and seared, served over quinoa and peas. Running through Ital food is the Rastafarian concept of livity, which is based in the idea that the lifeforce of God, or Jah, exists within all living things, from people to animals. With ItalFresh, they hope to will clear away stereotypes of Rastafarians and veganism.
Our mission with ItalFresh has been to break those stereotypes about Rasta and also about Ital food, It is stereotypically known as one pot, simple stews with no salt and no flavour - but we have flipped that on its head and we cook exciting, vibrant and modern dishes with complex flavour profiles whilst still adhering to the principles of Ital. It's far from it, eating plant based pushes you to be more creative and inventive in the kitchen and explore foods you may have never even heard of before," says Poppy.
I gave up animal products because of the suffering of the animals and was interested to find that Rastas also consider the suffering of those who cannot defend themselves.
And the Rastafarian music!! I am deeply touched by the softness and love. Although I cannot see that the rest of the world will follow this beautiful example, it gives me hope.
The Ethiopian Orthodox church also promotes Veganism as a way to connect to God. When one is fasting they are not allowed to consume any flesh or animal products like dairy. Respect, rasta1.
And thanks for your reply. This is what many of us believe. You must be glad to know rastafari have friends all over the world. Thanks for sharing some wisdom. Respect David. The original function of a doctor is to take the patients off medication by curing their sickness. Modern day doctors just put people on medication that treat the symptoms and have side effects that is treated by another medication making the patient worse than before. Prevention is better than cure. Try not to get sick by living a clean lifestyle.
Only use pharmaceutical if it is completely necessary and their is no natural alternative available. I am vegan again and gaining the spiritual benefits that are spoken about here.
Thank you. I am noticing that worldwide religious populations applaud vegan life. A recent article stated that 70 percent of our countrymen us are on prescription medication, up from 40 percent in the s. Could you tell me, what is the view of rastafarians regarding medication? Thank you for your kind attention. Respect Kathleen. You do have some Rastafarian that eat small sized fish in moderation.
I even know a Rasta man that grows his own chicken which are fed soy. Can you be considered rastifarian if you are not a vegan? This was a very interesting hub and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Interesting read. I don't know much about the culture, but I like what I read in this article. It's our responsibility as an intelligent species to be accountable for our actions to those who can't speak for themselves. Respect QueenDee. It sounds Like you are already a Rasta by far.
There is nothing else needed. As long as you in love with nature then everything else comes after. I went natural because I wanted to be myself naturally and love me for who I am not what I should look like or want to be.
I don't now where to start but I feel like I've finally found what I've been looking for. I'm really excited about this journey and I can't wait til I can come to Jamaica and Ethiopia where my roots are. Respect Taisiya, If you have to eat meat, it is best to grow the animal yourself. Doing this can be a way to establish a connection with the animal and probable even become a vegan. Wel said. Sometimes i consider to become a vegan but it can be hard because i love meats immensely.
Respect Au faith. I also read all the ingredients before buying a product. Seeking nutritious food is indeed an uphill battle.
I try to grow as much simple foods as possible like okra and tomato because I do not want to worry about pesticides. I keep reminding myself that farmers, distributors and supermarkets are trying to turn a profit and are competing. This is why they use pesticides to prevent crop loss, preservatives to improve shelf life and growth hormones to improve yield. They have no interest about the health of the user.
A very interesting hub. I have long said that eating the necessary food before running it through another animal is more efficient, more healthful, and less expensive. I also believe the growth hormones fed to animals affects not only their meat, but in the case of cows, their milk and milk products, which in turn affects the people who drink it.
I have thought for several years that the milk with growth hormones plays a big part in early puberty. My daughter reads all the ingredient lists on products and refuses to eat any that contain animal product. Clearly something has changed in our environment to cause so many diseases like diabetes, thyroid disease, and autism, and others to proliferate to the extent they are now doing.
It makes sense to me that one of the causes would be all the additives to our diet, either through meat growth hormones, antibiotics, etc. I really think the emissions and other side products of petroleum based fuels are playing a big part too. You have a very good description of the digestive process and the differences between carnivores and herbivores. Thank you for this very informative hub. Respect Chrisinhawaii, Your right, it should be non-natural foods that should be called controversial.
What a fascinating article, Rasta1. You've got all kinds of great titles, and a nicely focused niche. I've been having some health issues lately - physical and mental - and I think that my typical crappy American diet has a lot to do with that. What the heck? Respect poojasd7, Only if the hens are yard hens. The hens that produce Commercial eggs are under a lot of stress, sick and are fed hormones.
Eggs should not be eaten every day unless your very physically active and detox regularly. Hormones cannot be destroyed by heat or digestive juices. It goes straight into the blood. There was once an experiment where they forced some prisoners to become vegans. The vegans were a lot less likely to fight or get angry compared to their meat eating counterparts. Respect Travel, The preservatives is in fine print and they never mention it in the commercials. The FDA does not test for that. The effects that preservatives on the body is relatively unknown.
For example, Ice cream contains crude oil derived products. However, the FDA does not require labelling of all the contents of ice cream. Respect Lizzy, Thank you for carefully evaluating the article. I see that you analyse things for facts. Milk is very dangerous. It causes more sickness than meat. Lacto-Ova Vegetarians need to purge their body of the toxins in the system. A 12 hour watermelon fast should do the trick or any other fruit that almost tastes watery.
I also experiment with other diets other than vegan such as macrobiotic or fruit diet to name a few. Keep up the lifestyle. The most important thing is that you are aware. I being an Eggetarian, don't know if the eggs hen's are good or bad for health. Also, can you tell me if the transfer of that extra Adrenalin from animals to human being causes any harmful effect?
Very interesting, indeed. I am a vegetarian by preference, though it is not always possible to eat as I prefer for numerous reasons. I don't follow any particular religious belief--I'm an atheist--but I believe in absolute respect for Mother Nature.
I was a very strict label-reading vegetarian for 15 years However, I'm not, nor have I ever been a vegan. Even knowing all of the philosophical, environmental, health andethical reasons for being so, I'm afraid I just love things like cheese and ice cream far too much to ever give them up totally.
I've tried the soy analog cheeses, and I have nothing more polite to say than "Ick, nasty-tasting! I don't drink milk--I don't like it, but I do use it for milkshakes and in cooking. I mostly eat my breakfast cereals dray, as if it was chips--or I use rice milk--again, can't stand the taste of soy or almond "milks.
