Evaluated Diets
Vegetarianism
Rules are defined in The European Vegetarian Label:
- Ovo-vegetarian - contains egg
- Lacto-Vegetarian - contains milk
- Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian - contains egg and/or milk
- Vegan - no animal product
Strangely these rules do not exclude, but include. However the basic, unspoken rule, in these labels is that nothing should come from dead animals. Interestingly they note that these rules are part of Swiss law. The European Vegetarian has defined detailed rules to be included. Interestingly these rules also specify animal welfare (no battery eggs) and non-gmo. Also it talks about products used during the product creating, which are not to be found on the productlabel as ingredient.
There is also a labelling system in India (using green and red).
Raw veganism
Raw veganism follows veganism and raw foodism It is a compound diet.
Raw foodism
Raw foodism implies that food cooked at a temperature above 48 °C should be excluded. This rule is not based on the ingredients used, but on how the product is made. Thus, this can not be extracted from the productlabel.
Fruitarianism
Fruitarianism involves the practice of following a diet that includes only or primarily fruits in the botanical sense, and possibly nuts and seeds, without animal products. It seems this a rule covered by ingredient groups (fruits, nuts, seeds).
Sattvic diet
The Sattvic diet is a diet based on foods with sattva quality. Sattvic diet places emphasis on lacto-vegetarian ingredients that is fresh, seasonal, and naturally sourced (non-processed). Grains, ripe vegetables (not unripe), fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes that is well prepared and freshly cooked are favored. Oils and spices are considered sattvic, if naturally sourced and used in moderation. Milk and milk products are emphasized in many forms.
The rules seem to be mainly based on ingredient groups (grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes. However this definition has some attributes that are different:
- It should be non-processed, which includes many products.
- Ripe vegetables, which seems not very relevant in the OFF context?
