Although there are many niche com­munit­ies in Ber­lin that cater to many groups of people, the sub­ject of a healthy and respons­ible diet is one of the lead sub­jects among Ber­liners. From Pren­zlauer Berg to Char­lot­ten­burg you have all sorts of res­taur­ants, bars and events that pro­mote and raise awar­ness of a bio, vegan or veget­arian life­style. While I’m per­son­ally not inclined to ever give up my love for meat, I was still very impressed by all the info that I could gather at the Veget­arian and Vegan sum­mer fest at the Breit­scheidplatz next to the Bahnhof Zoo.

Albeit only a small event, it was an amaz­ingly laid back atmo­sphere, accom­pan­ied by good weather and chill people from every corner of Ber­lin as it seemed — punks, hip­pies, stu­dents, and folks like you and me. I fell in love with the vegan ice cream on sale, with the green touch and with that huge blow up cow. Make sure to be there next year and check out all the healthy places in Ber­lin if you want to recon­sider your nutri­tion (or if you just want to try out some­thing besides Döner and Currywurst).
